Vacuum technology is essential in both industry and research due to its precision, compact design, and efficiency. Used widely across sectors like automotive, electronics, and medical fields, it supports fast, low-maintenance operations. Festo provides a full range of vacuum solutions, including generators, suction cups, and grippers.
Suction cups are used in industrial automation technology to lift and transport objects of all kinds, especially in vacuum systems. They form the interface between the machine and the workpiece. To ensure that a workpiece can be gripped securely, it is important to select suction cups that match the material properties of the workpiece in question. For example, some suction cups are particularly suitable for use at high temperatures, while others are highly resistant to heavy contamination.
