A revolutionary pick and place system that uses direct air pressure or vacuum to pick-up
and place parts and components. Using shop air, the VA175 generates air or vacuum for
whatever application is necessary. Use as a blower for cleaning and cooling hot components or with the turn of a knob, use the suction to pick-up even the smallest of parts.
