Round flat foam rubber vacuum cups with supports
These foam rubber cups are made with a special compound called GERANIUM, with a density that allows them to grip even uneven and very rough surfaces maintaining their elasticity also after many working cycles. They are provided with self-adhesive side for a quick fixing to their support. This series of cups has been designed for handling loads with raw or very rough surfaces (sawn, bush-hammered or flamed marble, textured, non-slip or profiled metal sheets, striped Plexiglass, raw cement manufactures, garden tiles with fret, etc.) and in all those cases in which traditional cups cannot be used.
In case of lubricated gripping surfaces, we recommend using NF neoprene foam rubber. The working temperature range is between -40°C and +80°C for OF GERANIUM foam rubber and between -20°C and +80°C for NF neoprene. Their supports are made with anodised aluminium and are provided with a threaded hole in the centre for fastening them to the automation. The larger ones, on the other hand, have a side threaded hole for vacuum connection.
For the spare part, all you have to do is request the self-adhesive foam rubber cup indicated in the table in the required compound.

OF foam rubber sheets and strips
The foam rubber used for our cups can be provided in sheets or strips of the sizes indicated in the table.
Both the strips and the sheets have a self-adhesive side which allows a quick and easy fixing to the metal support.
These sheets and strips can be used to make cups of every shape and to handle loads with raw or very rough surfaces. They can be supplied in different sizes and density upon request and in quantities to be defined in the order.
The working temperature ranges from -40 °C to +80 °C.
Note: OF foam rubber is obtained by the expansion of a natural rubber, subjected to leavening through a chemical-thermal treatment.
Surface porosity with the same density, therefore, can vary, not compromising its effectiveness.

Vacupredator vacuum cups for gripping bags, packs and flexible containers
For the gripping of bags, packs and flexible containers in paper or plastic, containing powders, granulated products, loose or liquid products. These new vacuum cups have been designed and manufactured to safely grip even the most difficult and irregular packages. Made of anodised aluminium and equipped with a slotted plate inside them to allow flexible containers to perfectly adapt to the cup, as well as a special foam rubber seal which, following the inevitable creases that form on flexible containers during gripping, prevents perimeter vacuum losses.
They are especially suitable for gripping flow packs, flexible containers for intravenous therapy, bags of sweets or other similar products, plastic bags of granulated products, of cement, sugar or flour, etc.
The lifting force was calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface enclosed within the seal and a factor of safety 3.

OCTOPUS vacuum gripping system - General description
The OCTOPUS system is our answer to the ever increasing requirements of operational flexibility for palletising robots and vacuum gripping systems in general.
In fact, this system allows gripping objects of any shape and nature, provided that they do not have an excessive transpiration, without having to place or change vacuum cups, and even when their surface occupies only 5% of the entire suction plate. The maximum weight of the load to be lifted will obviously be proportional to the gripping surface.
Standard OCTOPUS systems are composed of:
- One or two compressed air-fed vacuum generator as shown in the picture and in the drawing, that has to be ordered separately, since it is not included in the code, with the exception of item SO 15 20 MX.
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with a built-in micro-fine mesh filter in stainless steel that protects the vacuum generator and is very easy to inspect. On the top outside of the box there are one or more connections for possible installation of control devices or solenoid valves for prompt restoration of the atmospheric pressure on its inside.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same system, for instance, it is possible to grip and handle cardboard boxes and the wooden pallet that supports it.
These OCTOPUS systems are also available upon request in dimensions and with vacuum tables and vacuum generators other than those indicated in the tables.

OCTOPUS vacuum gripping system
The standard OCTOPUS systems represented on this page differ from those previously described by their larger dimensions and the number of vacuum generators that compose them. More precisely:
- Two compressed air-fed vacuum generator as shown in the picture and in the drawing, that have to be ordered separately, since it is not included in the item code.
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with a built-in micro-fine mesh filter in stainless steel that protects the vacuum generator and is very easy to inspect. On the top outside of the box there are one or more connections for possible installation of control devices or solenoid valves for prompt restoration of the atmospheric pressure on its inside.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same system, for instance, it is possible to grip and handle tomato jars, paint cans, ceramic tiles, cardboard boxes, etc. and the wooden pallet that supports them.
These OCTOPUS systems are also available upon request in dimensions and with vacuum tables and vacuum generators other than those indicated in the table.

Standard suction plates PX and P2X for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates PX described on this page are installed as standard on all OCTOPUS systems and, therefore, can be supplied as a spare or replacement part.
They are made with anodised aluminium sheets with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber with two different thicknesses: 15 mm for suction plates of the PX range; 30 mm, for special suction plates of the P2X range.
The foam rubber is also perforated at the calibrated holes, but its holes have a diameter of 10-15 mm. The use of calibrated holes allows for exact calculation of the flow rate of the vacuum generator to be used, to ensure that, even in the presence of losses due to transpiration or even in case of failure to cover the object to be gripped, a minimum sufficient level of vacuum remains for gripping and handling the load.
Their lifting force was calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface of the holes within the foam rubber and a factor of safety 3.

Standard suction plates with shut-off valves PXE and P2XE for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates described on this page are the same as the previously described PX and P2X, but with the addition of shut-off valves inserted in each hole. In absence of an object to grip or in case of a defective grip of the foam rubber, the shut-off valves automatically close the suction inlet, thus preventing the level of vacuum from decreasing on the other gripping holes.
This feature reduces the vacuum generator flow rate compared to standard OCTOPUS systems, to the benefit of energy savings. Moreover, the particular shape of our shut-off valves allows the use of the gripping surfaces in any position.

OCTOPUS vacuum gripping bars - General description
These bars have been created to further facilitate the installation of OCTOPUS vacuum gripping systems on palletising robots. They are based on the same operating principle and, in addition to the advantages and technical features of the standard OCTOPUS, are equipped with a grooved support plate to allow quick installation on the machine and easy positioning with respect to the load to be gripped.
They are in fact composed of:
- A slotted anodised aluminium fixing plate for quick installation onto the machine
- One or more compressed air-fed vacuum generators, depending on their size
- A connection equipped with quick coupling for feeding compressed air to the generators
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with two air inlet connections inside at the end of the cycle, for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure and one for possible installation of a vacuum switch.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same bar, for example, it is possible to grip and move wooden joists or metal profiles and the pallet that supports them.
The OCTOPUS gripping bars described so far are the standard bars: they can be supplied upon request with suction plates and with shut-off valves and, to make them even lighter, the aluminium parts can be made of Polizene, a thermoplastic material that decreases the weight by about 40%.
