Vacuum suction cups can be found in many glaziers' toolboxes - and for good reason. They are one of the most important tools and they have the ability to make a glazier's job much easier.
In this guide we will discuss all about vacuum suction cups, what they are, their special uses and the uses they are most commonly used for. After reading this guide you will be fully aware of these useful and key tools, so keep reading to find out more.
A vacuum cup is a tool that is designed to suck, lift and manipulate heavy and other heavy or large materials, particularly glass.
These tools are widely used in the glass industry and are specialists in lifting glass and window panes for glazing and de-glazing work. The delicate nature of glass means that extra care must be taken when handling it so that it does not strike or scratch any other surface or object and cause injury or damage in any way.
Vacuum cups come in many forms, from hand-held devices to lift or machine-operated equipment. The machine-operated and hoist versions of these tools are mainly used for large objects and materials and are usually more commonly used for commercial glazing projects.
It is well known that vacuum suction cup materials are usually made of super-strong, flexible rubber. This flexibility allows the suction cups to be easily pushed onto a surface while being strong enough to achieve safe and reliable suction.
By pressing down hard on glass or other non-porous materials or objects, the suction cup will force negative air away from the suction cup, leaving a lasting suction you can rely on.
Some suction devices will have a lever or handle, or even a generator, to maintain a strong suction for even longer. This usually refers to more advanced or larger heavy duty equipment.
The pressure that builds up between the vacuum suction cup and the object in question is what causes the object to be lifted. Once the object (usually glass) is in place, it can be disconnected from the suction cup, thus allowing the object to be released.
The pressure inside the cup will always try to balance itself. This is why the rim of the cup must always be flat on the surface of the object. If the surface is not flat, the cup will lose its tight seal, which can cause great harm and damage to the glass, to yourself and to those around you.
