Vacuum Generator Series
■ Characteristics
●
Easy maintenance by a lock-on manual button.
● 2 vacuum sensor selections: LED display Type and
Mechanical Type which is simple and user-friendly.
● An LED display is used for LED digital pressure sensor to
enhance visibility.
● Two types of vacuum switch : 2 switch output, 1 switch
output with 1 analog output are available depending on the
desired application.
●
4 Standard nozzle bores are 05(ø0.5mm), 07(ø0.7mm),
10(ø10mm) and 12(ø1.2mm).
● Blow-Off Mechanism can be selectable from solenoid valve
type and air timer (air chamber) type. The built-in switching
valve realizes fine tuning of quick blow-off air and fine
adjustment of air rate.

①Filter
Dusts sucked up from a vacuum pad are filtered and blocked from
entering inside the vacuum generator.
②Blow-off air rate adjustment needle
Turning the release needle to right (clockwise direction) reduces blow-
off air and turning it to left (counterclockwise) increases blow-off air.
③Vacuum Filter
Dusts and water drops exhausted from the vacuum generator are filtered.
④Filter / Regulator
Select a filter and a regulator which ensure an adequate flow pressure
and rate of VK.
⑤Vacuum Sensor with LED display
Easy adjustment of vacuum level by the LED display. 2 types of output
are available; ①2 switch output and ②1 switch output with analog
output.
⑥Blow-off Solenoid Valve (R)
The solenoid valve functions to release a work-piece from a vacuum
pad.
(Blow-off air is generated during the electric power supply)
⑦Suction Solenoid Valve (S)
The solenoid valve generates vacuum.

■ Instructions for Specication order form
(1)In case of manifold installation top-mounting unit example 1) and 2) of ❷“Model code and number of
units of manifold installation top-mounting unit”, ⑤“Vacuum port”is “00”which indicates ports on sides,
but does not show the tube dia. of fittings. Tube dia. of the fitting should be designated by ❸“Specification
Order Form”. Therefore, there may be a difference in format style between the model code in ❷and ❸”
Specification order form”as to the Vacuum port space ⑤.
(2) Station numbers are arranged in serial order as St 1, St 2, …St 10 form the L side toward R side. To
confirm the positions of the L and R sides, see the Manifold Type reference picture below.
(3) If the manifold installation top-mounting units for St 1, St 2 and St 3 are of the same specifications as in
the above example of specification order form, fill up the “St 1”space (uppermost) only, while entering
St 1 in each of the St 2 and St 3 grids on the Config. (port pos.) column ①. (For example, if the manifold
installation top-mounting unit for St 6 happens to be the same model as that of St 1, enter “St 1”in St 6's
grid on the Config. (port pos.) column ①).
On the right-hand edge column are grids to enter the number of common units for respective St numbers.
Remember to fill in these grids as a verification of the number of common units per manifold.
With respect to solenoid valves, we have, in principle, unified working voltage.
Therefore, different working voltage can not be selected in one manifold order. However, we can provide
either N.O. or N.C. type if the two types are of the same working voltage, so it is possible to choose one as
with the case of solenoid valve type ⑧.

■ Characteristics
Supply pressure - Final vacuum, Suction Flow, Air Consumption
1. In the characteristics shown above, supply pressures refer to those when vacuum is generated.
2.In the characteristics shown above, an odd noise may be heard when supply pressures are immediately
before the peak of vacuum levels (H (High vacuum) type: 0.4~0.45MPa, and E (High-vacuum at low air
supply pressure type) type: 0.29~0.32MPa). The sounding of this odd noise means the characteristics are
unstable. If nothing is done, the sound may become even noisier. This situation can also adversely affect the
sensor, resulting in a malfunction or trouble. So reset the supply pressure.
(Ex. 1: When the vacuum generator H type is in operation with the original pressure of 0.5MPa, the odd
noise began to be heard due to a drop in supply pressure to 0.43MPa. Reset the supply pressure for the
vacuum generator in operation at 0.5MPa.)
3. Piping design and equipment selection should be made with an effective sectional area being 3 times as
large as the nozzle diameter as a standard. Satisfactory vacuum characteristics are not obtained unless
sufficient supply air flow is secured.(For example, the odd noise is heard even when pressure is at the set
value, suction flow is insufficient, the final vacuum does not satisfy the required level, etc.)
(Example2. There is the odd noise from the vacuum generator H type, though the supply pressure is
0.5MPa. →Insufficient supplied air rate is the cause. The supplied air rate is reduced before the vacuum
generator by a pipe resistance, and a proper air rate is not obtained. Select tubes and pneumatic
apparatuses with the target effective cross-section areas obtaining the necessary air flow rate.)
(Example3. When ø1.0mm of nozzle bore is selected, the effective cross-section size should be more than
2.35mm2.(cross-section 0.52xπ=0.785 mm2x3=2.35 mm2). Select tubes and pneumatic apparatuses with
the effective cross-section area more than 2.3 mm2.)

■ How to insert and disconnect
1. How to insert and disconnect tubes
①Tube insertion
Insert a tube into Push-In Fitting of the vacuum generator VK up to the tube
end. Lock-claws bite the tube to fix it and the elastic sleeve seals around
the tube. Refer to “2. Instructions for Tube Insertion”under “Common Safety
Instructions for Fittings”.
②Tube disconnection
The tube is disconnected by pushing release-ring to release Lock-claws.
Make sure to stop air supply before the tube disconnection.
2. How to fix the product
In order to fix the vacuum generator VK, tighten M3 threads
through the fixing holes on the resin body with tightening
torque 0.4 to 0.5Nm. Refer to the outer dimensional
drawings for the hole pitch.
