The Exair Modular E-Vac series vacuum generators are compressed air-powered vacuums suitable for lifting, ‘pick-and-place’, clamping, chucking and surface-mounting applications.
The vacuum pumps provide instantaneous response and are available in many sizes that offer a variety of vacuum levels and flow rates. They are maintenance free and have no moving parts to wear out.
The vacuums have an efficient, single-stage design that is claimed to minimise air consumption, provide increased cycle speeds and eliminate vacuum fluctuations. The lightweight, aluminium construction is compact and easy to install at the point of use making them suitable for lifting applications where fast attach and release times are needed. Mounting holes are provided.
They are available in two styles. Seven low-vacuum units up to 71 kPa generate more airflow to overcome porosity and leakage when used with porous materials such as cardboard. Seven high-vacuum units up to 91 kPa are suitable for non-porous materials such as glass, steel sheet and plastic.
Kit configurations that include vacuum cups, fittings, tubing and a mounting clip are available.
