The Vacuforce Suction Cup Sample & Testing Case gives machine builders, automation integrators and industrial distributors a practical way to test vacuum suction cups on actual products before committing to a final pick-and-place solution.
With multiple different suction cup samples, cup materials, associated fittings and a vacuum gauge, the case provides the components needed to evaluate real products and prove vacuum pick-and-place applications with confidence.
Instead of selecting a suction cup from specifications alone, use the Vacuforce sample case to test different cup designs and materials directly on the customer's product and verify performance in the real application.
Complete Suction Cup Testing Kit
The portable Vacuforce sample case contains a broad selection of suction cups in different sizes, shapes, profiles and materials together with associated vacuum fittings and test equipment. It allows engineers and sales professionals to quickly compare different cup configurations and determine which solution provides the most reliable grip.
Multiple Different Cup Samples
Various suction cup sizes, shapes and profiles allow different gripping solutions to be evaluated for individual applications.
Multiple Materials
The case includes suction cups manufactured from materials including NBR, silicone, conductive silicone, FDA-compliant silicone and other Vacuforce compounds.
Fittings Included
Associated connectors, nipples, adapters and vacuum fittings make it easy to configure different suction cups for practical application testing.
Vacuum Gauge Included
The included vacuum gauge allows the user to measure the actual vacuum level and confirm whether the selected suction cup is achieving an effective seal.
Test Real-World Products & Materials
Surface finish, porosity, product shape, flexibility, texture and packaging material can all affect vacuum gripping performance. The Vacuforce sample case makes it possible to physically test different cup designs against representative products before the final tooling configuration is selected.
Cardboard Boxes & Corrugated Products
Test cartons, corrugated board, boxes and other packaging materials where porosity and surface condition can affect vacuum performance.
Sheet Metal
Evaluate suction cups on sheet steel, fabricated metal components, smooth panels and other industrial workpieces.
Plastic Components
Test molded plastic parts, bottles, containers, totes, packaging and components with different surface profiles.
Textured & Irregular Surfaces
Compare suction cup performance on embossed, textured, curved and other challenging surfaces.
Food & Food Packaging
Test fruit, food containers, sealed packages, bags and other products where suitable food-contact suction cup materials may be required.
Round & Shaped Components
Evaluate gripping performance on round bar, cylindrical products and components that require more compliant suction cup designs.
Choose the Right Suction Cup Material
The correct suction cup material can be just as important as cup size and shape. The Vacuforce sample case allows users to compare different materials against the actual product being handled.
NBR
A versatile material commonly used for general industrial automation, machine building and material handling applications.
Silicone
A flexible material suitable for many applications requiring good compliance and reliable sealing.
FDA-Compliant Silicone
Available for suitable food, pharmaceutical and related applications where compliant suction cup material is required.
Conductive Silicone
Provides an option for applications where static-sensitive products or production environments require conductive cup material.
Measure Actual Vacuum Performance
The included vacuum gauge provides valuable information during application testing. A suction cup may appear to grip a product successfully while operating with a poor seal or insufficient vacuum reserve. Measuring the vacuum level helps establish whether the selected cup is operating effectively and provides additional confidence before the application moves into production.
Ideal for Machine Builders & Automation Integrators
For machine builders and automation integrators, the Vacuforce Suction Cup Sample Case provides a convenient engineering tool during application development and prototype testing.
- Test suction cups on the actual component being handled
- Compare different cup diameters and profiles
- Evaluate different suction cup materials
- Identify difficult or leaking surfaces
- Measure the actual vacuum level achieved
- Verify pick-and-place concepts before finalizing tooling
- Reduce uncertainty during end-of-arm tooling development
A Powerful Tool for Vacuforce Distributors
For Vacuforce distributors and industrial sales professionals, the sample case becomes a portable vacuum application laboratory. Rather than simply showing a customer a catalogue, the sales representative can take the case directly to the customer's facility and test the actual product.
Demonstrate the Solution
Show customers how different Vacuforce suction cups perform on their actual products.
Find the Right Cup
Compare sizes, profiles and materials to help identify the best configuration for the application.
Prove Performance
Use the included vacuum gauge to provide measurable application results rather than relying entirely on theoretical selection.
Portable & Ready for Customer Visits
The components are organized inside a rugged Vacuforce branded carrying case, making the kit easy to transport between customer facilities, production plants, machine shops and automation projects.
For distributor sales teams, the sample case provides a professional demonstration tool that can help turn an application discussion into a practical product test while standing directly beside the customer's machine or production line.
