Virtual Industries to Showcase Leading Vacuum Handling Solutions at SPIE Photonics West 2011

The Small Part Handling Kit (TV1000-SP8-BD-MAG1) is for parts as small as 250 µm. This general-purpose vacuum handling tool plugs directly into 110 V 50/60 Hz. The compact unit will handle a variety of optics, ball lenses and SMT parts used in the industry today. The kit includes a set of rubber tipped vacuum tips as well as a set of eight small parts tips. Also included, is a 2.5X lighted magnifier that runs on three AAA batteries (included).

Parts as small as 0.010 (0.25 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 PAC-VAC Vacuum Tool Kit with Nine Tips (V3200) is battery operated and self-contained. The kit runs for up to eight hours continuously on one 9 V alkaline battery. The versatile unit can be clipped to a belt or pocket for one-handed portable operation. The PAC-VAC is constructed with ESD-safe materials and a power on LED indicator.

The BULB-VAC with Anti-Wobble Cone and 3/4 ESD Vacuum Cup (BVJ-075-AW-ESD) is designed for enhanced functionality when handling INTEL LGA CPU products. The tool improves placement accuracy when picking processor chips from a shipping tray and placing into precision sockets. The BULB-VAC features an anti-wobble stiffener cone and a 3/4 diameter ESD-safe conductive rubber silicone vacuum cup.
