unique technologies industry’s needs Accessories Vacuum switches All functions (control valve, pressure regulation, part presence detection thanks to vacuum switch) are integrated in a single compact and lightweight module. The vacuum generator can be placed closer to the suction cups thus reducing cycle times and limiting energy waste during handling. Regardless of the pressure supplied by the compressed air network (between 4.5 and 7 bar), the ASR automatically optimizes it at 3.5 bar and thus provides energy savings of 40% on average. Our ASR technology avoids the need for an added...
