  • Page 41 Doc. No. ZQ-OM01301-A Countermeasures When the ejector adsorbs the workpiece by generating a vacuum, high speed air coming out of the nozzle collides into the diffuser I.D. and bounces back, generating vibration in the exhaust air. Because of this, the vacuum pressure fluctuates slightly and is not stabilized. The workpiece can be adsorbed when the ejector is used in this condition.
