Virtual Industries to Exhibit Small Part Handling Tools at SEMICON West
June 11, 2018 | Virtual Industries Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Virtual Industries Inc. will be demonstrating its ADJUST-A-VAC ESD Safe Kit and STEALTH-WAND ELITE Kit at SEMICON West, scheduled to take place July 10-12, 2018 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Virtual Industries in Booth 924.
The ADJUST-A-VAC ESD Safe Kit allows the operator to adjust the vacuum level from just below atmospheric pressure to up to ten inches of mercury, depending on the fragility of the part being handled. The vacuum tweezer system was developed as a result of customer concerns about manual handling of very thin/delicate substrates, wafers, MEMS devices and other very fragile components. An integrated ten segment bar-graph-display shows the vacuum level present during handling operations.
The STEALTH-WAND ELITE Kit operates directly on 30 to 50 psi compressed air or nitrogen. The normally closed Stealth-Vac Elite vacuum pen contains a whisper quiet venturi vacuum generator that is activated only when the control button is depressed. This helps conserve factory compressed air when the tool is not in use.
