Glass is a material that can be used in many fields. Since glass is also very sensitive, using vacuum technology is often the only option in order to move the glass without damaging it. Suction cups for glass handling are commonly used in the glass industry. Lifting equipment is not only needed in production, but also in deep processing and assembly.
The types of glass commonly used in industry include float glass, automotive glass, solar panel glass, architectural glass, etc. For different applications, there are glass panels such as annealed glass, heat strengthened glass, laminated glass and tempered glass. euroTECH offers a complete portfolio of vacuum components, vacuum lifters, suspensions and vacuum clamping systems to meet industrial requirements.

Suction cups for handling glass
Glass handling suction cups commonly used in glass processing machinery and equipment include: glass cutting machine, glass edging machine, glass beveling machine, vertical glass washing machine, hollow laminated glass machine, laminated glass machine, glass glazing machine. Vacuum lifting and handling is the best way to move glass efficiently, even with heavy or large glass assemblies or workpieces, without breakage. Suction cups for the glass industry are supplied with plates, when combined with suspension bolts, also available in rigid version to suit machine requirements.
