Vacuum Components for Pick-and-Place and Automated Handling

PneumaticHub supplies vacuum automation components for gripping, lifting, transferring and positioning products in robotic and machine handling systems. The range includes suction cups, vacuum generators, pumps, filters, valves, grippers, gauges and switches for complete vacuum circuits.

Vacuum handling is widely used because it can grip many products from only one accessible surface. Correct selection of cup style, material, vacuum source and flow capacity helps create reliable pick-and-place performance across varying product shapes and cycle speeds.

  • Carton and case handling
  • End-of-arm tooling
  • Assembly machines

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vacuum pick-and-place?

It is an automated handling method that uses negative pressure and suction devices to grip and move products.

What components make up a vacuum handling system?

Typical systems use suction cups or grippers, a vacuum source, tubing, valves, filters and often a vacuum switch or gauge.

What is a Venturi vacuum generator?

It uses compressed air flowing through a Venturi nozzle to generate vacuum without an electric motor.

How do I choose a suction cup?

Consider product surface, size, shape, weight, acceleration, orientation and any leakage through porous material.

Why use a vacuum filter?

A vacuum inlet filter helps protect generators and pumps from dust and debris drawn in from the handling environment.

What is a vacuum switch used for?

It confirms that a required vacuum level has been reached and can provide a signal to the machine control system.

Can vacuum products be used on robots?

Yes. Vacuum grippers and cups are widely used on robot and cobot end-of-arm tooling.
