August 25, 2009 - A vacuum leakage sensor that calibrates itself to maximum vacuum rather than a preset level and provides an audio-visual alarm if a loss of vacuum occurs is being introduced by Anver of Hudson, Massachusetts.The Anver VLS-8 Vacuum Leakage Sensor features a micro-controller chip that sets itself to a vacuum system’s peak vacuum level, displays it on an LCD, and then activates if a loss or leakage of 10% occurs; sounding a loud horn while flashing a bright red LED warning light.
Compensating for altitude and atmospheric pressure, this solid-state vacuum leakage sensor is powered independent from the host vacuum system by a 9V lithium battery.If there is a vacuum loss, the Anver VLS-8 Vacuum Leakage Sensor’s alarms will continue until sufficient increase in vacuum is achieved. Standard features include a low battery “chirp” indicator, 1/4” push-connect vacuum fittings, and an open collector output which can be connected to an I/O device, such as an emergency stop function on a CNC control.
Applications include any process involving a vacuum pump requiring consistent vacuum.The Anver VLS-8 Vacuum Leakage Sensor sells for $295.00 (battery included) and is made in the U.S.A.
