Specifications

Single head suction pump: used to absorb objects

Introduction

• The suction cup suction pump connects the suction port to the object to be adsorbed through suction cups, pipes and other components, and evacuates the suction cup, causing the internal air pressure to change from normal pressure to negative pressure. The pressure difference between the external atmospheric pressure and this negative pressure is used to achieve the purpose of adsorbing the object.

How it works

• Start the suction of the vacuum equipment to generate negative air pressure in the suction cup, thereby sucking the object to be lifted firmly, and then start transporting the object to be lifted.
• When the object to be lifted is transported to the destination, inflate the vacuum suction cup smoothly, so that the negative air pressure in the vacuum suction cup changes to zero air pressure or slightly positive air pressure. The vacuum suction cup will separate from the object to be lifted, thus completing the task of lifting and transporting heavy objects.
