E-Vac Pick And Place Device Replaces Cumbersome Tongs In Press Brake Operation
An electrical products manufacturer forms heavy gauge sheet metal parts for their motors. For safety, they used tongs to place and remove these parts into/from the press brake. The tongs, however, were cumbersome and wieldy, and caused operator fatigue in the day-long repetitive operation. The parts themselves ranged from 3-8" in diameter, and 0.5-1.5 pounds in mass. A Model 810002M In-Line E-Vac High Vacuum Generator (w/Straight Through Muffler) fitted with a Model 900753 1-1/2" (38mm) Round Small Vacuum Cup picked and placed all parts quickly and easily. They were able to customize their device with short pipe nipples, a 45° elbow, and a simple thumb trigger air gun to make it lightweight and ergonomic. This not only kept the operators' hands away from the press brake platen, but turned the tiresome two-handed tongs task into a one-handed, ergonomic evolution.

Model 810002M 2.3 SCFM E-Vac High Vacuum Generator with Straight Through Muffler (Non-Porous)These single stage, cylindrical units are compact and easy to mount at the point of use. High vacuum units up to 27" Hg (91 kPa) with vacuum flows up to 15.8 SCFM (447 SLPM) are typically used for non-porous materials such as glass, steel sheet and plastic. Optional silencing mufflers are available. The Standard Muffler has a closed end and is suitable for applications that are free of dust and debris. The Straight Through Muffler is recommended where particulates are present since it will not accumulate debris that can erode performance. Straight Through Mufflers offer the best sound level reduction (up to 26 dBA). Learn More$143.10
