Convum CVA-V/CVA-D/CVA-10 24vDC Vacuum switch w/ manual
This is a Convum CVA-series 24VDC vacuum switch with operator manual, providing a compact electronic vacuum pressure switch used in SMT and industrial automation equipment for non-contact vacuum level detection and monitoring in pneumatic and vacuum systems.
Key characteristics:
- Application: SMT pick-and-place machines and industrial automation equipment requiring vacuum level monitoring — commonly used as an OEM component in MyData/Mycronic and other SMT platforms
- Function: Provides electronic vacuum level detection and switching, monitoring vacuum pressure in the machine's pneumatic system and generating a digital output signal when vacuum level reaches or exceeds a set threshold; key functions include:
- Real-time vacuum level monitoring at nozzle or vacuum circuit locations
- Digital output switching when vacuum threshold is met — confirming successful component pickup
- Vacuum loss detection — triggering fault signals when vacuum drops below threshold indicating component drop or pickup failure
- Adjustable vacuum threshold setting for different component and nozzle requirements
- Manufacturer: Convum (Japanese pneumatic and vacuum component manufacturer — SMT industry OEM supplier)
- Model: CVA-V / CVA-D / CVA-10 — variant designations within the Convum CVA vacuum switch family indicating specific output type, vacuum range, or feature configuration
- Supply Voltage: 24V DC — consistent with standard SMT machine DC control power
- Type: Electronic vacuum pressure switch with digital output
- Includes: Operator manual for installation, setup, and threshold adjustment
- Category: Machine pneumatic / vacuum monitoring sensor component
- Wear Item: Electronic vacuum switches subject to sensor degradation and contact wear over time; regular inspection recommended
Signs of Vacuum Switch Degradation:
- False component pickup confirmations or missed pickup detections
- Inconsistent vacuum threshold switching
- Vacuum fault signals at incorrect vacuum levels
- Switch output signal faults in machine software
