FAQ
Q1: What is the PK2 high-durability vacuum pad?
A: PK2 Series is CONVUM's high-durability flat vacuum pad line designed for press-formed parts and metal workpiece handling. It uses thermoplastic polyurethane material for wear resistance, curved-surface conformity, and oil resistance.
Q2: How is PK2 different from standard rubber vacuum pads?
A: PK2 uses thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer instead of standard rubber, offering higher wear resistance, higher mechanical strength, and better suitability for repeated handling conditions.
Q3: What workpieces is the PK2 vacuum pad suitable for?
A: This series is suitable for press-formed parts, metal sheets, and workpieces with oily surfaces or curved profiles, and it is commonly used in press and assembly processes.
Q4: Why is PK2 suitable for curved or formed workpieces?
A: PK2 offers good conformity to curved surfaces, allowing the lip to follow the workpiece shape more effectively for formed or contoured parts.
Q5: What sizes are available in the PK2 Series?
A: Flat PK2 sizes are available in Φ10, Φ15, Φ20, Φ25, Φ30, Φ40, Φ50, Φ60, Φ80, Φ100, Φ120, and Φ150, so the size can be selected based on workpiece dimensions and contact conditions.
Q6: What are the material and basic specifications of PK2?
A: The material is thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer with material symbol T, hardness A 85, semitransparent pink color, and an operating temperature range of -10 to 70°C.
Q7: What durability advantages does PK2 offer?
A: PK2 provides strong wear resistance, oil resistance, and ozone resistance, along with a lighter material profile, making it suitable for applications with higher abrasion demands.
Q8: What should be confirmed before selecting a PK2 vacuum pad?
A: It is recommended to confirm the workpiece size, surface shape, oil film condition, required pad diameter, and the compatible setting screw or mounting method so the pad matches the actual handling setup.
