Suction cups - Import export

How does vacuum handling work? Vacuum handling using suction cups is simple. A pump sucks in the vacuum between the suction cup and the part to be lifted, and stores this vacuum in a chamber dedicated for this purpose. By creating a vacuum, the atmospheric pressure is eliminated in the suction cup enclosure. The product is then pressed against the suction cup by this same atmospheric pressure of 1 kg/cm² (which varies from 950 to 1030 hectopascals); consequently, on a suction cup of 1 m² there is a pressure of 10,000 kg, making it capable of raising this same load. This physical phenomenon makes handling by suction cups an extremely efficient and reliable technique, capable of performing a very large number of handling operations.

Keeping your soap dry between uses isn't always easy. This floating soap dish will not only help you extend the life of your solid soap, it will also make it easier to use. It's very easy to install, thanks to its magnetic suction cup, and its minimalist design will look great in your bathroom. The soap will appear to float close to the wall. The trick behind this incredible effect? The metal capsule into which you insert the soap, which will then magnetise to the suction cup. A practical accessory that combines elegance and simplicity. How do you use it? Place the suction cup on any clean, smooth surface. Place the suction cup where you want it. Press the stainless steel capsule into the soap, preferably in the centre of one side. If the soap is dry, you can moisten it to make it easier for the capsule to penetrate. All you have to do now is wash your hands.

ACIMEX vacuum lifters are fitted with high temperature (350°) silicon suction cups, which allow steel plates of up to 30 tonnes maximum to be gripped. Between the furnace outlet and the next operation in the manufacturing process, they reduce waiting time and increase productivity. This leading-edge versatile equipment scans the length and width of the steel plates and so determines which suction cups will be appropriate to grip the plate in order to optimize the safety of their grip; and this takes place regardless of the type of material (steel, aluminium, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, lead, etc.).

Bespoke machines are pieces of equipment installed on production lines (handling line, output line, etc.) and which are used to move different types of heavy loads from point A to point B (storage area). ACIMEX is specialized in the manufacture of equipment fitted with suction cups which detect the weight, the diameter and the size of heavy loads in order to grip them in complete safety and so facilitate the production process. Using its know-how in custom design and manufacture, ACIMEX innovates constantly to create bespoke machines that meet the needs of each of its customers. Two types of bespoke machines have been developped at the beginning of 2017 in ACIMEX factories, one to grip sandwich panels of 160 kg safely, and the other to move and store graphite electrodes. Evidence, once again, that ACIMEX offers turnkey solutions to its customers, and this regardless of the type of handling performed.
