Schmalz SCPM compact ejector

The Schmalz SCPM compact ejector combines powerful suction with straightforward integration directly into the vacuum gripping system due to its slim, lightweight design.

With optimised power density and compact dimensions, the ejector can be used close to the suction cup. Up to 16 ejectors can be easily blocked to form a compact pneumatic unit with just one connection. This means that users can set up and individually control this number of vacuum circuits with one device, allowing different parts to be handled independently of one another with only one terminal.

Using different modules, three different versions can be created with just one main body. In addition to the basic version SCPMb, there is also a ‘c’ version — where ‘c’ stands for ‘controlled’. With additional features such as the automatic air-saving function and active blow-off, this version reduces compressed air consumption during handling by more than 80%.

The intelligent ‘i’ version of the SCPM also offers numerous functions for monitoring and controlling the entire production process. The SCPMi version is equipped with an IO-Link interface and NFC (near field communication) and transmits all relevant process data clearly to mobile devices and computers.
