The Vacuum Generator VU is an inline-type ejector specifically designed for secondary battery manufacturing processes. It enables the conversion of compressed air into vacuum within a single line, eliminating the need for separate vacuum systems or additional piping. This makes it ideal for applications where workpieces must be picked up and transferred efficiently using vacuum pads, ensuring smooth, reliable operation in automated production lines.
The VU features PBT resin for its primary structural components, a material well-suited to general industrial environments due to its durability and resistance to wear. Key metal parts are constructed from brass with electroless nickel plating, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long-term performance under typical operating conditions. For applications exposed to more aggressive environments, the main metal components are made from special stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance equivalent to SUS303.
The Vacuum Generator VU connects directly via a single air line to convert compressed air into vacuum. It is designed to work seamlessly with vacuum pads for picking up and transferring workpieces. The unit features standardized threaded interfaces that allow for secure attachment to compatible systems, including metric male threads (M5x0.8, M6x1), taper male thread (R1/8), UNF male thread (10-32UNF), and NPT male thread (NPT1/8).
The VU operates with a fluid medium of air and is rated for an operating pressure range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa. The rated supply pressure varies by model type: 0.5 MPa for H and L types, and 0.35 MPa for the E type. It functions within an operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C, with no freezing allowed. The vacuum generation process relies on compressed air input through a single line, making it energy-efficient and space-saving in production setups.
The VU is available in multiple sizes and configurations: metric dimensions include φ4, φ6 | φ6, corresponding to inch sizes of φ5/32", φ1/4" | φ1/4". Variants are differentiated by their supply pressure ratings—H and L types operate at 0.5 MPa, while the E type operates at 0.35 MPa. All models are available in standard finishes with no color options specified.
The Vacuum Generator VU integrates directly into existing production systems through its threaded connection points. It supports installation using M5x0.8 or M6x1 metric male threads, R1/8 taper male thread, 10-32UNF UNF male thread, or NPT1/8 NPT male thread. These standardized interfaces ensure compatibility with a wide range of industrial equipment and allow for straightforward integration into automated battery manufacturing lines.
