Vacuum Table Pump and Valves for Sale

Vacuum tables provide a very important function in many industrial processes, holding substrates in place for precision work in critical applications.  When you need a vacuum table that you can rely on, you need superior flatness with powerful holding force, and the proper vacuum pump and valve for your application.

Regenerative Vacuum Pump

The Regenerative Vacuum Pump by Systematic Automation provides good holding power, but not quite as strong as the rotary vane pump.  This Regenerative Pump is often used during processes such as light CNC machining, photography, printing, and engraving and is not quite as strong of a vacuum hold as the Rotary Vane vacuum pump. 

Vacuum Valves

Vacuum valves exhausts the vacuum force in the table when in the off position.  Systematic Automation provides various vacuum valves depending on your process.  The standard vacuum valve is an on/off type fit for 1 3/8” inside diameter vacuum hose, requiring at least 80 PSI of compressed air to operate.

The Vacuum Valve with Blowback diverts the exhaust pressure from the pump as air.  Air flow is easily adjusted in flow rate and force by using an adjustment lever on located on the valve.  This valve is also 1 3/8” in hose diameter. 

The Adjustable Vacuum Force Intake Valve actually controls the amount of air allowed to enter the vacuum table.  Systematic Automation offers all of these vacuum valves with a Foot Pedal for activation. 

Systematic Automation has been manufacturing high performing vacuum chuck systems for more than thirty years.  We design, engineer, manufacture and install superior vacuum systems for virtually any application. 

Systematic Automation set the industry standard with maximum flatness in our vacuum chuck systems of +/-.001” per linear foot.  Our tables are available in a wide variety of sizes to accommodate virtually any vacuum table application.  Contact us today to learn more about our proven solutions with vacuum tables. 

360° Flame Treatment for Various Cylindrical Products

Flame treatment is performed on various products to alter the exterior surface for additional manufacturing or further applications to the product.  For example, flame treatment can assist with secondary processes such as screen printing onto items by altering the chemistry of the item’s exterior in such a way that inks and coatings are applied with better adhesion.  

Flame treatment machines are also used to remove flash from certain products.  Flash is plastic or metal that is left over from a molding process that should not be there.  An example of flash would be a plastic cup that has ‘strings’ hanging from the end or sides that is left over material from the molding process and should not be there, thus requiring removal.  Rather than have an employee manually cut off all flash you can expose your items to flame treatment and burn them off rapidly without jeopardizing the quality of your product. 

Flame treatment machines are also used to burn away contaminants on items with a quick and precise process. 

Systematic Automation Provides Versatile Flame Treatment Machine

Systematic Automation is a leader in automated equipment for screen printing, vacuum tables, UV curing systems and flame treatment systems.  Our Model FL flame treatment machine provides versatility like no other, with the ability to treat various products at the same time.  

The Model FL accommodates cylindrical products such as glasses, mugs, drinkware and plastic bottles. By combining our superior vacuum force onto rotating platens, you can treat products of varying sizes and shapes easily without making major adjustments to the machine.  Exposing the outer surface of your product to flame, then quickly rotating on a 360° platen for even exposure, the model FL delivers consistent flame treatment to the entire circumference of the product.  

Systematic Automation is a leading manufacturer of screen printing machines, vacuum tables and flame treatment machines.  We have over thirty years of experience designing, engineering, manufacturing and installing automated equipment to companies and OEMs around the globe.  Contact us today to learn how we can provide cost saving automation to your business. 

Benefits of UV Curing Used in Many Industries

There are many benefits that UV curing offers to several industries to improve product appearance and performance.  Ultraviolet radiation causes a photochemical reaction to various polymers and inks, and has been used to enhance several commercial and industrial processes since the 1980’s.  Modern UV Curing machines offer many advantages to companies and OEMs around the world with fast and efficient parts processing.  

UV Curing is Fast and Efficient

One of the biggest advantages of UV curing is the speed in which it cures the material, inks or adhesives during production processing.  UV Curing screen printing machines are revolutionizing the printing industry with quick drying of printed products resulting in fast and efficient production. 

High Quality Results with UV Curing

UV curing provides many advancements in the quality of printed products, and part finishing processes.  UV cured inks dry in seconds as opposed to solvent based inks that dry by forced air drying systems or evaporation.  Air drying can cause inconsistencies in the finished product due to the effects of evaporation, whereas UV Curing systems offer a consistently high-quality process.  UV inks often retain their vibrant color longer than solvent inks, providing long lasting, durable products.
