ZP2/ZPX Vacuum Cups
ZPX, ZPY and ZP2 series vacuum cups are ideal for heavy weight material or objects with a large surface area. The lateral vacuum entry available with or without buffer. The versatile design can be used for a wide number of applications. The variety of cup material and designs give great freedom to the designer when solving application problems. Using special materials in the cups such as conductive materials that help ensure static discharge further broaden their uses.
ZP2-XF*H, Heavy Duty Flat w/Rib, Ball Joint Pad w/Adapter, Lateral Vacuum Entry
This vacuum cup configuration handles heavy, flat workpieces that require high lifting capacity without surface deformation. The flat pad design with internal ribs provides exceptional rigidity under heavy loads, preventing the cup from collapsing or warping under deep vacuum pressure. The integrated ball joint pad and lateral adapter enables angular alignment flexibility, allowing the pad to seamlessly conform to slightly misaligned or tilted surfaces.
ZP2-XF*H, Heavy Duty Flat w/Rib, Ball Joint Pad w/Buffer, Lateral Vacuum Entry
This variant offers the heavy-duty lifting performance of a ribbed flat cup alongside built-in shock absorption. The integrated spring-loaded buffer cushions the initial contact impact when the suction cup meets the workpiece, protecting materials from mechanical shock during high-speed automation cycles. The design merges a shock-absorbing buffer, a flexible ball joint, and a space-saving lateral vacuum inlet into a single assembly, reducing engineering design time, cutting down on maintenance points, and ensuring smooth, long-term operation on heavy industrial transfer lines.
ZP2-XF*HB, Heavy Duty Bellows, Ball Joint Pad w/Adapter, Lateral Vacuum Entry
The heavy-duty bellows version (HB) with a ball joint and adapter is designed for uneven, curved, or stepped workpieces that require vertical stroke absorption. The bellows structure acts like a spring, compressing upon contact to create a secure seal even when heights vary across the target object. The ZP2-XF*HB incorporates a robust ball joint mechanism that prevents binding and accommodates angular deviations. Combined with the low-profile lateral vacuum entry, this product delivers superior shock mitigation, secure multi-plane alignment, and high-volume durability.
ZP2-XF*HB, Heavy Duty Bellows, Ball Joint Pad w/Buffer, Lateral Vacuum Entry
The ZP2-XF*HB bellows version is the ultimate choice for heavy, uneven objects that demand both maximum stroke-absorbing bellows flexibility and a built-in spring buffer. The combination of the bellows design and the external buffer stroke allows the system to absorb severe level differences and soften high-impact touches simultaneously. The integrated ball joint ensures that the heavy-duty bellows stays properly seated on angled surfaces, while the buffer handles shock dampening. It is a robust, all-in-one solution engineered for high-cycle, heavy-payload environments where equipment reliability translates directly to reduced downtime.
ZPY*H/HB, Heavy Duty Flat w/Rib or Bellows, w/o Buffer, Lateral Vacuum Entry
This streamlined configuration is selected for heavy-duty applications where vertical space is tightly restricted and a spring buffer is structurally unnecessary or undesirable. The lateral entry design keeps the vacuum tubing neatly routed to the side, preventing interference with adjacent machinery and lowering the overall center of gravity. It is a simple, cost-effectiveness solution for transferring heavy, flat, or structured parts in strict dimensional envelopes.
ZPX*H/HB, Heavy Duty Flat w/Rib or Bellows, w/Buffer, Lateral Vacuum Entry
The ZPX*H/HB is the go-to solution for general industrial material handling of heavy loads that require height compensation. It is frequently chosen by automation integrators who need a reliable, standard off-the-shelf component to handle heavy sheet metals, glass, or structured wood products. The inclusion of the buffer smooths out mechanical contact variances, making it a versatile, dependable choice for demanding manufacturing floors.
