Virtual Industries to exhibit at MDandM East

Products on display will include the small part handling kit (TV1000-SP8-BD) for parts as small as 250 microns.

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

The compact unit will handle a wide variety of optics, ball lenses and SMT parts.

Parts as small as 0.010in (0.25mm) can be handled without damage.

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 ground automatically with a three-wire power cord.

The company will also exhibit the Stealth-Vac Elite (VVSV-NC-KIT) vacuum pen, which operates directly on 30 to 50psi compressed air or nitrogen.

The normally closed Stealth-Vac Elite contains a quiet venturi vacuum generator that is activated only when the control button is depressed.

This helps conserve factory compressed air when the tool is not in use.

The vacuum level can be controlled by adjusting the input pressure.

The Stealth-Vac Elite kit is supplied with a set of nine vacuum tips (VCS-9-B), 6ft of 1/16in air hose, a 1/8in NPT to 1/16in barb adaptor for the supply line, the vacuum generating handle and a VMB-3 holder for the wand.

Also available from Virtual Industries is the Porta-Wand Elite (VPWE7000AR-MW8) with PEEK wafer tip VMWT-C handling up to 8in (200mm) wafers or solar cells.

The kit comes complete with a detachable 9.6V NiMH rechargeable battery pack, an in-stand charger (P/N VPW6000-CHRG) and one wafer tip.

The detachable battery pack (VPWE-150) contains the rear exhaust filter for the entire tool to ensure better than Class 1 performance.

The battery pack can be recharged when attached to the tool or when separated from the tool.

The Porta-Wand is suitable for handling wafers, solar cells, disk media, flat panels, or any item that has a flat, hard surface.

A power-on indicator flashes when the battery pack needs to be recharged or interchanged with a fully charged battery pack.

A push button provides on/off control with a lock to on position.

An intake air filter (VPW6000-FIL-5) is replaceable from the front of the tool.
