Vacuum pick-up tools


Vacuum pick-up tools are ideal for picking up flat, lightweight items without touching them by hand or with sharp tools – ensuring delicate items or surfaces will not be scratched. Vacuum pick-up tools can be used for coverslips, Si substrates, quartz substrates, small componets, parts and many other samples.
The lifting capacity of the vacuum pick-up tools depends on:
- Vacuum generated in the vacuum pick-up tool
- Nature of the material surface
- Size of the pick-up cup –Â see lifting capacity table below.
The lifting capacity and lifting time both increases when surfaces are flat and smooth (polished). Vacuum pick-up pens will not work on porous surfaces. Vacuum pick-up tools consist of a body to generate vacuum, interchangeable vacuum needle tips and vacuum cups which fit on the needles to increase lifting capacity.
Both of the Micro-Tec vacuum pick-up tools offered are ESD safe to avoid static discharge:
- Micro-Tec ESD safe mini vacuum pick-up tool with a bulb type vacuum pump
- Micro-Tec ESD safe vacuum pick-up pen with a high performance piston-type vacuum pump
