Getting a grip on vacuum-handling systems: Here's a step-by-step process for designing a cost-effective vacuum system

摘要

Designing a complete vacuum-handling system involves many variables. These include the obvious, such as the size, weight, and type of material to be handled, how fast it must move, and the system operating pressure. Other factors are not so obvious, such as the type of vacuum cup that best suits the application as well as acceleration forces due to high-speed motion.
