• mass to be lifted
• vacuum
• number of vacuum cups
• safety factor (never less than 2)
• coefficient of friction

Safety factor must be equal to or greater than 2.

In the case of horizontal suction the coefficient of friction is equal to 1 while where a rotation is needed the value must be changed in relation to the workpiece surface to be lifted, e.g.:

• 0.1 for lubrificated surfaces
• 0.2 ÷ 0.3 for wet surfaces
• 0.5 for wood, glass, metal and marble
• 0.6 for rough surfaces

The result may be seen as a recommendation for the vacuum cup selection: please contact our technical staff to evaluate the best solution for your needs.

Hall 6, stand E09 – F12.

Crackers are light and flaky baked goods. The fact is, however, that they are so thin and fragile that one must be extremely careful in order to avoid breaking them. In order to prevent such inconveniences with crackers and other light and flaky food products, their producers rely upon special handling techniques.

Vuototecnica offers BEC vacuum cups for non-contact gripping. Though designed for semiconductor plates, silicon disks, solar cells and foils and films made from precious metals, these units also have a wide range of potential applications in the food industry.

The vacuum cups are based on Bernoulli’s principle, the same theory that explains how an airplane’s wing produces lift. In fact, the “lift” effect that they generate even allows for light products to be lifted, with no need for contact to be made, and is used for a wide range of lifting and separating applications: including sheets of paper, cardboard and stacked laminations. The BEC are equipped with anti-static food-grade silicone rubber spacers in order prevent any lateral movements of the gripped object.

These special vacuum cups can also used for handling crumbly baked goods that produce light powders, such as crackers, thus preventing machine clogging and consequent production downtime.

Flawless handling, with no contact!

In order to ensure smart and clean packaging, Vuototecnica manufactures PVR1-4 cartridge vacuum generators. These units can be directly integrated into the blister packaging machinery, and are not subject to clogging due to dust and processing waste, thus preventing machine downtime, which can be burdensome in terms of both time and money.

Vuototecnica PVR generators have a maximum vacuum level of -70kPa and offer exceptional performance, even at low usage pressures (2-3 bar).

… “If you do the things you’ve always done, you’ll achieve what you’ve already achieved” ….

In my first speech on October 27^th 2011, I stressed how the company VUOTOTECNICA shows enormous potential and has everything that it takes to become a leader and a reference point in the industrial automation sector. The basis of this certainty, which I can confirm even more strongly today, are the priorities that have characterized my activities, upon which I have focused almost entirely: the sharing of the projects and the strategies with the entire organization, a new business strategy and a consequent new distribution policy and, ultimately, new methods of communication through a strong “brand policy” … I can confirm that, from October 2011 up until today, we have begun to lay down the guidelines for gradual and consistent changes in all of the areas indicated above: strategy, distribution and communication. Therefore, we’re not just talking about the usual four instruments of traditional marketing, but rather a more comprehensive approach. One that’s in line with the marketing strategies of the new millennium, namely: STRATEGY, ENGINEERING, PRODUCT, SALES, SERVICE AND MARKETING. But let’s summarize what we’re developing in a few simple concepts…

Strategies and guidelines: the customer only pays for what he/she perceives as value, and the two value generators are the product and the service; in light of this simple but fundamental truth, we have defined clear guidelines that represent the “backbone” of our new sales system. We are dedicated to developing long term relationships with our business Partners and end customers, thus ensuring credibility, experience, co-operation and innovation. This can be achieved thanks to a value chain that’s based on the distinction of Vuototecnica’s specific and specialized roles, as well as those of its distribution Partners.

Distribution policy: The implementation of this new strategy calls for a drastic change in the distribution structure. This new network is made up of a few select Partners, who are extremely loyal and are dedicated to our brand, our products and our solutions. A synergistic group of companies, specialized in the distribution of high-tech products, which are capable of offering exceptional customer service and logistics thanks to their well-structured organizations and wide-reaching networks of retailers. In short, a group of truly unique companies that serve as specific reference points within their relative areas of jurisdiction.

