iVac Automatic Dust Collection Systems for Woodworking Shops

Dust collection is most effective when it runs every time a tool does — and that is exactly what iVac automates. The iVac system uses sensor-driven switches that detect when a power tool starts and automatically activate your dust collector or shop vacuum, then shut it off when the tool stops. The result is consistent dust capture without the habit of manually flipping a second switch.

The iVac lineup covers shops of all sizes and configurations. Individual iVac Pro Switches handle a single tool-to-collector connection, while multi-piece packs like the 8-Piece Auto Dust Collection Pack with Contactor provide a complete automated system for a multi-machine shop in a single purchase.

Blast Gates, Switches & Complete Packs

Automated iVac Pro Blast Gates open and close in sync with your tools, directing suction to the active machine and reducing static pressure losses across the system. The iVac Contactor extends automated control to high-capacity dust collectors up to 10 horsepower. For complete shop setups, the 7-Piece and 5-Piece Auto Dust Collection Packs bundle the switches, blast gates, and contactor hardware needed to automate a full shop layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the iVac automatic dust collection system?

iVac is a line of sensor-driven switches and blast gates that detect when a power tool starts and automatically activate a connected dust collector or shop vacuum, ensuring consistent dust capture without manual intervention.

How does an iVac Pro Switch work?

An iVac Pro Switch monitors the power draw of your tool. When the tool turns on, the switch signals the dust collector to start. When the tool stops, the collector shuts off after a brief delay to clear residual dust from the hose.

What is the difference between the iVac Pro Switch and the iVac Contactor?

The iVac Pro Switch handles standard shop tool loads directly. The iVac Contactor is designed for high-capacity dust collectors up to 10 horsepower that require a separate power contactor to switch safely.

What is an automated blast gate and why is it useful?

An automated blast gate opens when its associated tool is in use and closes when the tool stops, directing suction to the active machine and reducing pressure losses in the rest of the duct system. The iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate integrates directly with the iVac switch system.

Is there an iVac kit that covers an entire shop?

Yes. Multi-piece packs like the 8-Piece Auto Dust Collection Pack with Contactor include switches, blast gates, and a contactor in a single bundle sized for a shop with multiple stationary machines.

Does iVac work with 240-volt shop tools?

Yes. The iVac Pro Switch 240VAC 20A is designed for 240-volt tools, allowing automation of table saws, planers, and other higher-voltage stationary machinery.

Can I control my dust collector remotely with iVac?

Yes. The iVac Pro Remote provides wireless on/off control of your dust collector, allowing you to start and stop the collector from anywhere in the shop without returning to the switch.

How do I plan an automated dust collection layout for my shop?

Start by identifying each stationary tool that needs dust collection, then match each to an iVac switch and blast gate. The Infinity Tools Learn blog covers dust collection system planning in detail.
