VP01BV Series Solenoid Controlled Modular Venturi Vacuum Generator
VP01BV Min Series generators are solenoid-controlled miniature venturi vacuum generators that generate vacuum only when needed, minimizing compressed air consumption. The integral solenoid valve provides instantaneous response for high speed assembly and pick & place applications.
Lightweight and compact, VP01BV generators are placed directly at the point of use to eliminate plumbing between components and to ensure high cycle rates for increased productivity. Dirt tolerant, vacuum filters are not required. Add a Vaccon ultra-miniature vacuum switch or sensor for a vacuum achieved/part present signal.
