An electric vacuum pump or ejector pump pumps out the air, which creates the desired, vacuum level. When a suction foot is placed (airtight) on an object, e.g. a cardboard box, the result is lower pressure.
The difference in pressure makes the tube contract vertically and the object is lifted. With more than 40,000 units currently in use, TAWI provide Vacuum Lifting equipment.
