It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our esteemed Honorary Chairman, Yoshiyuki Takada. Mr. Takada passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the hour of 4:00am, while under medical care.

Today, SMC CORPORATION is pleased to announce that we have signed the United Nations Global Compact Initiative – a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in the Earthquakes off the east coast of Taiwan on April 3, 2024, and our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the disaster.

SMC received the “Supplier Excellence Awards 2024” from Applied Materials, Inc. (herein after “AMAT”), one of the largest semiconductor and display equipment company.

The new SMC CRP series compact compressor allows design engineers to take advantage of an innovative product that allows the use of pneumatic components in areas without air source, making it perfect for use in mobile applications. Moreover, designers have the option of using the versatile CRP series as a compressor (positive pressure) or vacuum pump (negative pressure), simply by connecting the pipes in the corresponding way.

SMC is introducing the new EXW1 Series Compact Wireless System with an increased range of up to 100 m. Similar in technology to the current EX600-W, the EXW1 is smaller, lighter and fieldbus compatible, and with improved features that augment the current portfolio.

At 16:10 on January 1, 2024 (JST), a huge earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 struck the Noto region, northern part of Ishikawa Prefecture Japan.

SMC is once again demonstrating its innovation prowess with the company’s new JSY1000-E valve manifold with fully integrated ejector system. This optimal combination provides a complete solution for positive and negative (vacuum) pressure that allows users to control valves and ejectors in a single, simple manifold. Reducing both physical dimensions and weight, the JSY1000-E also has an energy function available that decreases energy consumption substantially and improves process efficiency.

SMC is introducing its innovative JSXF-P series of pulse valves for the effective and efficient dislodging of foreign matter during cleaning procedures. The new JSXF-P SMARTVENT type pulse valve offers a number of notable benefits, including a built-in control board, high peak pressure, low air consumption and long service life.

SMC is unveiling an innovative air flow controller that combines a flow sensor and electro-pneumatic regulator in a single product. The result for equipment designers and engineers is a space saving of up to 50%, significantly less piping and cables, and reduced installation time. In addition, the new IN502-44/45 allows the precise and reliable control of air flow rate as it is not dependant on piping conditions, pressure differential or temperature. The product benefits any application involving flow control, such as painting, packaging and welding systems across any industry, in particular automotive and food.

The new JSY3000-S is a bottom-ported manifold with stainless steel plate and FDA-compliant fittings that delivers extended operating life in food and beverage manufacturing environments. Part of SMC’s extensive directional control valve family, the new plug-in JSY3000-S is cabinet-mounted with a robust bottom seal and the piping connections facing outwards. This design configuration helps to protect the valve against both corrosion and splashes from water, ensuring its suitability for location near any type of equipment that requires wash-down procedures.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in the terrible Earthquakes occurred in the Kingdom of Morocco on September 8, 2023, and our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the disaster.

The new EQ series of slide-type and rod-type electric actuators from SMC feature a fully integrated controller, providing a simpler to set-up, easier-to-use, space-saving solution that simultaneously helps users to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. As a further advantage, EQ series electric actuators offer straightforward control with simple and exclusive software which helps users to start the actuators working via a single screen in just three steps. First, users choose ‘set operation mode’, before specifying the stopping positions and finally defining the speed, acceleration and deceleration values. It is no more complex than controlling a two- or three-position solenoid valve.

The new JSB series angle seat valve from SMC offers a number of key advantages to OEMs and end users alike, combining long service life, low pressure loss and compact dimensions with a high flow rate. Suitable for use with steam, water and air, optimisation of the JSB’s body flow profile ensures this space-saving valve can deliver the same flow rate as larger counterparts and, in turn, support system energy savings.

The specialist for pneumatic and electric automation SMC got the "Bosch Global Supplier Award" in the category "Indirect Purchasing and Services" for its top performance as a supplier.

All sectors across general manufacturing and automation can take advantage of the SMC ZHV air amplifier, a new product that offers high flow rates which are fully adjustable to suit specific customer requirements. This energy-efficient, compact and lightweight solution functions as either a blow-off or vacuum unit.
