[Sep 2026] Solving Rough Surface Handling in Malaysian Manufacturing
Whether dealing with rough-sawn wood or checker plates, standard vacuum cups often suffer from air leakage.
The result? Dropped loads, unexpected vacuum pressure drops, and line stoppages that slow down overall factory output.
To solve this, SK-TEC is bringing the newly launched Schmalz FSGA-78-CF Bellows Suction Cup directly to local manufacturers across Malaysia.
You must be wondering: How it differs from standard suction cups?
The core technology behind the FSGA-78-CF comes from bionics, where the cup's sealing geometry is modeled after the Northern Clingfish, a species capable of clinging securely to wet, jagged underwater rocks. By translating this natural mechanism into industrial automation, Schmalz engineered an ultra-soft, flexible silicone sealing lip that instantly conforms to the micro-grooves and uneven valleys of rough workpieces.

Key Advantages:
- Leak-free Sealing on Textured Goods: The specialized sealing lip conforms directly to rough surfaces, reducing air leaks and maintaining constant vacuum holding force.
- High Structural Stability: While the contact lip is soft and flexible, the cup body remain rigid stability during high speed pick and place application.
- Direct Drop-In Retrofit: FSGA-78-CF can easily fit in your existing EOAT without requiring costly redesigns of your current vacuum grippers.
- Lower energy costs & downtime: Superior seal integrity reduces vacuum pump loads and lowers compressed air usage while preventing premature cup wear and unplanned downtime.
Suitable Industries:
- Woodworking & Furniture manufacturing
- Metalworking & Fabrication
- Building Products & Packaging
