Vacuum cup for pod-and-rail machining centers

The BVC vacuum cup from Better Vacuum Cups Inc. can be used on SCM/Morbidelli Accord and M series pod and rail machining centers. The BVC will mount on existing plates in minutes, the company says. BVC’s design enables operators to route into the vacuum cup without sacrificing the rubber top. Just fix it in 30 seconds, the company says. No more downtime with trashed vacuum cups. No more moving parts with BVC’s holding power, and the cups are longer lasting and a fraction of the cost, the company adds.
