Vacuum systems
Avoid production stops with vacuum solutions
An optimized vacuum system can lead to faster picking and depositing times, fewer production stops or faster switching times. Avac's portfolio includes several vacuum components to achieve these properties.
Bottlenecks and problem areas in production are sometimes difficult to identify if you don't know that they are affecting its efficiency. Often these are just small necessary improvements that may seem minimal in themselves, but make a significant difference.
One factor that is easily overlooked is that an optimized vacuum system can lead to faster pick and place times, resulting in a shorter overall cycle time. Safety and flexibility in the vacuum system can also lead to increased uptime, fewer production stops or faster switching times, for example by providing a warning signal for preventive maintenance before a production stop. Avac's portfolio includes several vacuum components to achieve these features.
The booster release ejector offers a fast response time for vacuum build-up as well as a patented seven times more efficient depositing of the workpiece. The transport process is fast and gentle.
The patented and award-winning multi-circuit ejector offers four to eight separate vacuum circuits that do not influence each other. This achieves a high level of system reliability, and a vacuum circuit with several suction cups can also be used for handling many different workpieces. All vacuum circuits are monitored by a common AMS vacuum sensor. The workpieces are deposited simultaneously in all circuits by a common blow-off signal. This system recognizes how many circuits are occupied with vacuum. Each individual vacuum circuit can be equipped with a separate vacuum holding valve. A common signal releases the workpieces from all vacuum circuits simultaneously
With the Autovac MFE ejector (Multi Function Ejector), it is possible to receive a warning signal if something does not correspond to the pre-programmed sequence, for example if a suction plate is worn out. The system recognizes the problem, the user receives a warning signal and can carry out preventive maintenance measures the next time production is stopped. as
