COVAL is a French manufacturer specialising in industrial vacuum automation and vacuum handling technology for automated machinery and robotic applications. Its portfolio includes vacuum generators, suction cups, vacuum pumps, vacuum switches, gripping systems and accessories for fast, precise handling and positioning of components and materials. By combining pneumatics, modular engineering, energy-efficient control and intelligent monitoring, COVAL helps machine builders reduce compressed-air consumption and improve process reliability. Its solutions are deployed internationally across packaging, automotive, plastics, food processing, logistics, robotics, metalworking and general industrial automation.
20 years ago, COVAL first created SITON, an innovative, exclusive and patented silicone-free material Coval's SITON suction pads are characterized not only by their non-marking capability, but also by their abrasion resistance and remarkable mechanical performance at temperatures of up to 160°C.
In many industrial sectors where sheet metal handling is required, vacuum handling is increasingly used, and suction cups have become an essential element of safety, reliability, and productivity.
