Used to warp the edges of sheet goods to promote separation from the next sheet in a stack. As vacuum is applied to the suction cup, the suction cup pulls the sheet against a crowned brass center post and warps it slightly to produce a small air passage under the sheet edge, which facilitates sheet separation.
One separator per corner is recommended, and, depending on the size and thickness of sheet material, more may be required. The degree of the warp can be adjusted by changing the projection distance of the center post from the cup cleats, or by increasing or decreasing the vacuum applied to the suction cup. A 150mm size cup produces a very large force and should only be used with thicker materials to prevent marking of the product. |
