Simplify End-of-Arm tooling devices woth Vaccon's dual purpose MB Series Vacuum Cup Mount/Manifold Blocks. The MB Series blocks primary uses are to mount vacuum cups to extrusions and distribute vacuum to multiple locations -- streamlining your design with one multi-functional component.

The MB Series features five female vacuum ports with three mounting options for design and plumbing flexibility -- easily connect vacuum pumps and cups to 5/16" (10mm) or 1/4" (6.5mm) T-slot extrusions. Multiple vacuum ports allow optional accessories to be directly mounted to the manifold block (i.e. vacuum gauges) or remotely plumbed items such as vacuum switches, sensors or blow-off capabilities. The MB Series blocks use 1/8" NPT or G 1/8 ports.

Options:

• 3 Mounting port options: standard, bottom or face mount
• 3 Universal brackets: fixed, adjustable or angled

Ideal Applications:

• Robotic End Effectors/End-of-Arm Tooling
