Vacuum pumps for handling systems
Vacuum handling systems in industry must respond to very diverse requirements, gripping parts of different weight or material, integration on machines and robots or high-speed operation. The GVMAX HD series of vacuum pumps (photo) combine robustness, power, modularity and communication, allowing them to adapt to multiple applications. The IO-Link communication interface of the pumps makes installation fast and economical, supports continuous diagnostics, centralized parametrization and efficient communication with higher-level protocols, including Ethernet/IP, Profinet and EtherCAT. In addition, thanks to the NFC technology integrated in the GVMAX HD vacuum pumps, all parametrization and diagnostic functions are accessible and can be modified in the dedicated Vacuum Manager application (app) on an Android or IOS mobile device. — Coval Vacuum Technology Inc., Raleigh, N.C.
