Compact vacuum ejectors

May 10, 2011

Piab has launched its piCOMPACT10 range, a manifold-mounted and functional ejector system based on the energy-efficient MICRO COAX® technology. By working at low feed pressure and maximizing the utilization rate of the compressed air, the ejectors are designed to reduce energy consumption for manufacturers. Products in the range are suitable for pick-and-place operations where efficient handling of small, heavy parts is crucial. This need often is found in electronics, semiconductor, plastics, metal, and medical applications.

Using the company’s MICRO COAX cartridges, the ejectors provide three times more vacuum flow than similar products, says the company, adding that this reduces energy consumption by 30 to 50 percent. By offering an increased vacuum flow, the ejectors strengthen product grip to increase pickup speed, minimize product damage, and reduce waste. They also allow fast release of products from the suction cups onto the production line. Products in the range are small and light, reducing a vacuum-handling system’s total weight.

The vacuum ejectors are available in four versions to fit with a variety of systems, including those that require low feed pressure or extra-deep vacuum levels. In addition, they can be integrated into existing production lines with no modifications required and can be configured to meet individual manufacturing needs.
