OVERVIEW
Model VPP500 Vacuum Pick System
The VPP500 Vacuum Pickup System is designed for safely and efficiently picking up and
placing delicate lightweight components with ease. Unlike conventional tweezers, the use of
a rubber suction cup prevents possible accidental damage or contamination to the
component during the lifting and positioning process.
Its foot pedal operated electro-pneumatic design, minimizes air usage and eliminates
emitted noise when not in use.
Operation Mode
1.) The component is lifted by lightly placing the suction cup on the component.
2.) The foot pedal switch is then pressed and kept held down to apply the vacuum through the
suction cup.
3.) This then allows the component to be picked up and safely positioned.
4.) The foot pedal switch can then be released, which stops the vacuum allowing safe release
of the component.
Compliant for use in ESD safe environments
Simple set-up and operation
Foot pedal controlled
Adjustable vacuum control
Vacuum gauge allows the vacuum pressure to be precisely set and monitored.
Lightweight ergonomic pickup pen included
Compact & durable aluminum housing designed for industrial work environments.
Stand included for safe storage of vacuum pick-up pen when not in use.
A selection of ESD safe tips and vacuum cups included to ensure compatibility with differing
applications
Worldwide compatible power supply included.

General Precautions
Do not operate the machine in excess of its maximum ratings / settings.
Make sure that the input air supply is clean and dry. A 5 micron air filter/regulator
(item number 560567) is recommended to ensure the input air supply is clean
and dry.
Do not smoke or use near an open flame.
Do not expose the machine directly to sunlight.
Avoid cleaning the machine with aggressive solvents – neutral detergents are
preferred.
Place the vacuum pickup pen in the supplied holder when not using the machine.
This will prevent the suction cup from being damaged – refer to figure A below.

EXTERNAL CONTROLS
FIG. 2: External Controls – Front
1. Power Indicator
Light
Indicates if the machine is switched on or off. If the green color light is
on this confirms the machine power is on.
2. Vacuum Inlet Port The air connector on the vacuum pickup pen is connected here.
3. ESD Input
Connector
The electrical plug on the vacuum pickup pen is connected here.
This does not apply if using optional vacuum pickup pen (#580046NH).
4. Digital Display
Screen
Shows the amount of vacuum pressure being used to pick up a
component by the suction cup.
The vacuum pressure gauge will only display a value when the foot
pedal has been pressed and the machine has begun generating a
vacuum pressure.
5. Vacuum Control
Adjusts the amount of vacuum pressure being used, for the suction cup
to safely and securely pick up the component.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase the vacuum pressure to
the desired level.
Vacuum pressure will not be generated until the foot pedal has been
pressed.

MACHINE SET UP
FIG. 4: Machine Setup
1. Connect air hose (1) from compressed air 70-100 psi (5-7 bar) to the air inlet port on the
back of the machine. See FIG. 4.
2. Insert the Foot Pedal connector (2) to the port on the back of the machine. See FIG. 4.
3. Attach appropriate country type plug adapter onto the power supply and then connect
Electrical Power Cord (3) to the port on the back of the machine. See FIG. 4.
4.
Insert the air connector and ESD grounding plug (4) from the vacuum pickup pen to the
ports on the front of the machine. See FIG. 4.
If using optional vacuum pickup pen (#580046NH) only the air connector will need to be
attached to the port on the front of the machine.
5.
Insert the ESD grounding cable (5) into the port on the back of the machine. The other
end of the cable is to be connected to a suitable common ESD Safe grounding point
within the workplace environment. See FIG. 4.
If there is no requirement for the machine to be used in an ESD Safe work environment,
this step can be ignored.

VACUUM PICKUP PEN SETUP
FIG. 5: Vacuum Cup Attachment
1.
Select the correct size vacuum cup based on the size and weight of the component to be
picked up.
2.
Select the correct size pickup tip, by choosing one which has a larger outside diameter,
than the internal hole on the stem of the chosen vacuum cup.
3.
Gently push the stem of the vacuum cup onto the pickup tip. See FIG. 5.
Ensure that the pickup tip does not protrude into the “cup” area of the vacuum cup, as
this may result in damaging the component that is to be picked up.
A successful setup will be confirmed by a tight fit that does not deform the surface of the
vacuum cup.
4.
Insert the pickup tip assembly into the pickup pen, until pickup tip hub is fully secured. If
using a 45° pickup tip, rotate the tip to achieve the correct pickup angle position.
5. Store the pickup pen into the supplied holder, to prevent the vacuum cup from being
damaged when not in use.

OPERATION MODE
FIG. 6: Operation Mode
1.
Place the suction cup installed on the pick-up pen over the component and
apply a light force so there is no gap between the surface of the suction cup
and surface of the component.
2.
Press and hold down the foot pedal to start the machine generating a vacuum
pressure.
3.
Use the vacuum control knob to increase the vacuum pressure by slowly
turning it counterclockwise to a suitable level where there is enough force to
securely seal the suction cup to the component. See FIG. 6.
This step is only required when initially setting up the machine.
Excessive vacuum pressure may cause damage to small delicate
components. Always use minimum allowable vacuum pressure.
3.
The component can now be picked up and safely positioned in the desired
location.
4.
Release the foot pedal to immediately stop the machine generating a vacuum
pressure, and then remove the suction cup safely away from the component.

EXTERNAL MACHINE ACTUATION
FIG. 7: External Machine Actuation
Input A dry contact closure (0 Volt) between the Input (Pin #1) and Common (Pin #2)
pins will trigger a dispense signal. See FIG. 7.
PLEASE READ:
Do not apply a voltage between the input pin (1) and the common pin (2).
Doing so will damage the control board and void all warranty conditions.
