PELCO® Vacuum Pick-Up System with Pump

Handle and transport grids and wafers without the use of tweezers

Use this system for picking up delicate lightweight material with finger controlled vacuum. Attach various hollow needle tips (5 with system) or rubber cups (3 with system) onto the pick-up pen.

Vacuum Pick-Up System including pump, finger control pen, five interchangeable needle tips (12, 16, 18, 20 and 25 gauge), 3 each clear silicone rubber vacuum cups (0.25", 0.14" and 0.4"), in-line filter and hose. Needle tips length is 39mm (1.53").

Use easy finger control for picking up or releasing.

Not for wet or corrosive materials.

Comes with an on/off switch on top of cabinet.

Note: The Pen-Vac™ probes are interchangeable with the PELCO® Vacuum Pick-Up probes. 

The 520 PELCO® Vacuum Pick-Up System has a vacuum spec of 8" Hg. This equates to a suction force of 2.75g/mm2. Compensating for cup deformation and leakage, we have determined the practical lifting capacity for the cups and tips as:

Anodized Aluminum Body
ESD Safe Pen-Vac™ Vacuum Pick-Up Tool with 6 ESD Safe Probes and Cups

Brushed aluminum and clear anodized body; vacuum is generated by pressing and releasing the vacuum push bar. The sets include 6 probes and cups, two of each size cup (for cup diameters see ordering information), on one bent and one straight probe. The Buna-N cups are static dissipative and non-marking with a temperature range of -20°C to +120°C (-4° to +248°F). The cups also can be mounted directly to the tool. Recommended temperature operating range: +20 to +40° C (+68 to +104° F). 

ESD Safe Pen-VAC™ and cups avoid problems with static electricity and make picking up small parts easier. 

Comes with 6 vacuum probes that are 1/2" long (not counting base connector); three angled and three straight. Buna-N cups are two each of 3.2, 6.4 and 9.5mm (1/8", 1/4", 3/8").

All Cups Fit All Pen-Vacs™ and PELCO® Vacuum Pick-Up Systems.
