Vacuum generators for lifting and handling
Available in the UK from Good Hand, EXAIR's new E-Vac is a series of low cost, compressed air powered vacuum generators for pick and place, clamping, lifting, chucking and surface mounting applications. These vacuum pumps are available in a variety of sizes and flows along with a selection of vacuum cups suitable for a wide range of applications.
E-Vac has been engineered for high efficiency to minimise air consumption and increase cycle speeds. EXAIR's in-line, single stage design provides consistent, steady vacuum without the fluctuations commonly experienced with mechanical vacuums.
Each unit is compact so it can be mounted close to the work surface for fast attach and release times when used with vacuum cups. E-Vac is maintenance free and has no moving parts to wear out. E-Vac is available in two styles. Low vacuum units up to 71kPa (21inHg) generate more airflow to overcome porosity and leakage when used with porous materials such as cardboard. High vacuum units up to 91kPa (27inHg) are ideal for non-porous materials such as glass, steel sheet and plastic. Kit configurations including vacuum cups, fittings, tubing and mounting clips are available.
