Build Your iVAC
Choosing an iVAC automated dust control system is easy!
For the DIYer and Mobile Tradesperson
If you’re a light hobbyist, weekend renovation warrior or a traveling trades person looking to improve your health, safety and convenience when working with power tools, we recommend the iVAC Dust Collector Switch Box. It’s designed specifically for applications where only 115Vac electrical outlets are available. It operates with most commercially available shop vacuums and power tools up to 6.5 peak HP. The attached power tool can literally be any type of 115V-15A power tool such as a light-duty table saw, miter saw or hand held tool.
Please note that the iVAC Dust Collector Switch Box is not a member of the iVAC Pro family and is
not compatible with any of the iVAC Pro System components.
For Workshops, Facilities and Schools
If you’re a serious hobbyist or woodworking professional with a stationary workshop, iVAC PRO will meet all your needs for automated dust control, regardless of the type of machinery you use. The key elements that make up an iVAC Pro system include:
iVAC Pro Switch – The heart of the system. Receives signals from iVAC Pro Tool interfaces and the iVAC Pro remote that instructs the dust collection system to turn on or off accordingly.
iVAC Pro MSC Advantage – Upgrade your dust collection system with the new iVAC Pro MSCA-RC-NA! Designed to work with almost any dust collector that already has a remote. This kit allows you to conveniently pair your dust collector’s remote with the iVAC Pro MSCA-RC-NA remote.
iVAC Pro Tool Plus – This sensor device clamps to your tools power cable and communicates wirelessly to an iVAC Automated Blast Gate and an iVAC Pro Switch.
iVAC Pro Tool Advantage – The iVAC Pro Tool Advantage has all the same great features as our original iVAC Pro Tool Plus. It also has the advantage of an external trigger feature, this is a 5V signal, perfect for integration with CNC microcontrollers, an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi or custom electronics.
iVAC Contactor – Along with the iVAC Pro Switch S11520-A-NA , this device allows you to connect higher power dust collectors. 120V, 4 HP; 230V, 7.5 HP and up to 25 HP with higher voltage three phase power.
Automated Blast Gates – Our automatic blast gates are triggered by an iVAC Pro Tool Plus, an iVAC Pro Tool Advantage, a. iVAC Pro Remote or a wired switch. They will open and close based on your tools power state to optimize dust collector performance.
The Finer Details – Workshops and Professionals
Generally, the only other items to consider when choosing iVAC automated dust collection equipment are the power requirements of your tools and dust collection system, and the number of tools you wish to control. Professional workshops and schools may have an abundance of equipment with unique power needs including higher amperage 115V electrical circuits, 230V circuits and 3-phase power. Thankfully, there’s an iVAC interface for every need.
