With the Epick, we offer two types of suction cups, one 40mm and one 55mm. This article is to give you more specifications about these suction cups.
Due to the temporary unavailability of components from one of our suppliers, we would like to inform you that, as we previously done with the 40-mm suction cups, we have change the material of the 55-mm polyurethane suction cups that we provide with our vacuum grippers (EPick). More specifically, the 55-mm polyurethane suction cups (blue) will be replaced with 55-mm silicone suction cups (white) from the same supplier. Please note that the silicone suction cup contains a sealing ring (provided) that needs to be installed with the cup. We have tested both suction cups and found that performance is the same.
Section cup specifications are available on the Festo website:

We recommend trying the Robotiq suction cups for your applications; however, please keep in mind that we are not experts in suction cup technology. With numerous options available, it is essential to assess the suitability of our suction cups for your specific needs. If you find that the Robotiq suction cups do not meet your requirements, we suggest reaching out to specialized suppliers like Festo, who can provide a broader selection of suction cup solutions.
