Micro-Tec vacuum pick-up tools
Micro-Tec vacuum pick-up tools
Introduction
Vacuum pick-up tools are ideal for picking up lightweight and flat items without touching them by hand or with sharp tools. Delicate items or surfaces won't be scratched. Can be used for coverslips, Si substrates, quartz substrates, small componets, parts and samples.
The lifting capacity of the vacuum pick-up tools depends on:
- the vacuum generated in the vacuum pick-up tool
- the material surface
- thesize of the pick -up cup; see lifting capacity table.
The lifting capacity and lifting time both increases when surfaces are flat and smooth (polished). Vacuum pick-up pens will not work on porous surfaces. The components of the vacuum pick-up tools generally are a body to generate vacuum, interchangeable vacuum needle tips and vacuum cups which fit on the needles to increase lifting capacity.

# 52-001905 Micro-Tec ESD safe vacuum pick-up pen, swiss made
The swiss made Micro-Tec pen size, manually operated vacuum pick-up pen is easy to operate and doesn”t require power or batteries. Ideal for picking up coverslips, substrates, components, small parts and samples. It is fully ESD safe with a conductive metal body and ESD safe plastic parts. Included with the vacuum pick-up pen are two metal needles (one straigth and one angled at 45 degrees) and 3 ESD safe rubber vacuum cups. Tips are 1.3mm O.D. (18 gauge) and effectively 20mm long. Cup sizes are 4, 6 and 9mm diameter and are intended for use on the needles. High performance piston actuated pump ensures excellent vacuum performance. A small vial of vacuum grease is included to ensure long term optimum lifting capacity.
