Virtual Industries to Feature Leading Vacuum Handling Solutions at MD&M West 2011

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Virtual Industries Inc., a leading supplier of manual vacuum handling solutions, announces that it will display several advanced systems in Booth 1683 at the upcoming Medical Design & Manufacturing West conference and exposition, scheduled to take place February 8-10, 2011 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA.

The Deluxe Vacuum Tweezer Kit with 16 Delrin Small Part Tips (V8100A-FS-110-DLX-D) provides additional pick-up power for handling parts as small as 300 microns to extremely large sized components. The precision pump generates more than 15 inches of mercury. The compact tower design takes up a very 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. A jack on the rear of the V8100A series allows use of the optional foot or hand switch to control vacuum during pick-and-place operations.

The Mini Vacuum Pumps for OEM applications (VMP1621CN and VMP1625MX) can be used for applications requiring air flow, vacuum or air pressure. Typical applications include air quality sampling, organic vapor analyzers, equipment requiring a vacuum source, or equipment requiring a pressure source.

The mini vacuum pumps are small, but provide high performance with a motor life of up to 5,000 hours. The pump valves are made of durable stainless steel and the diaphragm is fabric reinforced viton. The pumps come with a 43 micron inlet filter and mounting clip.

Virtual's Vacuum Tweezer System (TV-1000) is for general parts handling. This compact unit handles a wide variety of parts used in the industry today. The long-life diaphragm vacuum pump generates up to 10 inches of mercury with an open air flow of 2.3 lpm.

The TV-1000 vacuum handling tool plugs directly into 110 Volt 50/60 Hz. The compact unit connects to ground automatically with a three-wire power cord. The vacuum tweezer system features whisper quiet operation and a set of nine vacuum tips (VCS-9-B).
