Journal of Marine Science and Technology
In this paper, a novel hand-held pneumatic vacuum pad is developed using CFD-simulation. CFD is the abbreviation of Computational Fluid Dynamics, which is a powerful and reliable tool to provide an effective insight into the flow field numerically. Nowadays, application of pneumatic vacuum pads may be found in many different real industries, especially in the field of automatic conveyer system, automatic or manual assembly line, semiconductor industry as well as wafer factory, etc. Traditional vacuum pads are generally mounted on robots or other machines to form automated manufacturing systems. In this paper, however, a novel cylindrical vacuum pad specially designed …
