New bellows suction cup: 4.5 folds make up for a lot
The new bellows suction cup FSGC adapts optimally to different workpiece contours and different packaging materials.
When sorting and transferring cardboard boxes, paper and poly bags as well as shipping bags, speed is of the essence. For use in sorting cells, J. Schmalz GmbH has developed the FSGC, a bellows suction cup that adapts to different contours and holds various packaging materials securely even at high accelerations. To achieve this, the vacuum expert has combined a flexible suction cup neck with 4.5 folds for an increased stroke. To maximise the holding forces, the inner diameter is designed to be as large as possible.
The connection to the vacuum system is made via a one-piece connecting element. It is pluggable so that the user can quickly change the suction cup. It is suitable for various grippers, including custom-made ones from the 3D printer. The FSGC is made of NBR and is now available in outer diameters of 40, 50 and 60 millimetres.
