Q1: How does PK2B differ from PK2?
A: PK2B is bellows-type with anti-slip texture for oily/sloped parts; PK2 is flat-type for long-life handling of rigid, flat parts.
Q2: Can it handle oily surfaces?
A: Yes. The surface texture helps prevent slip and stabilizes sealing; for heavier oil films, upsize the pad and tune vacuum flow and motion profiles.
Q3: What does the bellows design add?
A: Bellows compliance (stroke) provides extra travel and cushioning to absorb height errors and micro-movements, improving pick success on inclined/stepped areas.
Q4: What are the material/spec highlights?
A: TPU, hardness 85A/S, −10 to 70 °C, semitransparent pink—combining elasticity with high wear life.
Q5: What sizes are available?
A: ø10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150 mm—size by contact area, payload, and target cycle time.
Q6: Which industries/stations is it aimed at?
A: Primarily automotive (steel/panels), plus metal processing, panel logistics, and FA stations in lubricated environments.
Q7: Is it suitable for high-speed automation?
A: Yes—verify on-tool vacuum build/holding, and adjust orifice and motion to limit lateral forces and impacts.
Q8: Will it fit existing grippers?
A: Usually—confirm holder thread/interface, clearance, and vacuum capacity; pilot before mass deployment.
