The use of vacuum valves in industrial vacuum systems is essential for many applications, including high-speed pick-and-place systems, vacuum forming, and vacuum holding. Selecting the correct valve is critical to achieving a reliable, efficient, and responsive system. 2-way and 3-way vacuum solenoid valves are commonly used to control vacuum. A 2-way valve is typically used to isolate and maintain vacuum within an application, while a 3-way valve switches the vacuum off and vents the system to atmosphere, allowing products to be released quickly and efficiently. Many valves currently used in vacuum systems are originally designed as pneumatic valves and then...
