VP20-MP / VP20BV-MP Mid Series Multi-port Venturi Vacuum Pump
Vaccon’s Multi-port vacuum pumps combine a venturi with a multiple port manifold to easily distribute vacuum to multiple locations. The result is a compact vacuum generation and distribution system for End-of-Arm Tools and applications where one pump powers multiple cups.
VP20-MP pumps have 4 vacuum ports that distribute vacuum equally to 4 locations with “Home-Run” plumbing. The streamlined design minimizes vacuum loss, maximizes vacuum flow and speeds cycle times for safe, efficient lifting operations.
A 1.5" diameter glycerin filled vacuum gauge and silencer are standard. Options include a miniature vacuum sensor/switch to provide an electrical signal for vacuum achieved/part present and to alert failures. An integrated solenoid valve for vacuum control is also available, with an optional M8 3-pin connection.
A separate port can be plumbed to a compressed air source to provide a blow-off. The manifold design allows one compressed air connection to feed blow-off air to all vacuum locations simultaneously, saving the need to plumb separate blow-off lines.
