Vacuum surface grippers are widely used in industrial automation for lifting, holding, and transporting objects using suction. Different designs—such as Venturi vacuum generators, electric mini pumps, multi-cup grippers, and adjustable cup positioning systems—provide solutions for a variety of materials, environments, and applications. Their selection depends on factors like available energy sources, object fragility, production flexibility, and required reliability.

Multi-cup grippers are designed for handling large, flexible, or fragile materials by distributing suction across multiple contact points. This ensures stability and reduces the risk of damage during lifting or transport.
Multiple cups distribute load across larger/flexible materials.
Glass panels, sheet metal, cardboard, plastic films, wood panels.
Glass handling, sheet metal, packaging, palletizing, woodworking, solar/electronics assembly.
This system allows flexible placement of vacuum cups to adapt to different object shapes and sizes. It supports high-mix production environments by reducing downtime and eliminating the need for multiple specialized grippers.
Adjustable cup positions adapt to varying shapes/sizes.
