2. Airlock Valve
If the incoming air supply volume is inadequate, the cable grip force could be reduced during the
vacuum cycle. The airlock valve is designed to improve the performance of the machine by
maintaining the grip pressure at all times (see Figure 6). It also allows the cable grip to be released, if
the guard door is opened and the red button on top of the airlock valve is depressed.
