A
brand new vacuum leakage sensor that calibrates itself to maximum vacuum rather
than a preset level and provides an audio-visual alarm if a loss of vacuum
occurs is being introduced by ANVER Corp. of Hudson, Massachusetts.
The
ANVER VLS-08 Vacuum Leakage Sensor features a micro-controller chip that sets
itself to a vacuum system’s peak vacuum level, displays it on an LCD, and then
activates if a loss or leakage of 10% occurs; sounding a loud horn while
flashing a bright red LED warning light. Compensating for altitude and
atmospheric pressure, this solid-state vacuum leakage sensor is powered
independently from the host vacuum system by a 9V lithium battery.
If there is a vacuum loss, the ANVER VLS-08
Vacuum Leakage Sensor’s alarms will continue until sufficient increase in
vacuum is achieved. Standard features include a low battery “chirp” indicator,
1/4” push-connect vacuum fittings, and an open collector output which can be
connected to an I/O device, such as an emergency stop function on a CNC control.
Applications include any process involving a vacuum pump requiring consistent
vacuum. |
