Festo vacuum generators work according to the Venturi principle, i.e. they are purely pneumatically-operated vacuum ejectors. These vacuum ejectors can generate either high volume flows or a high vacuum. They are characterised by a compact design and low weight, they can be flexibly installed and don't require much maintenance. They are used in a wide variety of industries, but especially in handling and automation technology.
真空吸盘和带支架的真空吸盘是连接真空发生器和待运输工件的纽带，因此也是真空系统的重要组成部分。它们能够轻松、经济且可靠地完成工件搬运，Festo 真空吸盘和带支架的真空吸盘有各种材质（丁腈橡胶、聚氨酯、硅胶、橡胶），以及不同形状（通用、扁平、褶状、特殊吸盘）的规格。
In addition to vacuum components such as vacuum generators and suction cups, you can of course also buy matching accessories from Festo. These include various mounting and connecting components as well as compensating elements, vacuum indicators, vacuum filters, vacuum security valves and vacuum-specific accessories.
Vacuum technology is generally associated with the generic term gripper technology. There are numerous applications in handling technology in which mechanical gripper technology is used and provides many advantages. However, there are also many applications where this technology has its limits. That is when vacuum technology is often used, since it opens up completely new concepts and opportunities for industry.
Handling is one of the functions used for the flow of materials, and can be divided into storing, changing quantities, moving, securing and monitoring. The prerequisite for this is the presence of specific geometric bodies (individual parts or modules). Handling technology equipment includes components and systems for feeding technology, insertion devices, manipulators and robots. The way in which parts are handled has a major effect on productivity in automated manufacturing and assembly processes.
Nowadays, vacuum technology is an important part of handling systems and it would be impossible to imagine many industries and application areas without it. It has proven itself many times over in handling a wide variety of materials and parts, thus creating completely new perspectives and possible solutions for handling systems.
The following keywords are intended to illustrate the importance of vacuum technology and the range of tasks that it can take on in handling technology:
All these tasks enable an almost infinite number of possible applications in industry. Industrial applications of vacuum technology are, for example:
Vacuum technology offers the following advantages in handling systems:
There are many factors that determine whether vacuum technology or another technology is used. Here are some of the important ones:
Since there is a large variety of vacuum components on offer, it is easy to select those that have the required properties, such as heat resistance, speed, suction strength, etc., for a wide range of applications, taking into account the factors mentioned above. Festo offers a software tool that helps to identify and select the right vacuum components for the application.
