Special suction plates PZ and P2Z for OCTOPUS systems
Among all the suction plates described up to now, these are the ones which develop the greatest lifting force given the same gripping surface and level of vacuum. Moreover, the P2Z version is also able to grip very rough and uneven surfaces.
They are made with light alloys, equipped with calibrated holes and coated with special foam rubber with slot holes, with two different thicknesses. They are perfectly interchangeable with the standard suction plates.
Their lifting force has been calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface of the slot holes within the foam rubber and a safety factor 3.
