OverviewBernoulli’s theorem explains many phenomena, such as the lifting of a plane’s wing or of a light disc in front of a tube end from which air flows out quickly. This apparently paradoxical phenomenon is exploited for manufacturing vacuum gripping systems (vacuum cups) and handling, with no contact, fragile objects, such as semiconductor plates, silica discs, solar cells, precious metal foils, films and whatever needs to be handled with the greatest care.
Construction and features- Cups based on Bernoulli’s principle
- Made with anodised aluminium
- Stainless steel centre thrust disc
- Antistatic silicone spacers located on the cup gripping plane to prevent transverse movements of the gripped object
- Compressed air supply connections can be axial and radial
- Quick coupler for the flexible pipe included in the package
- Unused holes closed with brass threaded caps
- Rear part of the cup has 3 or 4 threaded holes for fitting to automation
