In the manufacture of small parts and micro-parts with a diameter of 0.2 - 8.0 mm, parts unloading using a conveyor belt or parts slide as provided on the machine tool may cause a loss of parts up to 30% inside the tool. Delicate parts may also be damaged.

To solve this problem, Mecha has developed the DepotVacuum. It enables a direct vacuum unloading of small parts or micro-parts from inside the machine with a vacuum hose and deposits them in the DepoMini containers. The vacuum is generated by a pneumatic vacuum unit and can be regulated depending on the suction strength required. A filter is fitted upstream of the vacuum generator to prevent a contamination, for example by metal shavings. This filter can be cleaned as needed and reused.

The DepotVacuum can be used with all DepotMini versions. Combined with a DepotMini, the DepotVacuum therefore also ensures a safely parts unloading of particularly fragile small parts or micro-parts and deposit them damage-free and traceable in a storage system. 

Example application:

For small parts and micro-parts with diameter of 0.2 - 8.0 mm.

Benefits:

• Safe parts unloading of particularly fragile small parts and micro-parts 
• Traceable and damage free parts storage when combined with a DepotMini
• Extraction hose length up to 1.5 m
