Series ZP2V vacuum saving valves

Developed initially for the semiconductor market, the Series ZP2V vacuum-saving valves are designed to shut down the suction line when any leakage is detected from the vacuum pad not being fully aligned with the work piece or when the work piece is missing.

By effectively stopping the air suction when the system recognises any irregularities, the energy used in making this vacuum is kept to a minimum and, without the need for a work piece detection mechanism - which often uses mechanical moving parts - unwanted surface scratches or marks on the work piece no longer occur.

Suitable for use as either a standalone single vacuum pad or for multiple vacuum pad applications where the work piece remains held by the rest of the operating pads, ZP2V users will save money and time by eliminating the need for expensive sensors or a programmable logic controller (PLC) plus dramatically reduced labour costs when altering the control circuit to accommodate a different-shaped work piece.
