The VPI has always had a vacuum pump, or motor, whatever you want to call it. There's one motor for the spindle and the other for the vacuum.
How did you think the VPI worked?
Follow Ups:
A vacuum pump is a sophisticated rather expensive device it operates nearly silently, VPI and all the other traditional commercial RCM's use fan based vacuums, entirely different technologies (which are about as silent as an F18 Hornet on afterburner at takeoff ;-)
No RCM with the possible exception of the Ultrasonic RCM's do nearly as good a job as the vacuum pump based RCM's such as the Loricraft or Monks.
I really don't care how they do it; pump, motor, fan, whatever. Vacuum is vacuum, it's negative pressure at a given value.
As far as Keith Monks goes, I would expect a machine that sells for over three times the price of the VPI 16.5 to do a better job. But from what I recall, didn't the original company declare insolvency?
The son is now running the business. They have a new redesigned model out.
Thread isolated suction tip like the Loricraft.
And yes, it has a vacuum pump system.
