Generate the suction you need to power end-of-arm tools, such as vacuum cups and grippers, without using an installed vacuum system. These pumps, also known as venturi devices, connect to any compressed air source and come with all the electrical connections you need to start lifting or moving objects. They’re curved and have a foam mounting pad that fits collaborative robot arms. Use the hook-and-loop straps to secure them in place—close to your tools, but out of the way.

These pumps have a vacuum switch that uses analog and PNP digital feedback to send information about the pump’s vacuum level to your controller. The switch has an LED display that shows the vacuum setting and status. Push buttons on the pump let you set and change the vacuum setting. An integrated solenoid valve controls the air flow to your tools.

Vacuum pumps with a discharge tube have an additional integrated solenoid valve that creates a burst of air for removing parts that may not drop when the air flow stops, such as those with adhesive on them.

Vacuum pumps with M8 plug will work with FANUC CRX and Universal Robots models. They include a USB flash drive with software for Universal Robots, called URCap, that plugs into your teach pendant to program the pump.
