Multi-port Venturi Vacuum Pumps w/ Optional Solenoid Valve – Mid Series
Mid Series Multi-port
Venturi Vacuum Pumps
with Silencers
Ideal Applications:
VP20/VP20BV-MP • High performance – vacuum up to 28”Hg
[948mbar]
• End-of-Arm Tooling/Robotics
• Pick & place
• Flexible manufacturing
• Packaging – carton erecting, robotic palletizing
• Automation assembly
Features/Benefits:
• High production – fast cycle times with
shot to shot consistency
VP20-60M-MP with vacuum cup
assembly transfers wooden plug
spools for carpet roll application
• High flow – maintains strong holding force,
overcome leakage
• Home Run plumbing – saves compressed air
• Easy mounting – fractional and metric T-slot
compatible
• Time saving – pre-designed, factory assembled,
quick installation
• Safe operation – no electricity needed at pump
VP20BV-90H-MP with ST4 silencer
Vaccon’s Multi-port venturi vacuum pumps combine a venturi with
a manifold to distribute vacuum to multiple locations. The result is a
compact vacuum generation and distribution system for End-of-Arm Tools
and applications where one pump powers multiple cups.
VP20-MP pumps have 4 vacuum ports that distribute vacuum equally to
four locations with “Home-Run” plumbing. The streamlined design minimizes
vacuum loss, maximizes vacuum flow and speeds cycle times for safe,
efficient lifting operations. VP20BV-MP offers an optional integrated valve.
In addition to the 4 topside vacuum ports, there is a port fitted with a 1.5”
diameter glycerin filled vacuum gauge and another port that can be plumbed
to a compressed air source to provide a blow-off. The manifold design allows
one compressed air connection to feed blow-off air to all vacuum locations
simultaneously, saving the need to plumb a separate blow-off line.
An M5 threaded port allows you to connect a Vaccon miniature vacuum
sensor/switch to provide an electrical signal for vacuum achieved/part
present and to alert failures.
• Reliable – non-clogging, trouble-free operation
Performance Level Designations:
“L” 0-10”Hg [0 to 339mbar] for low vacuum/high flow applications
“M” 0-20”Hg [0 to 677mbar] for medium vacuum/high flow applications
“H” 0-28”Hg [0 to 948mbar] for high vacuum/standard flow applications
Pump Options:
• Interchangeable venturi cartridges – 11 different performance levels –
(VP10 & VP20 Series only)
• Silencers - ST4 (straight-through) silencers won’t clog, STAA4 silencers
for ultra quiet operation
• Integrated 2-way valve - 24 VDC, normally closed
• Miniature sensors or switches with quick disconnects
• G port threads for metric machines – an “I” prefix designates products
with metric threads
• Choice of operating pressures to meet machine and factory air supply
80 PSI [5.5 bar] standard (60 PSI [4.1 bar] option)
Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum
Principles of Operation:
Vacuum is produced instantly by supplying compressed air to
a Mid series venturi cartridge and is distributed to the vacuum
manifold ports, gauge port, switch/sensor port and the optional
blow-off port if required.
