The process of defining an installation

All vacuum handling systems require a three-stage approach:

1. Defining the appropriate suction pads and fixings for the object to be gripped, the movements required, the type of object (air-tight or porous), the effort required, the cycling rate, the environment, etc.

2. Selecting the appropriate vacuum generator for the suction pads, the type of object (air-tight or porous), the required response times, etc.

3. Identifying the additional components required to connect, supply and control the installation.

The 3 steps to follow:

Step 1: the suction pads and their fixings

COVAL offers a wide range of suction pads, in three main groups: standard, specific and generic.

Tailored solutions can also be developed according to a set of specifications.

Step 2: Selecting the perfect vacuum source for the suction pad used guarantees optimal productivity.

COVAL has developed a complete range of venturi vacuum pumps using the most advanced technologies.

They offer a wide suction range, optimal output, low energy consumption, reduced weight and bulk, and silent operation. Numerous integrated functions mean that they are easier and more profitable to install and use.

Step 3: The auxiliary components

Peripheral components are an essential addition to the vacuum network and guarantee a reliable installation.

The risks related to improper use are increased energy consumption and noise and decreased overall efficiency.
