Vacuum Technology

Automation with vacuum technology is key to achieving efficient industrial processes. Schmalz offers a comprehensive range of vacuum components and systems that can be successfully utilised across various industries and applications.

Vacuum Components

Schmalz's vacuum components are essential for building individual vacuum systems. The product range includes suction cups in various shapes, sizes, and materials to suit almost any application. Vacuum generation is achieved pneumatically with compact ejectors or electrically with powerful pumps and blowers. The range also features valves, vacuum switches, and other components for controlling and monitoring the vacuum system.

These components are characterised by their high quality, energy efficiency, and network-ability. They provide real-time digital energy and process data, making processes transparent and optimising performance. Schmalz also develops software solutions to fully exploit the potential for digitalisation in automation.

Vacuum Gripping Systems

Ready-to-connect vacuum gripping systems from Schmalz optimise the loading and unloading of machines, palletising, depalletising, and picking and packaging objects. Our customers benefit from our extensive experience and know-how as a system provider during project planning and design.

Vacuum Technology for Robotics

Robotics in industrial production requires precise and reliable grippers to pick up and move objects efficiently. Schmalz offers specialised solutions for both small and collaborative robots, ensuring they meet the stringent requirements of industrial applications.

Robotics Solutions

Schmalz's vacuum technology for robotics include standardised and configurable end effectors, gripper kits, vision and handling sets, and electrical and pneumatic vacuum generators. These solutions are compatible with all common lightweight robots and cobots, provided as ready-to-connect sets.

Equipped with communication interfaces for bidirectional data exchange, diagnostic functions, vision systems for gripper point detection, and ecosystems for automated gripper change, Schmalz's grippers ensure maximum precision, safety, and process control in the gripping process.

Vacuum Clamping Technology

Effective machining of workpieces requires secure clamping. Schmalz's vacuum clamping technology offers several advantages over traditional clamping methods, including fast, precise, damage-free, and low-distortion fixing, high holding force, and five-sided machining capabilities. These benefits extend to thin and elastic materials, making vacuum clamping versatile for various applications.

Clamping Technology Solutions

Schmalz provides vacuum clamping solutions for wood, glass, plastics, and metal machining. These solutions enhance machining accuracy and efficiency, ensuring reliable performance in diverse industrial environments.

Vacuum Lifters and Crane Systems

Ergonomics and health protection are critical considerations in industrial settings. Schmalz's vacuum lifters and crane systems are designed to make material handling processes as health-friendly and efficient as possible, minimising the physical strain on employees.

Vacuum Lifters

Schmalz offers vacuum tube lifters for dynamic goods transfer with high cycle frequency and chain hoist-based vacuum lifting devices for particularly heavy loads. Rope balancers provide sensitive and precise load positioning. These lifters are intuitive to operate and versatile, accommodating various industrial needs.
