SCHMALZ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SCHMALZ from 3G Electric.
What communication protocols are available on Schmalz SCPS-L/SCPSi-L series vacuum generators?
The Schmalz SCPS-L/SCPSi-L series compact vacuum generators support PNP, NPN, and IO-Link communication. This allows for flexible integration into various control systems, including those requiring digital signals or IO-Link for parameterization and diagnostics. The generators also feature a 1 NC valve function and a 1/4 in G female connection. With a vacuum flow of up to 323 lpm, they are suitable for automated material handling and pick-and-place applications where precise control and feedback are necessary.
What are the key specifications of the Schmalz SMPi MEGA PUMP series vacuum generators?
The Schmalz SMPi MEGA PUMP series vacuum generators provide a flow rate of 6.53 cfm. They come with 1/8 in G and 3/8 in G female ports, a 2.5 mm orifice, and a 5-pole M12 male electrical connection. The output type is PNP, and the valve type is 1 double pilot. These generators are designed for applications requiring higher vacuum flow and reliable performance in continuous industrial operation. The compact design and standardized connections facilitate installation and maintenance.
What materials and sizes are available for Schmalz multi-bellows vacuum pad assemblies?
Schmalz multi-bellows vacuum pad assemblies are available in NBR (nitrile rubber) with a 55 A durometer, in black. They feature 2.5 folds and come in various pad diameters, including 13 mm, 19 mm, 21 mm, 33.5 mm, and 55 mm. Connection options include M5, G1/8 in, and G1/4 in. Pad heights range from 26 mm to 52.7 mm. These pads are designed for handling delicate components in electronics manufacturing and automated pick-and-place systems, where the bellows design helps accommodate uneven surfaces.
How do I select the right Schmalz vacuum generator for my application?
Selection depends on required vacuum flow, available compressed air supply, connection sizes, and control interface. For lower flow needs, the SCPS-L/SCPSi-L series offers up to 323 lpm with 1/4 in G ports and IO-Link options. For higher flow, the SMPi MEGA PUMP series provides 6.53 cfm with 1/8 in and 3/8 in G ports. Consider the electrical connection (PNP, NPN, IO-Link, or M12) and valve function. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each model to assist in matching the generator to your system requirements.
What are the typical applications for Schmalz vacuum pad assemblies in electronics manufacturing?
Schmalz vacuum pad assemblies, particularly the multi-bellows types, are used in electronics manufacturing for handling delicate components such as printed circuit boards, small electronic parts, and sensitive assemblies. The 2.5-fold bellows design allows for gentle gripping and compensation for uneven surfaces. With NBR material and 55 A durometer, the pads provide a balance of flexibility and durability. They are commonly found in automated pick-and-place machines, assembly robots, and testing equipment where precise and damage-free handling is critical.
Does 3G Electric provide technical support for Schmalz vacuum products?
3G Electric supplies Schmalz vacuum components and provides access to technical specifications, part numbers, and product data to assist with selection and integration. While 3G Electric does not manufacture Schmalz products, it serves as a distributor and can help buyers identify the appropriate models based on flow rates, port sizes, materials, and communication protocols. For detailed engineering support, customers may also refer to Schmalz documentation. 3G Electric ships globally, ensuring that these components are available to a wide range of industrial customers.
