At "Robot Technology Japan 2024" held in Nagoya, we showcased a demonstration of the FCX50, which has received positive feedback for its new product. We offer suction cups that are ideal for gripping fruits and pouches with uneven surfaces. The innovative multi-lip design of the fruit suction cup "FCX50" is perfect for handling fruits with diverse shapes and surfaces that are prone to leaks, making suction difficult. To ensure detection by metal detectors, a small amount of metal powder is added to the food-grade silicone during manufacturing. Here is the video (YouTube): https://youtu.be/45LptKDdTbM

Fruit picking requires flexibility. To ensure a reliable process, suction cups that can handle complex surfaces and various shapes are necessary. Piab's new metal detection-compatible product, the "FCX50," meets these conditions. It features a flexible bellows that adapts even when the center of gravity is off, and a multi-lip design that accommodates diverse surface adhesion. The innovative multi-lip design of the fruit suction cup FCX50 is ideal for handling fruits with difficult-to-adhere surfaces that are prone to leaks. The excellent adhesion performance of Piab's new fruit suction cup reduces air leakage, allowing for the use of smaller vacuum pumps, which contributes to energy savings. To ensure detection by metal detectors, a small amount of metal powder is added to food-grade silicone during manufacturing.
