Virtual Industries to Demonstrate Popular Handling Kits at SPIE Photonics West

Virtual Industries Inc., a leading supplier of manual vacuum handling solutions, announces that it will exhibit in Booth #2135 at the upcoming SPIE Photonics West exhibition, scheduled to take place February 10-12, 2015 at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Virtual Industries will demonstrate the Small Part Handling Kit for parts as small as 200 microns (TV1000-SP8-BD) and TWEEZER-VAC Optics Handling Kit (TV-1000-VRT-KIT8).

The Small Part Handling Kit for parts as small as 200 microns is a general purpose vacuum handling tool that plugs directly into 110 Volt (50/60 Hz). This compact unit will handle a wide variety of optics, ball lenses and SMT parts used in industry today. An optional tip handles parts as small as 0.004" (0.10mm) without damage. Vacuum tweezers eliminate 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 TWEEZER-VAC Optics Handling Kit (TV-1000-VRT-KIT8) comes with a selection of non-marking delrin tips that are ideal for handling a wide range of concave or convex lenses as well as ball lenses. Additional tips are available for handling larger and smaller optics. 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.
