Vacuum Pick-up Tool Kit, Non-Marking Suction Cups

The VTL-KT is a pen tool specifically made to pick and place optical components like lenses, filters, and mirrors. Its key advantage over similar pen tools is the special silicon suction cups will not mark or smudge the surface of the optic. Other similar tools use standard black rubber suction cups which leave an oily residue on anything they touch. To operate the pen tool, simply assemble the pen, probe and suction cup together, depress and hold the side panel on the pen, then release it after the suction cup is on the optic. The vacuum created but the pen allows the suction cup to grip the optic. To release the optic just press the side panel again. The VTL-KT contains one each of the following: 3/16, 3/8 and 1/2 inch diameter non-marking suction cups, an angled and a straight suction cup adaptor, and a suction pen. Each of these items can be purchased separately as needed. Additionally a 3/4 in. diameter suction cup (VTL-CP75) can be purchased heavier optics.
