A wide range of vacuum components in SMC's products portfolio
Our SMC Norge catalogue offers a wide selection of vacuum products designed to enhance system efficiency, save energy, and provide exceptional performance.
Vacuum pads
The first step in any vacuum system project is to understand your workpiece. SMC provides a wide range of
vacuum suction pads to meet various needs, including flat, bellows, oval, nozzle, sponge, and non-contact types.
Vacuum ejectors
Whether you need to mount ejectors on moving robots, conserve air while generating vacuum, or remotely monitor your ejectors, SMC has the ideal vacuum ejector solution for you.
Ranging from basic to advanced options, SMC offers energy-efficient solutions with fieldbus communication and valve manifold control, designed to meet your specific needs.
Vacuum filters
Airborne contaminants can greatly affect the performance of vacuum equipment. Our vacuum filters effectively remove 90% of harmful particles, such as water droplets and dust, prolonging the lifespan of components.
Our vacuum filters help extend your component lifespan and reduce your maintenance costs.
Vacuum switches
To optimise your vacuum system's performance, accurate
digital vacuum sensors are indispensable. Different vacuum sensor types are required for various applications to measure pressure, flow, or vacuum levels. At SMC, we offer a diverse selection of vacuum switches and sensors to enhance the performance of your vacuum system, designed to your precise requirements.
Electronic vacuum regulators
SMC's
electronic vacuum regulators provide precise and efficient control of air/vacuum pressure. On top of occupying minimal space, our lightweight, space-saving pressure regulators offer remote network connectivity for configuration and data acquisition.
Vacuum gripper for cobots
Industry demands automation solutions that are adaptable, easily integrated, and quick to deploy. Collaborative robots, or cobots, paired with our vacuum gripper system, fulfil these requirements. Our
vacuum gripper for cobots, enabling them to handle a wide range of tasks with precision and efficiency.
Vacuum saving valve
Our vacuum saving valve simplifies workpiece changes without interrupting operations. It maintains stable vacuum pressure, even when the vacuum pad is unoccupied, leading to energy savings and cost reduction. This solution offers a straightforward and intuitive approach to process optimisation.
Which industries can benefit from SMC vacuum products?
SMC's vacuum products provide reliable and efficient solutions for a wide range of industries. Some key sectors that utilize our vacuum components include:
Optimising your industrial vacuum system configuration?
Our vacuum experts, drawing on years of experience and technical knowledge, present a
four-step approach to maximizing the efficiency of your industrial vacuum system:
Reduce the operating pressure to 4 bars
It is important to note that while many manufacturers still operate on a standard 7-bar shop pressure, optimal vacuum performance is typically achieved at around 4 bar.
Adopting a 4-bar factory approach can lead to both environmental and financial benefits without compromising efficiency.
Choose a larger suction cup diameter
Instead of increasing feed pressure, consider using a larger suction cup diameter.
High energy-efficient pneumatic vacuum ejectors
These pneumatic vacuum ejectors can reduce energy consumption by up to 90%.
Smart vacuum system management
At SMC, we offers intelligent solutions for precise control and communication, facilitating the implementation of predictive maintenance and condition-based maintenance (CBM) strategies.
How to optimise your vacuum system for peak performance?
Understanding the factors that influence vacuum system performance is crucial for efficient configuration and application-specific optimisation. Key considerations include:
- Workpiece weight and shape
- Surface finish of the workpiece
- Desired cycle time and path
- Required vacuum level, size, and quantity of suction cups
