Medfield, MA - Vaccon Company announced its entire line of modular venturi vacuum pumps and end-of-arm tooling components easily mount to 1" (25mm) and 1.5" (40mm) extrusions to create a complete "wrist-down" end-of-arm tool for pick and place medical applications. Vaccon's "M" model venturi pumps generate high vacuum flow, critical for overcoming leaks inherent in handling flexible/wrinkled materials such as transferring plastic bags of blood test tubes or bags of saline solution.

Using Vaccon EOAT components, designers can integrate vacuum pumps, cups, fittings, sensors, spring levelers, gages and universal brackets to extrusions with simple erector-set connectivity with minimal design time. Vaccon's modular venturi pumps are cost effective and offer maximum design flexibility. Designers choose only the options and features necessary for their specific tool saving time, money and weight.

Available in seven different models, Vaccon's modular venturi vacuum pumps range in size from 2.5" to 8.5" and offer three performance levels: "L" (0 to 10"Hg/339mbar) for low vacuum/high flow applications; "M" (0 to 20"Hg/677mbar) for medium vacuum/high flow applications or "H" (0 to 28"Hg/948mbar) for high vacuum/standard flow applications.
