Selected for the contact, temperature and movement
Define the visible surfaces and intended color
Develop holes, lips and walls around the mating parts
Match the attachment and installation method
A custom silicone suction cup should be selected for clean release as well as initial contact with the workpiece. Its footprint, body profile and mounting arrangement need to suit the intended handling sequence. Material and color can be developed for the application, with the finished compound matched to the surface and cleaning conditions.
Observe the placement stage of the cycle. The item should separate at the intended position without the cup dragging it as the equipment withdraws. Check the vacuum control and cup movement together so the contact is released in the way the system is designed to operate.
Assess pickup and travel with the same actual workpiece rather than assigning performance from a descriptive product label. During maintenance, examine the rim for damage caused by repeated sideways separation. Keep residue from altering the contact, and inspect the connection if the cup no longer sits squarely. A replacement should retain the working height and profile needed for both approach and release, not merely the same outside diameter.
Photos illustrate structure or material appearance only. The item should separate at the intended position without the cup dragging it as the equipment withdraws. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.
Identify key dimensions, mating surfaces and quantity
Agree the compound and manufacturing approach
Review the fit and agreed requirements in the assembly
Manufacture and check against the approved requirements
Identify temperature, contact fluids and repeated movement.
Consider hardness together with wall thickness and support.
Check access, mating dimensions and the fitting sequence.
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
