The CEK is perfect for non-porous applications such as material handling or critical applications involving glass or sheet metal handling. The CEK single stage vacuum generator is similar to the MC72 with the addition of a vacuum memory valve. As long as there is compressed air, the valve will maintain vacuum "on" during an output power loss, such as an emergency stop. In addition to this valve, an air-economizing valve is included and provides air economizing savings. If the degree of vacuum decays, the integrated sensors will signal to the PLC to turn vacuum back on, the air economizing valve will turn off, and the unit will create a higher level of vacuum in the system. This cycle will repeat and thus conserve compressed air while holding the part. During loss of power, the air economizing valve will turn off and the vacuum memory valve will maintain the degree of vacuum. Other integrated components include valves for vacuum and blow-off functions, a blow-off flow regulating valve, a vacuum filter, as well as an exhaust silencer and vacuum check valve. Optional MPS-23 pressure sensors reduce cycle time and can be used for air economizing to conserve air during part transfer. Inline versions can be mounted in manifolds up to 5 stations.
