Picking and placing light, porous
objects
A vacuum pump and cup in one generates high vacuum flow ideal for picking up light, porous objects such as open celled foam, fabric, fibrous paper products, stencilled or screen PCBs.
The KV Vacuum Shop introduces the CDF Series Adjustable Air Amplifier, a vacuum pump and cup in one, that generates high vacuum flow ideal for picking up light, porous objects such as open celled foam, fabric, fibrous paper products, stencilled or screen printed circuit boards and more CDF air amplifiers operate on the "Coanda Effect" where a small volume of compressed air is converted into a large flow of ambient air (40:1 output to input), enabling it to overcome leakage inherent in picking up light, porous objects

Simplifying vacuum pump specs for assembly needs
Specifying vacuum pumps to lift a particular component in an assembly operation is something of a black art. This variable vacuum pump affords a practical solution to this problem.
Using the vacuum inlet in place of a vacuum cup, the CDF air amplifier is a low cost, high performance pump that operates without vacuum cups or air regulators.
Vacuum is instantaneous, air velocity and flow are field adjustable ensuring optimum performance and low operating expenses for each application.
Made of high quality aluminium, CDF air amplifiers are available in seven standard models with internal bores from 3mm to 50mm, and offer vacuum flows from 340 to 10,000nl/min.
