Schmalz compact ejector series now with ECO nozzle technology
Schmalz is equipping its SCPS(i) compact ejector series with three-stage ECO nozzle technology for the first time, making the vacuum generators more efficient. The result is fast handling processes with suction-tight, air-permeable or non-inherently stable workpieces such as chipboard, cardboard packaging or bags. The optional IO-Link interface simplifies vacuum monitoring and use in automated systems.
The eco nozzle technology in the SCPS/SCPSi compact ejectors ensures a high pumping speed with minimized compressed air consumption. Schmalz is now offering ejectors with three-stage SEP modules for the first time: A three-stage nozzle with a maximum diameter of 22 millimeters can now be inserted into the new SCPS(i)-L series. This increases the application range of the ejector. The user can change the SEP nozzles quickly and without tools - and therefore also clean them easily. The vacuum specialist also offers the ejector module separately.
Manufacturers of packaging systems in particular benefit from the new compact ejectors. This is because the three installation diameters with different performance levels make the ejectors suitable for handling suction-tight, highly air-permeable workpieces such as cardboard boxes or chipboard or even workpieces that are not inherently stable such as bags. For suction-tight parts, Schmalz has reduced the evacuation time to reach 600 mbar - the time it takes for the automation to be released for movement - by up to ten percent. The SCPS(i)-L is used for vacuum supply and monitoring in automated systems, for example in robot handling, on linear axes and in pick & place applications with short cycle times. They are also predestined for dynamic gripping and fully automated parts handling. Device and process parameters can be transferred and output via the optional IO-Link interface. This is also possible in SIO mode (standard IO).
