The Air Management System automatically regulates and isolates the compressed air provided to a machine to improve efficiencies during periods of inactivity.  The unit generates pressure, flow, and temperature data to characterize normal operating conditions and identify trends to both compare with similar machines and enable preventative action to maintain optimal system performance.  The unit does not require reprogramming of the user's PLC to operate, making integration both simple and cost effective.  The high-resolution data is accessed by the PLC via fieldbus and SCADA packages via OPC UA.  Using OPC UA and wireless systems, the Air Management System can be added without connector to the PLC or changes to PLC programming.

Series PF3W7-L digital flow sensor constantly monitors water or coolant flow.  "L" models are IO-Link compatible.  These sensors also have the "Z" designation for redesigned piping adapters, imparting a 13-53% weight reduction depending on flow range.  PF3W7-L features an integrated 3-color, 2-screen display.  Options include a manual flow adjustment valve and temperature sensor.  The main screen displays instantaneous flow value in red or green, while the white subscreen can show temperature, the switch set point, accumulated or peak/bottom value, or a line name.  The display rotates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, offering improved readability during operation.  When paired with an IO-Link master, values and settings can be accessed from the HMI screen.  PF3W7-L incorporates IO-Link version 1.1 and COM2 speed.  48 bits of process data include flow and temperature values, switch outputs, and diagnostics.  Both IO-Link data and switch outputs can be read over the M8 or M8-to-M12 cable.  PF3W7-L is IP65 rated, and is both RoHS and CE compliant.

The IZT bar ionizer is an industrial static control solution.  Bar ionizers generate a curtain of static eliminating ions effective for a distance up to 2000mm/6.5 ft.  The IZT's low profile is also ideal for tight clearance installations.  Compared to SMC's IZS4 bar ionizers, the power supply and control modules have been separated from the bar, resulting in a reduction in bar height.  IZT bars can be placed closer to static-carrying materials in more confined adjacent spaces.  The separate controller can be mounted in a workstation for easier access and observation during operation.  Models include the standard IZT40, the IZT41 which adds auto-balance, emitter maintenance detection, and I/O signals, and the IZT42 with low amplitude ion generation for sensitive electronics.  Extending the value of IZT, one controller can manage a maximum of 4 ionizing bars.  Needle cartridges are easily removed, without tools, for cleaning or end-of-life replacement, futher extending this ionizer's value.

By neutralizing static electricity, our IZS bar style Ionizer prevents damage to work pieces caused by sticking. Static charge removal time can be reduced with an optional sensor that directly senses charge  allowing the removal of static electricity at high speed (0.3s) by generating the appropriate ion polarity. Needle cartridges can be replaced quickly to reduce down time. The IZS bar style Ionizer is available  in various lengths to meet the specific needs of your work area.

Unlike bar or nozzle types, this fan ionizer does not require a pneumatic air supply.  The fan draws in ambient air, then ionizes the air with four electrodes located around the perimeter of the discharge  grill.  The fan can be wired into a 24VDC machine power supply, or use the optional 120V AC adapter.  The small form factor adapts well to enclosure mounting, or select the benchtop mounting bracket for free  positioning.

SMC offers two industrial static control options for compact or confined target treatment areas.  The IZN Nozzle Ionizer is a palm-sized, self-contained static control device with a cable for PLC I/O and power supply connections.  The IZT43 pairs a smaller ionizing head with separate power supply and control modules, for even more confined applications up to 3m from the operator's workstation.

Antistatic fitting and tubing is made from a conductive resin is making them ideal for high static environments.

Controllers and drivers needed for our electric actuator family.  You will find step motor, servo motor and card motor controllers as well as 24VDC Fieldbus gateway units and AC servo drivers.

Electric linear actuators can push, pull or transfer workloads in a distinctly different way from pneumatic actuators. Pneumatic actuators rely on relatively crude devices such as rubber cushions or shock absorbers, pressure regulators, and flow restricting fittings at the port to control their motion. By contrast, an electric actuator employs an electronically controlled motor and ballscrew to deliver a precise motion profile through acceleration, speed and deceleration. Further, the controller is capable of integrating multiple ‘stop’ positions along the actuator's stroke with high precision and repeatability.

Recirculating chillers and heat exchangers are installed to provide thermal stability for applications in industrial and applied sciences from laser cutting, welding, marking and plastic injection molding.

This next generation ISE70 pressure sensor provides continuous quantitative values, as well as switched digital outputs when pressure set points are met.  This sensor is also IO-Link compatible.  Sensor information, such as identity, functional state, cable connection, and current or switch values can be set or monitored remotely though an IO-Link master, and connected to a fieldbus network.  The ISE70 is designed for abusive environments that may also include splashed coolant, lubricants or grime.  Electronics are packaged in a metal housing, while the piping connection is a stout lug with female threads, which together protect the sensor against accidental collisions with other objects in the area.  A smooth display face with membrane type buttons avoids contamination from grit and sticky residue that could clog or jam raised rubber buttons.  The display is angled and can rotate 336 degrees, to permit easy reading when indirectly mounted.  The main screen shows instantaneous values in red or green, while the sub screen setting appear in orange.  Switch indicators will also light when set points are reached.
