The compact MPXS micro vacuum pump integrates the innovative features of COVAL’s vacuum pumps into a significantly reduced physical footprint. | Supply: COVAL
COVAL SAS, a specialist in designing, producing, and marketing vacuum components and solutions, introduces its latest innovation, the MPXS micro vacuum pump. The French-based company crafted a pioneering pump design that features pilot-controlled operation, an ultra-compact form factor, and advanced communication capabilities for seamless performance.
The newly introduced MPXS sequence from COVAL aims to provide manufacturers with a sustainable solution for processing non-porous materials at high speeds on robotics or automated systems. The device adheres to the design principles of Coval’s innovative vacuum pumps, characterized by their emphasis on energy efficiency, high performance, and seamless communication interfaces.
The company claims its MPXS is the most compact vacuum pump ever designed, measuring just 12.5 mm (0.4 in.) wide and weighing only 87 g (3 oz.). This measurement enables precise placement within close proximity to suction cups or in confined spaces, facilitating rapid pickup times without compromising load capacity, thereby ensuring exceptional speeds.
COVAL, an ISO 9001:2015-certified company, specializes in developing comprehensive vacuum processing solutions for various industries. The company serves customers across multiple industries, including those involved in fields such as packaging, automotive, food processing, plastics manufacturing, and aerospace. COVAL markets its services globally through a network of subsidiaries and a select group of approved distributors.
Extra particulars concerning the MPXS
Thanks to its proprietary single-stage Venturi technology, the MPXS series of micro vacuum pumps can quickly achieve a maximum vacuum level of 85%. Designed for high-performance applications that necessitate extremely rapid processing cycles.
COVAL highlighted two energy ranges – 0.53 and 0.92 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) – which significantly enhance the system’s flexibility, enabling it to seamlessly accommodate diverse software requirements.
The MPXS provides customers with informative support throughout its operational stages. COVAL equipped its system with a user-friendly human-machine interface (), streamlining access to comprehensive information on learning, diagnostics, and maintenance. This innovative tool also enables swift configuration of parameters.
The integrated IO-Hyperlink interface enables rapid, cost-efficient setup, reliable diagnostic capabilities, centralised parameter configuration, and environmentally friendly communication with high-level protocols like EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT.
MPXS micro vacuum pumps boast innovative air-saving management (ASC) technology. COVAL cleverly controls vacuum levels, achieving a remarkable 90% reduction in energy expenditure and eliminating unnecessary airflow once the desired pressure is reached.
The modular design of the MPXS sequence offers a wide range of configurations, providing exceptional flexibility during setup and usage. Here is the rewritten text:
The air purification systems are available as standalone modules or in clusters of up to eight units, accompanied by a range of customizable and high-performance fan options.
COVAL highlighted the MPXS micro vacuum pump’s compact dimensions, unparalleled efficiency, and extensive array of capabilities and configurations, rendering it an ideal solution for industrial applications demanding rapid speeds. Modern production lines are equipped with advanced technologies, including high-speed pick-and-place software, sophisticated robotic arm systems, and fully automated manufacturing processes. The solution is particularly useful for companies operating in the plastics, electronics, and pharmaceutical sectors, aligning with the corporation’s priorities.
