Reliable end effector for cobots

Collaborative robots are now widely used for a wide range of handling tasks. SMC offers three versions of the RMH pneumatic gripper for this purpose; it is compatible with cobots from a total of twelve companies.

Control without wiring

From tension control in coil winding machines and tension control in printing, film and cardboard processing machines to pressure filling in leak testers: electropneumatic regulators are the first choice if the air pressure is to be controlled continuously depending on electrical signals.

SMC becomes 100th ctrlX World Partner

SMC Germany is expanding the range of the ctrlX Automation modular automation system from Bosch Rexroth to include its pneumatic and electrical automation solutions. The 100th partner in the ctrlX World opens up new possibilities for users.

Energy-efficient industrial solutions for a sustainable future

Sustainability, energy efficiency and the reduction of_CO2 - these are currently the most discussed economic topics across all industries. Machine manufacturers and users are faced with the challenge of increasing the efficiency of their machines and systems in line with sustainable production in order to achieve lower energy consumption while maintaining or, at best, increasing the number of cycles.

Adaptable bell

SMC recommends the ZP3M series vacuum cup for handling delicate workpieces. Thanks to its diagonal inner ribs, which are arranged radially, it prevents slipping even with oily workpieces.

Easy setting solutions for automation

In no other trade fair month are the experts from SMC Germany more in demand than in November 2023: At a total of four trade fairs, the specialist for pneumatic and electrical automation technology will be presenting pioneering innovations for sectors including medical technology, the electronics and semiconductor industry, mechanical and plant engineering as well as smart and digital automation. SMC will be represented at SPS at stand 371 in hall 4.

Now also move larger workpieces

The requirements in terms of performance, design, accuracy and flexible application options were already met by the part-turn actuators of the MSQ series from SMC.

Hygienic packaging sells safely

In few industries are the requirements for hygiene in the production process as strict as in the food sector - the health of consumers has top priority. This results in enormous challenges for all machines and components involved, especially in pneumatics.

Cooperation between SMC and Yaskawa

Another chapter in the cooperation between Yaskawa and SMC: The new European Yaskawa Europe headquarters is also home to an academy with robots and cobots, to which various SMC solutions are exclusively connected.

LEF and LEY series with additional size

Solutions often need to be developed for tight spaces or compact machine designs. To meet such requirements even better, SMC has now added size 16 to its LEY series electric cylinders and LEF series electric spindle drives.

With integrated pressure and temperature sensors

The digital flow switch of the PF3A8#H series from SMC fulfills a wide range of requirements.

The cobot takes hold

Cobots are helpers that really get to work. Different grippers are required depending on the situation. This article shows what is important for the different gripper units on cobots.

High holding force and flexibility for cobot applications

The suction and transportation of ferromagnetic workpieces with uneven surfaces shows the limits of vacuum units on collaborative robots. In cases like these, magnetic grippers show their strengths and ensure a secure grip of the material in numerous industries.

With the LVM series, SMC already offers a wide range of compact and directly actuated 2/2 and 3/2-way solenoid valves and has now added a tube and two flange versions to the wide range of variants.

Compact and climate-friendly

With the INR-244-831 series, SMC offers a space-saving cooling and temperature control unit.

Simply well gripped

In final assembly, cars are given their cockpit, seats and other parts. They are fitted into the painted bodywork - often with the help of electric or pneumatic grippers that transport them and hold them in place until they are attached.

Sensor completely out of the injection molding cell

Requirements for injection molded parts tend to be high, especially when they are further processed as components in electronic assemblies. This applies to quality aspects as well as costs. The demands on the manufacturing processes are correspondingly high.

Measuring the flow of liquids

If the flow of media such as water or water-soluble coolants is to be measured, electromagnetic flow switches are used.

Man and machine together

Humans and machines must not get in each other's way when working together - for example during fully automatic welding. Occupational health and safety have top priority. At the same time, collaboration should be as smooth and productive as possible.

Cooling and temperature control unit for outdoor use

Cooling and temperature control units are designed to cool or control the temperature of sensitive instruments and production steps - but they themselves generate waste heat that is distributed throughout the building. With the robust cooling and temperature control units from the HRS200 series, SMC presents a solution for this.

Suction cups for film packaging

SMC has developed the ZP3P-JT vacuum cup with bellows for the gentle pick-up and transportation of film-wrapped goods. It adapts to the variable shape of soft films thanks to a sealing sleeve.

SMC magnetic gripper offers more holding force

Vacuum applications reach their limits when transporting ferromagnetic workpieces with irregular surfaces. The new magnetic grippers from SMC offer increased holding force without deforming the material.

Secure hold in the process

With the new ISO locking cylinder of the CP96N and C96N series, SMC offers a solution for greater process reliability, even in tight installation spaces.

Cooperation between SMC, Dell and Software AG for the development of Smart Field Analytics
