The Small Part Handling Kit (TV1000-SP8-BD-MAG1) is for parts as small as 100 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 0.05" (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 SMD-VAC™-HP 110 Volt System (V8100A-SP8-BD-MAG1) runs on 12 VDC with a precision pump and motor that generates over 15" of mercury; the tool provides additional pick-up power for handling small to very large sized components.
The system's 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. As an added feature, the jack on the rear of the V8100A series allows the use of a foot switch to control the 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.
