Virtual Industries to Demonstrate Vacuum Handling Solutions at SMTAI 2011
Virtual Industries Inc., announces that it will display several advanced systems in Booth 214 at the upcoming SMTA International Conference & Exhibition, scheduled to take place October 18-19, 2011 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, TX.
The With the Small Part Handling Kit, parts as small as 0.05 (0.10 mm) are handled without damage. A vacuum tweezer eliminates lost parts associated with mechanical tweezer handling. The long-life diaphragm vacuum pump generates up to 10 of mercury with an open air flow of 2.3 lpm. The unit connects to ground automatically with a three-wire power cord.
The 110 Volt SMD-VAC-HP System (V8100A-SP8-BD-MAG1) runs on 12 VDC @ 500mA w/ solenoid. With a precision pump and motor that generates over 15 of mercury, this tool provides additional pick-up power for handling small to very large size components. The compact tower design takes up a small footprint on the bench. An electric eye pen holder on the side automatically shuts the unit off when the vacuum pen is placed in it. Additionally, a jack on the rear of the V8100A series allows the use of a foot switch to control vacuum during pick-and-place operations.
