A Virtual Industries product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 4, 2009

Virtual Industries, a supplier of manual vacuum handling solutions, will display its Small Part Handling Kit at the SMTA Dallas Expo and Tech Forum.

The Small Part Handling Kit (TV1000-SP8-BD) is for parts as small as 250 microns.

This general-purpose vacuum handling tool plugs directly into 110V 50/60Hz.

The compact unit is claimed to be capable of handling a variety of optics, ball lenses and SMT parts.

The kit is said to be able to handle parts as small as 0.010in (0.25mm) without damage.

A vacuum tweezer eliminates lost parts associated with mechanical tweezer handling.

The long-life diaphragm vacuum pump generates up to 10in of mercury with an open air flow of 2.3lpm.

The unit connects to the ground automatically with a three-wire power cord.

Other features include: whisper-quiet operation; a push-button release vacuum pick-up handle; 5ft of coiled vacuum hose; rubber no-skid feet; and a side-mounted handle holder.

The handling kit also comes complete with a set of nine vacuum tips (#VCS-9-B) and a set of eight angled small parts tips (#VSPT-KIT-8-BD).

The exhibition is scheduled to take place on 3 March at the Richardson Civic Center in Dallas, Texas.
