Virtual Industries Inc. offers an ADJUST-A-VAC ESD Safe Kit with foot switch, which is the ideal solution for handling thin and delicate substrates, wafers, MEMS devices, and other fragile components.
The AV-6000-FS-SP8-BD-220 ADJUST-A-VAC ESD Safe Kit with Foot Switch features five vacuum tip holders on top of the tool, rubber no-skid feet and a side-mounted handle holder. This vacuum-tweezer is easy to operate, allowing the user to adjust the vacuum level from just below atmospheric pressure to up to 10" of mercury. The operator can see the vacuum level of the part being handled on the clear 10 segment bar graph display that is integrated into the device. The vacuum port also features a replaceable inlet filter that helps protect the tool from dust particles during operation.

The kit includes a coiled vacuum hose, push-button vacuum pen, foot switch with vacuum pen without control hole, vacuum cup kit, ESD-safe Delrin small parts tips, 16 position tip organizer or holder, and a three wire power cord.
