Air gripper unit for collaborative robots.  Plug and play configuration for use with URCap compatible programming.

Series MHM is a magnetic gripper that can be used in place of vacuum cups or grippers when holding a metallic workpiece. Position sensors can be mounted on all 4 sides and can be mounted on 3 sides.

2 finger grippers are the most popular style of gripper.  SMC has many variations in 2 finger grippers to fit a variety of applications and work pieces.

3 finger grippers are great for round work pieces.  The 3 fingers movement is synchronized by either a wedge cam or a rotary cam mechanism.

4 finger grippers are optimal for postioning square work pieces as well as picking up round objects. Its wedge cam design minimizes its overall size while retaining a high holding force making it suitable for end-of-arm (end effector) or space constrained pick and place applications.

The Auto Hand Changing (AHC) system, coupled with a tool adaptor, can be quickly linked and interchanged with either a standard or high precision pneumatic gripper. It is very versatile and can be integrated into a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) making the AHC an effective 2-in-1 gripper component. The MA2 load bearing unit has a max. transportable mass of 3 kg, with a built-in failsafe mechanism for drop prevention when there is loss of air pressure. Paired with the tool adaptor, it can link with two types of grippers.

Series JMGP compact guided actuators are double acting, compact and lightweight.  The JMGP is suitable for pushing, lifting or clamping applications.

Series JCQ Compact Actuators are double acting, single rod, compact and lightweight.

The ZK2*A series is an energy-saving generator with 93% reduced air consumption.  It has a 50% increase in suction flow compared to other single stage SMC generators.  The ZK2*A also has various mounting options to choose from.

SMC suction cups are designed in a range of 19 diameters from 2mm to 200mm for use in delicate or heavy applications. SMC vacuum cups are available to fit many unusual shapes and are constructed from a variety  of premium materials such as Silicon, NBR, Urethane, Fluorine etc. Installation options can be specified on either spring loaded buffers or threaded stems. Special application cups are also available such as  check valve, porous material, annulus area etc.

The ZP, ZP2 and ZP3 series lateral entry adapters offer a wide variety of cup diameters, materials and designs to suit multiple applications. The adapters are available with SMC's acclaimed built-in one-touch fittings. Buffer types are available with strokes up to 50mm, depending on the series.

Non-contact suction cups (XT661) utilize the Bernoulli principle for picking up parts where direct contact is not feasible.  The design makes it possible for picking up porous, uneven and serrated surfaced objects.

XT661's design averts deforming or distorting the shape of fragile and non-rigid workpieces such as: foil, thin sheets, paper, and printed circuit boards.

Vacuum pad and generator are integrated for space savings. The two-stage generator increases suction flow up to 50% and reduces air consumption up to 30%. Design features allow for daisy-chain piping and the mounting with lock plates makes for easier maintenance.

ZP2V is a vacuum saving valve that when multiple vacuum pads are operated by one vacuum generator, and some of them are not holding the work piece, the reduction of vacuum pressure is restricted and the work piece can remain held by the rest of pads. When the work pieces have different shapes, the control circuit can be simplified. There is no need for switching operation when changing work pieces.

The EX600 serial interface offers a full suite of diagnostics and programmable parameters to meet the most stringent requirements. The EX600 offers excellent flexibility including digital input, digital output and analog input unit options. With the use of D-sub output blocks, a maximum of 9 remote D-sub manifolds can be attached to one EX600 communication module. This serial interface is compatible with series SV1000/2000/3000, VQC1000/2000/4000, S0700 and the new SY series valves. Available protocols include  Ethernet/IP™, PROFINET.  The EX600 wireless cannot be used in countries where wireless is not supported.  Refer to the catalog for details of countries where wireless is supported.
