Adjust-a-Vac vacuum tweezer is for handling very thin/delicate substrates, wafers, MEMS devices and other fragile components. Can adjust vacuum level from 1-10" of mercury. Integrated 10-segment bar graph display shows vacuum level present during operation. Bar graph shows minimum vacuum pressure until part is grasped, then displays vacuum level presented to the part being handled. Vacuum port integrates a user-replaceable inlet filter.
