End of Arm Tooling and Vacuum End of Arm Tooling and Vacuum
Schmalz Inc. introduces a new series of high-performance ejectors for energy-saving vacuum generation. The compact basic ejector "Schmalz Base Pump" (SBP) weighs only a fraction of the weight of comparable ejectors and is the lightest in its class. The very compact inline ejector "Schmalz Line Pump" (SLP) weighs less than ¼ of an ounce, hardly more than the piece of hose it replaces, but has an enormous suction capacity.
The SBP - a vacuum generator with a single-stage nozzle - is available in six different nozzle diameters between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. The one-piece plastic housing is robust and impact-resistant and can be mounted either on its side with the aid of threaded mounting holes or with the aid of a base that can be mounted onto a DIN rail. The compressed air and vacuum can be connected quickly and easily via a push-in connection or with threaded couplings. The SBP is also available with integrated vacuum and blow off valves as well as vacuum switch for part presence monitoring.
The SLP vacuum generators have a single-stage nozzle and are available with a nozzle diameter of 0.5 or 0.7 millimeters. The push-in connectors permit rapid connection of a 4-mm hose directly in-line to the cup, no other connecting or mounting accessories are needed. Due to their slim design, with a diameter of only 10 mm, their low weight and their high performance, the SLP ejectors are particularly suitable for demanding applications in highly dynamic handling processes.
