SCTMi mini-compact terminal: A real lightweight
Short cycle times, low space requirements, simple installation - the requirements for vacuum technology are clearly defined. The new SCTMi mini-compact terminals from Schmalz meet the needs of operators and also offer a high degree of flexibility.
Schmalz has made its compact terminals even smaller and lighter. Compared to its big brother, the new SCTMi model saves around a third of the weight and only requires about half the footprint - making it ideal for use directly on the gripper or on a moving axis. Short evacuation times and low energy consumption allow flexible use in different types of machines.
The compact terminals control up to 16 separate vacuum circuits, with unoccupied slots closed off by dummy plugs. This scalability gives users great flexibility as their requirements change, as they can change or add ejector discs in minutes. The electrical and pneumatic control connections are on one level and ensure simple and fast assembly as well as uncomplicated expansion. Thanks to the modular principle, terminals with up to 16 separate vacuum circuits are possible. This reduces the integration effort from 2 days to only 4 hours. In the event of service, the specialists can access the device with the Schmalz ControlRoom app via the integrated NFC functionality and receive a useful description of errors and measures.
At the heart of the units are ejector discs based on the SCPM compact ejectors, which are available with nozzle sizes from 0.3 to 1.2 millimetres and operate very efficiently. They are particularly suitable for highly dynamic pick-and-place applications with extremely short cycle times.
The SCTMi mini-compact terminals will be available with IO-Link communication interface at the end of 2023.
