When used with vacuum cups, air-operated vacuum pumps are used to lift and carry a variety of packages and articles. The weight that can be lifted is a product of the vacuum level and the diameter of the cup. In automated pick and place applications, speed is another important consideration. In some instances, the porosity of the item or the roughness of the surface being picked up and the leakage of ambient air into the pump must be considered. In some cases all of these factors have to be considered. Contact Air-Vac for additional assistance.
