Products and Solutions

Solutions for automated processes

Schmalz offers a wide range of individual vacuum component products for automated processes: suction pads, special grippers, vacuum generators and switches. Vacuum systems can be assembled due to the wide range of products from Schmalz. These fit the requirements of the customer perfectly. Vacuum gripping systems from Schmalz complete the range of individual vacuum components. Gripping systems like large-area gripping systems, layer gripping systems and vacuum spiders are characterized by its modular construction. These gripping solutions are configured and planned by Schmalz and customers profit from the company’s extensive knowledge. The complete systems are ready for connection. Maximum flexibility is offered by these, when used in robotic applications.

Solutions for manual handling

Production processes can be simplified and enable easy and efficient handling of workpieces by vacuum handling systems that are operated manually. Ergonomic and health protecting working is enabled due to the load-bearing devices. These lighten the weight of the workpiece for the operator. The vacuum tube lifter Jumbo is especially suitable for quick lifting tasks. Safe and reliable lifting of loads, weighing several tons, is guaranteed by the vacuum lifting device VacuMaster. Schmalz offers crane systems and slewing cranes to complete the handling systems. These are especially convincing with its smoothness. Aluminum crane rails and the ability to cover large work areas make the cranes and slewing cranes the perfect partner for the lifting aids.

Clamping solutions

Vacuum clamping systems for CNC machining centers stand for short set-up times and efficient all-round machining of workpieces. clamping solutions for CNC machining centers whether they are being equipped for the first time or existing machines are being updated are offered by Schmalz. The ideal precision clamping technology for metal and plastic processing is created with the matrix plate. Precise and process-safe clamping of flat workpieces is a special feature of the matrix plate. A clamping solution for manual machining tasks is offered with the Multi-Clamp series from Schmalz. Using special suction cups, smaller and medium-sized workpieces can be machined on five sides without causing any damage. The clamping solutions are attached directly to the workbench or the machining table.
