Q1: What parts is PK2L best suited for?
A: Elongated metal parts such as automotive frames, pipes, and profiles; also other long, rigid, flat workpieces.
Q2: What are the key material/specs?
A: TPU, hardness 85A/S, −10 to 70 °C, semitransparent pink.
Q3: Can it handle oily metal surfaces?
A: Yes—TPU offers some anti-slip on light oil films. For heavier oil, upsize pads, increase vacuum flow, and tune motion profiles.
Q4: How does it compare with PK2 (flat round) or PK2B (bellows)?
A: PK2L is oval, optimized for elongated parts and placement; PK2 targets general flat rigid parts; PK2B adds bellows compliance for oily/inclined surfaces.
Q5: What sizes are available?
A: 60×20, 80×30, 100×40 mm (L×W).
Q6: Where is it typically used?
A: Automotive manufacturing, metal processing, and FA lines for long-part loading/transfer.
Q7: Any tips for high-speed handling?
A: Use multiple pads or larger sizes for long parts, and refine vacuum orifice and accel/decel profiles to limit lateral forces.
Q8: Will it fit existing grippers?
A: Usually yes—verify holder thread/interface, envelope, and vacuum capacity; pilot on-tool before full rollout.
