World of Vacuum Technology

The new catalog Vacuum Components 2012/2013 contains more than 3,500 products. Suction pads, vacuum generators, valves and switches for monitoring and controlling vacuum systems, and every other related component are presented in detail on more than 700 pages. The 13 chapters not only provide a detailed overview of Schmalz products, but also present an introduction to the basics of vacuum technology in a separate section.

For automated processes Schmalz offers single vacuum components but also complete gripping systems. Vacuum components range from suction pads, vacuum generations and mounting elements to special grippers, valves and switches. Herewith Schmalz offers all necessary components to design indivudiual vacuum systems to be used e.g. on robots.
Vacuum gripping systems are ready-to install solutions being used as end of arm toolings in robot applications. Large-area gripping systems and layer grippers are used for automated palletizing tasks, order picking and sorting workpieces. Suction spiders are mainly attached to industrial robots or used in presses or binding centers.

Manually operated vacuum handling systems simplify production processes by facilitating the handling of workpieces. With vacuum tube lifters loads up to 300 kg can be lifted. Thereby both, the gripping and lifting process are realized by using vacuum. Lifting devices handle workpieces weighing up to several tons. The gripping process is realized using vacuum, the load is lifting by a chain hoist.
This lifting equipment match perfectly to the aluminum crane systems and slewing cranes offered by Schmalz.
Thanks to the modular design, the vacuum tube lifters and lifting devices can be customized to individual applications.

Vacuum clamping systems offer short set-up times and make the all-round machining of workpieces possible in CNC machining centers as well as in manual processes. Using the Innospann series existing CNC machining centers can easily be modernized. The Schmalz Matrix-Plate is the solution for clamping metal or plastic parts precisely. The clamping system Multi-Clamp is ideal in the workshop and on construction sites.
