PIAB Introduces the P3010 AVMâ„¢
New Compact and Modular Vacuum Pump with Built-in Control Functions for More Efficient and Reliable Handling of Objects
Hingham, MA, — PIAB Vacuum Products, a leading manufacturer of industrial vacuum products and components, introduces the P3010 AVMâ„¢. Based upon PIAB’s patented COAX® ejector technology, the P3010 AVM is a mini-sized compact, compressed air driven vacuum unit that boasts of multiple integrated control functions. PIAB’s P3010 AVM is ideal for highly automated manufacturing processes where robots are used in handling of metal sheets, boards and plastic items in a variety of industries.
PIAB’s P3010 AVM features two built-in vacuum switches for more efficient and reliable handling of objects. These vacuum switches are used to send a ready-signal when the object to be handled is gripped, and a signal to activate the energy-saving function. The P3010 AVM unit also has a valve for start/stop of the pump, plus a blow-off valve that makes it possible to release the objects much faster while also cleaning the vacuum pipe. The ON/OFF valve is offered in two versions: normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
The modular design of the P3010 AVM, which measures 4.0 x 0.7 x 6.3 in., allows for the installation of several units together and connection accessories. The P3010 AVM’s ejector housing is made of anodized aluminum, and the complete unit has a safety classification of IP65. The recommended feed pressure is 45 psi. The air consumption is quite low at 1.0-2.0 scfm (two sizes) at the recommended feed pressure, while the suctioned volume of air is up to three times larger (3.0-6.0 scfm). The P3010 AVM has a very reliable function throughout the range of 25 to 87 psi, which is a great advantage as fluctuations in existing compressed-air piping are quite common.
