Vacuum technology specialist Schmalz provides integrated solutions for the handling of sheet metal and demonstrates expertise right down to the last detail – because only the correct suction pad can hold the workpiece optimally

Important suction pad requirements in the various fields of sheet metal machining include adaptability, resistance to wear, oil and heat, and their behaviour when high lateral forces are applied, e.g. when loading sheet metal processing machines or removing sheet metal parts from press lines. Suction pads specially designed and developed to meet these requirements guarantee maximum process reliability. Schmalz uses four different materials in the production of vacuum suction pads for the sheet metal industry, and these materials demonstrate their strengths in specific applications:

Nitrile rubber NBR wo different hardness values (NBR-45, NBR-60), the high-temperature material HT2 and Vulkollan VU1.
