COVAL’s MPXS Micro Vacuum Pump

COVAL’s MPXS micro vacuum pump: pilot-controlled, ultra-compact, ultra-high performance with communication capability! With the new MPXS series, COVAL offers one of the most compact intelligent vacuum pumps on the market, without compromising on the technologies that characterize the French brand. COVAL aims to provide manufacturers with an even more efficient tool for handling non-porous parts at high speeds on robots or automated systems. 

The MPXS micro vacuum pump stays true to the design principles of COVAL’s intelligent vacuum pumps, which are energy efficiency, high performance, and communications I/O. It adds ultra-compactness and thus concentrates all the qualities of COVAL’s intelligent vacuum pumps into a smaller physical space. 

Ultra-compact and lightweight for maximum efficiency

With a width reduced to just 12.5 mm and a weight of only 87 grams, the MPXS micro vacuum pump is the smallest vacuum pump ever designed by COVAL. This size means it can be installed as close as possible to the suction cups, inside restricted spaces, for reduced pick-up time with no loss of load, guaranteeing high speeds. 

Suction power

Thanks to single-stage Venturi technology, MPXS series micro vacuum pumps quickly reach a maximum vacuum of 85%, perfectly suited to dynamic applications requiring very short cycle times. The two power levels of 0.53 and 0.92 SCFM add to their versatility and enable them to adapt optimally to the needs of each application. 

Simplified communication

The MPXS micro vacuum pump provides the user with useful information at every stage of operation. Its Human Machine Interface (HMI) makes it easy to read operating, diagnostic, and maintenance information and enables rapid parameter setting. Additionally, the integrated IO-Link communication interface supports fast, cost-effective installation, continuous diagnostics, centralized parameter setting, and efficient communication with higher-level protocols (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT…). 

Substantial energy savings

MPXS micro vacuum pumps feature ASC (Air Saving Control) technology, which intelligently regulates vacuum generation, enabling energy savings of 90% on average by stopping air consumption once the desired vacuum level has been reached. 

Versatility

The modularity of the MPXS series offers a wide choice of configurations, ensuring great flexibility of installation and use to suit the varied needs of industrial applications. It is available as stand-alone modules, or in islands of up to 8 modules, with standard or powerful adjustable blower options. The MPXS series is precisely tailored to each application, for maximum efficiency. 

A wide range of applications

The MPXS micro vacuum pump’s small size, high performance, and wide range of functions and configurations make it ideal for industrial applications requiring high speeds. This includes high-speed pick-and-place, robot manipulators, and automated production, especially for use in the plastics, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries. 

Qualities that make the difference:

• Ultra-compact and lightweight 
• Efficiency as close as possible to the suction cups. 
• Continuous communication 
• HMI and IO-Link for perfect operations control 
• Energy efficiency 
• Energy savings of 90% on average, thanks to the new technology
