The VP8X and VP8X-ADJ Fastbreak air-powered venturi vacuumpumps are ideal for accurate part pick and place with rapid release. The reliable Max Series pump offers vacuum and blow-off in a single unit, using only one compressed air line, with no electricity required.

The integrated pneumatic high speed blow-off on the VP8X pump provides a fixed duration blow-off at line pressure for rapid part release. The VP2X-ADJ model offers adjustable control of the blow-off intensity using a fingertip adjustment knob. A customer supplied directional control valve, with exhaust, is required for operation.

An optional solenoid valve is available for vacuum control. The solenoid valve features an optional durable 3-pin male M8 connector for easy, quick, and reliable installation.
