A vacuum manipulation device (1 ) comprising a tube (2) in communication with a vacuum generating system for gripping a component by suction at a gripper nozzle (3) of the tube itself and a mechanical release system (8) inserted at least partially inside the tube (2). The mechanical release system (8) is movable between a release position, in which a release portion thereof projects externally from the gripper nozzle (3), and a gripping position, in which the release portion (10a) returns into the tube (2). The mechanical release system (8) comprises a transverse extension (9) made up of a perforated disk and a needle (10) solidly joined to the perforated disk and having a diameter that is smaller than the internal diameter of the tube (2). The needle (10) is inserted at least partially inside the tube (2) and comprises the release portion.
