Festo VADMI-140-LS-P Vacuum Generator

Model Identifier VADMI-140-LS-P
Official Part Number 171059
GTIN Standard 4052568013585

Technical Overview

The Festo 171059 VADMI-140-LS-P is an advanced single-stage vacuum generator operating on the Venturi principle. It features a 1.4 mm Laval nozzle and delivers high vacuum performance up to 85% with an operating pressure range of 2 to 8 bar. This compact unit integrates an intelligent air-saving circuit, a PNP vacuum switch output, and a closed silencer for reduced operational noise. Designed with a 22 mm grid dimension, it consolidates multiple functions into one device, including an electric ejector pulse valve, flow control, an electric on-off valve, an internal 40 µm filter, and a non-return check valve. Rated for IP65 protection, it comes equipped with a 4-pin M8x1 electrical connector, a G1/4 vacuum port, and a G1/8 pneumatic port, making it highly effective for automated pick-and-place and handling applications.

Industrial Applications

1. Robotic Pick-and-Place Handling

Utilizes the vacuum generator's 85% maximum vacuum and 1.4mm Laval nozzle to securely grip and transfer heavy or non-porous workpieces using suction cups.

Problem Solved

Ensures reliable, high-speed lifting without dropping parts, while the integrated electric ejector pulse valve allows for instantaneous workpiece release to maintain rapid cycle times.

2. Energy-Efficient Automated Packaging Systems

Integrates the vacuum generator into end-of-line packaging machines where continuous suction is required to hold cartons or packaging materials.

Problem Solved

Reduces compressed air consumption significantly through the built-in air-saving circuit and check valve, which shut off the air supply once the threshold vacuum is reached, lowering energy costs.

3. Automated Assembly and Testing Jigs

Employs the vacuum generator to temporarily clamp delicate components in place during precision assembly or automated inspection processes.

Problem Solved

The integrated PNP vacuum switch actively monitors vacuum levels, providing a reliable digital signal to the PLC to confirm the part is securely clamped before the machine initiates the assembly step.
