The Vacuum Generator VU (-S3 Spec.) 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 material handling in automated production environments.
The unit is constructed with PBT resin for its main structural components, a standard material well-suited to general industrial environments due to its durability and chemical resistance. Critical metal parts are made from brass with electroless nickel plating, offering excellent corrosion protection and wear resistance. For applications exposed to harsh conditions, the primary metal components are also manufactured from special stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance equivalent to SUS303, making it suitable for environments prone to moisture or corrosive agents.
The vacuum generator connects directly via a single air line to convert compressed air into vacuum. It features standard threaded interfaces including metric male threads (M5x0.8 and M6x1), a taper male thread (R1/8), and UNF male threads (10-32UNF) as well as NPT male thread (NPT1/8). These options allow for flexible integration with existing pneumatic systems and equipment, ensuring compatibility across different machinery setups.
The device operates using air as the fluid medium within a pressure range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa. It is rated for optimal performance at a supply pressure of 0.5 MPa (H, L type) or 0.35 MPa (E type). The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 60°C, with no freezing allowed. The unit generates vacuum through the use of compressed air, enabling efficient workpiece handling when paired with vacuum pads in automated transfer systems.
Available in two metric sizes: φ4 and φ6 (with a φ6 variant), and corresponding inch sizes of φ5/32" and φ1/4". The product is offered in standard configurations, with no color variants or additional finishes specified. Selection depends on the required flow capacity and integration space within the production line.
The vacuum generator supports direct installation into existing pneumatic systems through its threaded connection points. It can be integrated using M5x0.8 or M6x1 metric male threads, R1/8 taper thread, 10-32UNF UNF male thread, or NPT1/8 NPT male thread, allowing for secure and reliable attachment to process equipment or conveyance systems.
