Vacuum Controller 12VDC

PN0257 is a 12VDC controller that houses a vacuum pump (-450 mmHg, 3 L/min) and provides with 3 control valves for turning suction on and off of the connected vacuum port surface areas. 

Vacuum Hold

Center and outer ring vacuum ports hold down small devices and semiconductor wafers using suction from the Vacuum Pump.  Vacuum Control Valves control port suction to each port.  Clear high-temperature silicone tubing connects the pump, valves, and stage.

Applications