Product and technical training: the strong product-orientated approach that has characterized our company for over thirty years will always be charged with new ideas and with constant attention to the market’s needs… we will continue to innovate and to pioneer new concepts, in accordance with the undying “business sense” of the company’s founder, Mr. G.Bosi. And all this is complemented by a first-rate technical training program. Our new offices have been designed to provide ample spaces for classrooms, training showrooms, laboratories and test areas, where our partners and customers can develop their theoretical skills and test them through practical trials.

Visibility and Communication: the foundation that sustains the new strategic-sales program is the company’s primary focus upon the brand, as well as all of the components of the new “brand-policy”. We’re implementing the perfect blend of centralized and local activities, which will increasingly involve all of the sales points, as well as our website, with all of its related products (corporate blogs, intranets etc…). What’s more, we offer complete documentation that’s always available in five languages, as well as consistent and unified communication products and harmonized documents.

All this, and much more, will constitute the components of our daily work activities… our goal is to provide our customers with improved competitiveness, offering the peace of mind that only our first-rate support and service system can provide… We will do everything that it takes to make sure our customers no longer have to deal with automated vacuum technology problems… We look forward to seeing you at FLUID, where we’ll be happy to tell you more face-to-face.

See you soon! Andrea Carluccio

Automation through robots ensures the flexibility, productivity and and reliability necessary to the use in order to respond proactively to shorter life-cycles, new packaging designs and new product variations.

The three-gripper robots, real technological spiders, require gripping and vacuum generation technologies that can keep up to pace with the times.

Very small size, significantly reduced weight: these are the features which make the new Vuototecnica vacuum generator FVG (Fast Vacuum generator) with ejector, the preferred product for installation on flexible pickers.

Specifically designed for very high frequency picking and placement, it is made completely of anodized aluminium.

It is equipped with a system, which can be disabled by the customer, for generating a counter blow inside the suction cup at the moment the component to be handled is released.

Maximum output even at low supply pressure together with the ease of installation and its small size, make this generator an essential ally in robotised pick up and placement.

For nearly forty years Vuototecnica has manufactured products targeted at the packaging sector, offering updated and efficient solutions for all machines and all technical requirements. The new PVR 1-4 cartridge vacuum generators can be directly integrated on the suction pick-up parts of packaging machines. In addition they allow for the suctioning of dust and small processing residues that may result from the handling of bulk products. Without causing clogging.

Therefore they are ideal for machines including: cartoning, wrapping, and blistering machines and all machines which require high operation frequency without the burden of stopping the machine to clean suction filters.

The PVR 1-4 cartridge vacuum generators have a maximum output even at low working pressures (2-3 bar) with a maximum vacuum level of -70 KPa.

In all situations in which we use vacuum technology, the switch is of fundamental importance. Whether suction cups are used or not, to facilitate an easy exchange between the vacuum pump suction and the air intake into the circuit, solenoid valves which create vacuum and restore the atmospheric pressure to the desired level, according to applicative requirements are necessary. Ensuring quick and correct vacuum is not a simple task because response times are not always those we desire.

Today it is possible to optimise intervention times thanks to the new 3-way servo operated solenoid valves 2” and 3” GAS by Vuototecnica, to increase suction up to 600 cum/h.

No one like those working in the chamber vacuum packaging sector understands the importance of the concept of suction flow, which can only be ensured by real opening diameter of the vacuum solenoid valves.

Vuototecnica‘s 07 08 13 and 07 09 13 solenoid valves ensure real suction flow diameters of 50 and 80mm.

In addition to being extremely quick and efficient, they operate with a low consumption electric coil which allows for a significant savings in energy and simple PLC management.

For more info about the technical details of the new servo operated solenoid valves, consult www.vuototecnica.net; you will find all the new 2012 products in the “news” section.
