Advanced Design Features

Wrinkle Prevention Technology: The newly integrated flat attachment with 2.5-stage structure actively inhibits surface deformation and wrinkle formation on thin film workpieces during vacuum adsorption cycles.

Enhanced Sealing Performance: Thin film skirt design combined with specially contoured support ribs minimizes vacuum leakage and maintains superior sealing consistency on flexible substrates.

Reduced Sticking Risk: Strategically positioned support ribs prevent bellows adhesion during vacuum release, eliminating returning failures and protecting fragile workpiece surfaces.

Low-Impact Operation: Low-resilience bellows design minimizes dynamic stress transfer to sensitive components, extending workpiece integrity during transfer operations.

Application Benefits

Engineered specifically for flexible film packaging, plastic laminate transfer, and delicate composite handling, this vacuum pad excels in:

• High-speed packaging lines requiring rapid adsorption/release cycles
• Thin film material transfer without surface damage or contamination
• Food processing and pharmaceutical applications demanding FDA compliance
• Precision robotics integration with vertical vacuum inlet compatibility
• Multi-axis automation systems with adapter flexibility

Regulatory Compliance

The ZP3P-T20JT2SF-WM-BG01 meets stringent international standards including FDA food contact regulations (21CFR§177.2600) and Food Sanitation Act requirements, making it suitable for food, beverage, and medical device manufacturing environments.

Configuration Flexibility

This adapter-integrated design provides seamless integration with SMC pneumatic systems and third-party automation equipment. The standardized M5 x 0.8 vacuum inlet and threaded mounting interface ensure compatibility with existing manifold assemblies and vacuum distribution networks.

Quality Assurance

The distinctive blue pad coloration enables visual contamination detection during routine maintenance inspections, supporting preventive maintenance protocols and ensuring consistent pad performance across extended service life.
