OVERVIEW
Model VPP50 Vacuum Pick System
The VPP50 Vacuum Pickup System is designed for safely and efficiently picking up and
placing delicate lightweight components with ease. Unlike conventional tweezers, the use of
a rubber suction cup prevents possible accidental damage or contamination to the
component during the lifting and positioning process.
Its simple pneumatic only control and easy to use finger actuated design; allows the system
to be used in workspace environments, where electrical supply is not available or not
permitted.
Operation Mode
1.) The component is lifted by lightly placing the suction cup on the component.
2.) The operator’s finger is then positioned over the hole on the finger grip of the vacuum pickup
pen and kept held down to apply the vacuum through the suction cup.
3.) This then allows the component to be picked up and safely positioned.
4.) The operator’s finger can then be removed from the hole on the finger grip, which stops the
vacuum, allowing safe release of the component.
