SimRedo (Ctrl+Y)plify End-of-Arm tooling devices woth Vaccon's dual purpose MBF Series Vacuum Cup Mount/Manifold Blocks. The MBF 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.

For design and plumbing flexibility, the MBF Series features five vacuum ports-- 4 female and one face mounted male. The Vacuum Cup Mount/Manifold Blocks easily connect vacuum pumps and cups to 5/16" (10mm) or 1/4" (6.5mm) T-slot extrusions. Extra vacuum ports allow optional accessories to be directly mounted to the manifold block i.e. vacuum gauges or remotely plumbed such as vacuum switches, sensors or blow-off capabilities. The MBF Series blocks are available in 4 models with 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4 NPT or 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4 G Port threads. 

Options:

• 3 Extrusion mounting options: standard, bottom or face mount
• 3 Models:1/4, 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4 NPT or G Port threads
• 3 Universal mounting brackets: fixed, adjustable or angled

Ideal Applications:

• Robotic End Effectors/End-of-Arm Tooling
• Removing products from molds
