5. Vacuum suction cup

What is vacuum suction cup?

The vacuum suction cup uses a vacuum generator to generate a vacuum pressure difference, and then uses the vacuum suction cup to absorb, grab and move objects.

Connect the vacuum suction cup to the vacuum generator, and when the air in the suction cup is pumped out to form a vacuum state, the external atmospheric pressure will press the suction cup tightly against the surface of the object, generating adsorption force, so that various objects can be lifted or fixed.
