Easy to follow graphical touch-screens provide total navigational control of the central vacuum system. The setup screen, for example, allows for the naming of loading stations, pumps, purge valves and material sources so you know exactly what is in each hopper and where it is located.

Manifold sharing capabilities allow the 24/128 to reduce the cost for tubing and purge valves and can stage and sequence six vacuum pumps per manifold line. The 24/128 can assign each loading station to any of the pumps connected to the same manifold. When a loader senses demand, the controller triggers the assigned pump to convey. If more than one loader on the manifold needs material simultaneously from different pumps, the controller’s manifold sharing function will then stage the pumps so that they can use the same manifold. The first pump will begin, and when its demand is filled, the next pump will be triggered. The result is a flexible system with minimal tubing and purge valves.

The touchscreen display provides an icon based platform for easy maintenance, operation and troubleshooting. Easy to read diagnostics, operation and installation instructions as well as spare parts information are all available from the touch screen.

Typical applications include medical diagnostics, industrial dosing systems, fuel cells, semiconductor processing, and wafer analysis, among others.

The FEM 1.02 pump achieves flow rates from 0.2 ml/min to 20 ml/min and FEM 1.09 pump from 0.9 ml/min to 90 ml/min. Both versions are small (62mm x 75mm x 63mm), cover a wide dosing range (1:100), operate oil-free with virtually no maintenance, and can serve reliably for more than 10,000 hours.

Among other features, these pumps are self-priming to 8.5 in.Hg, demonstrate consistency over time (1% repeatability), and exhibit excellent leak-tightness and chemical resistance. An innovative valve system minimizes head volume by ensuring that air cannot collect inside the pump head. Depending on pump version, head materials include polypropylene (PP) or PVDF and internal elastomeric components are manufactured from EPDM, FFPM, and PTFE. Pumps are both easy to operate and to adjust. Ports are available in UNF ¼-28 or compression fittings.

Modular pump design offers OEMs the versatility to choose from a wide variety of standard materials, voltages, frequencies, accessories, and options to satisfy application demands.

Anver VR Series Mini-Vacuum Pumps are powered by compressed air and employ the venturi principle to achieve a 26” Hg vacuum with only 0.74 to 1.27 SCFM air flow, depending upon size. Providing millisecond attach and release, the pump, suspension, and suction cup are one unit and can be positioned close to the load to minimize the potential for vacuum loss through tubing.

Constructed of aluminum and brass, Anver VR Series Mini-Vacuum Pumps can be supplied with a wide variety of suspensions and suction cups in different sizes and materials. Requiring only 72 psi supply pressure, they use standard compressed air logic, components, and fittings for easy integration into single item EOAT and manifolds for picking up multiple products.

The pump ideally suits portable, battery-operated equipment used in a wide range of OEM applications, including gas sampling, explosives detection devices, anesthesia systems, and medical analyzers, among others.

Among features, the pump’s elastomeric diaphragm promotes high efficiency and delivers oil-free operation without any risk of contaminating the sampled gas. Pumps can be specified either with an ironless core DC motor or with a brushless DC motor offering longer service life. PEEK housings and pump heads contribute high stiffness and temperature and chemical resistance.

Depending on model, these pumps can achieve flow rates to 2.1 l/m, vacuum to 650 mbar (11 in. Hg) absolute, and continuous pressure to 0.6 bar g (9 psig). All are engineered to perform maintenance-free with low power requirements and are supplied ready for installation to operate in any position.

Chemically resistant versions are available and pumps can otherwise be customized to meet particular application demands.

Designed for use across a range of applications such as hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pumps and compressors and in power generation, the switches provide a stable switching point setting.

The 400 series switch converts pneumatic and hydraulic pressure into switching functions and is designed for applications that require accuracy under high loads.

The switching point is fully adjustable through an adjustment knob with the adjustment range, and includes a locking mechanism.

AMS Calibration’s switch is SPDT, and can be normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) depending on the wiring.

The 400 Series Switch is fitted with DIN EN 175301-803 Form A connectors for fast and easy installation.

It is also available with an LED indicator on the plug for visual monitoring of the switch status, or an M12 x 1 (4-pin) electrical connection.

The switch features a repeatability of ±2% of full scale, 360° rotatable male connections, high loadability (shock 30g, vibration 10 g) and Hirschmann (DIN EN 175301-803 Form A) with optional 36″ cable.
