The VDM Series is a compact all-in-one output device and digital pneumatic gauge, reducing the number of components in your system. The VDM Series vacuum switches offer either 2 switched outputs or 1 switched output and 1 analog output which allows monitoring the high and low limits for vacuum control and system conditions. The analog output allows software control over the entire vacuum and pressure range (up to 29.9" Hg / 1015 mbar) along with being able to track vacuum/pressure changes in real time. Used in pick and place and robotic material handling applications, the first switch can be used for parts presence allowing the robot or tooling can move, and the second switch to monitor and signal when the working vacuum level is achieved. The switches are highly flexible due to selectable output functions such as switching point hysteresis and window comparator.

The VDM Series' multi-colored, multi-section display provides a visual indication of system vacuum level and set-points. The set-point display changes color when set-point #1 is reached -- toggling back and forth using a single push button allows two set-points to be monitored. The display also indicates when either set-point is reached and an output is activated. The VDM inclues a M8, 4-pin female Quick Disconnect lead with 6" pigtail.
