The vacuum industry is rapidly evolving, and as a supplier of vacuum handling systems, vacuum handling companies concentrate the advantages of the industries involved, providing professional vacuum solutions tailored to different customer needs, from small components to complete vacuum systems. Currently, the main vacuum handling equipment includes vacuum suction cups, vacuum handling systems, and vacuum fixture systems, with key applications in packaging, metal sheets, automotive, chemical, and wood industries.

  Currentvacuum industry, technology is advancing rapidly, as a supplier of vacuum handling systems,vacuum handling companiesconcentrate the advantages of the industries involved, from small components to completevacuum systems, providing professional vacuum solutions according to different customer needs. Currently,vacuum handling equipmentmainly includesvacuum suction cups, vacuum handling systems andvacuum fixturessystems, focusing on applications in packaging, metal sheets, automotive, chemical, and wood industries.

  For example, in the wood industry, before the application ofvacuum systemsvacuum systems,the handling of wooden boardsrequired a lot of manpower, or used complex and expensive mechanical fixtures, making it difficult to handle wooden boards easily and safely.Throughthe vacuum fixture system, only a small part of the material needs to be sucked, making handling easy, even if the material surface is uneven or has holes, it can still be absorbed effortlessly. Compared to mechanical handling methods,vacuum adsorptionis much easier and simpler, less likely to damage the material, and the vacuum system is also less prone to failure than mechanical systems. 

The vacuum handling market has a promising outlook

  As China revises the Labor Law, the rights of workers will be increasingly valued, which is a good opportunity for the future development of the Chinese market. In the future, the demand for manual labor will gradually decrease, while the concept of ergonomics will gradually deepen, and vacuum handling will gradually replace manual handling.

  In many manufacturing enterprises today, many workpieces are large equipment, weighing hundreds of pounds or even tons. Using vacuum handling equipment can reduce manpower and avoid injuries to workers;At the same time, it can also reduce the likelihood of damaging objects to ensure product quality. In short, automation replacing manual labor will be an inevitable trend.

  Compared to the automation level in Europe, China still needs at least a dozen years to catch up, but through the joint efforts of the Chinese government and manufacturers, this process will be shortened5~10years. Compared to European companies, many industrial enterprises in China lack the strength to maintain long-term competitiveness.;In Europe, many century-old companies can thrive in the market mainly due to advancedenterprise management modelsand excellent product quality, which is also what Chinese companies need to learn. I believe that in the next2~3years, Chinese companies will face a reshuffling pattern, and the revision of the Labor Law and the successive shortages of various energy sources will further pose unprecedented challenges to Chinese companies.

Message to the Chinese market

  Currently, looking atthe development trend of vacuum handlingin the Chinese market, there are two issues: one is the lack of industry standards for vacuum handling systems.In Europe,some products pay great attention to safety and comply with European safety certifications, prioritizing safety. In the European market, only certified products can be introduced to the market, while the Chinese market still lacks certain standards in safety formulation, failing to achieve complete uniformity. Some domestic companies seriously neglect the harm caused to operators due to improper product design. The second issue is that China's protection of intellectual property rights needs to be strengthened, which is also one of the reasons why many excellent European products are hesitant to enter the Chinese market.

  If these two aspects are not given attention, the destructive power to the entire industry will be fatal. In this regard, the practices of foreign manufacturers in this area are worth learning for Chinese companies: a unified industry standard determined by industry associations, covering product quality, performance, safety, and other requirements, effectively regulating industry competition and creating a good industry atmosphere.
