Virtual Industries to Demonstrate Popular Handling Kits at SEMICON West 2013

 Virtual Industries Inc., a leading supplier of manual vacuum handling solutions, announces that it will display advanced systems for part handling in Booth #2227 in the South Hall at the 2013 SEMICON West exhibition & conference, scheduled to take place July 9-11, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

Demonstrated at the show, the Small Part Handling Kit for parts as small as 200 microns (TV1000-SP8-BD) is a general purpose vacuum handling tool that plugs directly into 110 Volt (50/60 Hz). This compact unit will handle a wide variety of optics, ball lenses and SMT parts used in industry today. An optional tip handles parts as small as 0.004" (0.10mm) without damage. Vacuum tweezers eliminate lost parts associated with mechanical tweezer handling. The long-life diaphragm vacuum pump generates up to 10" of mercury with an open air flow of 2.3 lpm. The unit connects to ground automatically with a three-wire power cord.

Also to be displayed, the new WV-9000 WAFER-VAC System plugs directly into 110 Volt 50/60 Hz. With the general purpose wafer vacuum handling tool, no in-house air-plumbing is required.  This compact unit will handle a wide variety of wafers, solar cells and other substrates. The long-life diaphragm vacuum pump generates up to 10" of mercury with an open air flow of 2.3 lpm. The unit connects to ground automatically with a three-wire power cord. The WV-9000 comes complete with a lighted on-/off switch, a push-button wafer tip pen VWP-500-2.5mm, and a 6 foot clear coiled vacuum hose (VCH-2.5mm-6). As an additional benefit, the WB-9000 is Class 100 Clean room safe.
