Festo VADMI-200-P Vacuum Generator

Model Identifier VADMI-200-P
Official Part Number 162532
GTIN Standard 4052568131548

Technical Overview

The Festo VADMI-200-P (part number 162532) is a highly integrated, single-stage vacuum generator designed to operate on the Venturi principle. This pneumatic ejector features a 2mm Laval nozzle optimized for high vacuum generation and operates within a 2 to 8 bar pressure range. With its 22mm grid dimension, it offers a compact block design that integrates an electric ejector pulse valve, flow control, an on-off valve, a 40 µm filter with an inspection window, a check valve, and a piezoresistive vacuum switch with PNP, normally open (N/O) output. It incorporates a closed silencer to reduce exhaust noise, achieving efficient vacuum handling. Operating on 21.6 to 26.4 V DC, it utilizes G1/4 pneumatic and G3/8 vacuum ports, an M8 4-pin electrical connection, and offers IP65 protection, making it ideal for robust industrial automation.

Industrial Applications

1. Automated Pick-and-Place of Non-Porous Components

In high-speed robotic manipulation of electronic or automotive parts, securing the component quickly and releasing it without delay is critical. This device utilizes its 2mm Laval nozzle to generate high vacuum rapidly, securely gripping the parts [1.6].

Problem Solved

Prevents slow cycle times and sticking of parts upon release by utilizing the integrated electric ejector pulse valve, which forces the part off the suction cup instantly.

2. End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Vacuum Monitoring

Mounted directly on robotic arms, the generator creates and monitors the necessary vacuum for safe handling of heavy or critical workpieces. The 22mm grid dimension ensures it fits into compact EOAT configurations without adding excessive bulk.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of dropping workpieces due to pressure drops by using the integrated piezoresistive PNP vacuum switch, which sends a real-time threshold confirmation signal to the PLC before robot movement.

3. Dusty Environment Material Handling

Used in packaging or woodworking machinery where particulates are common, the vacuum generator continuously operates at 2 to 8 bar to grip cardboard, wood, or plastics.

Problem Solved

Prevents internal nozzle clogging and performance degradation in dirty environments through its integrated 40 µm filter, while the transparent inspection window allows maintenance teams to schedule cleanings.
