The HRL is a temperature control device featuring two independent cooling channels in one package.  This thermo chiller is designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system.  Considerable space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution.  All operations can be managed from a single touch panel.  A triple inverter controls power consumption of the fan, pump, and compressor for optimal energy savings.  The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliability.  The HRL is copper free and suitable for DI water, including a DI filter and electrical conductivity control kit.  Additional standard features include a 5µm particle filter, earth leakage breaker, and casters for mobility.

The HRLE is a temperature control device featuring two independent cooling channels in one package.  This thermo chiller is designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system.  Considerabe space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution.  All operation can be managed from a single touch panel.  Compared to the HRL, the HRLE targets medium-sized 3-4kW lasers and simplifies the internal components.  Heat extracted by the refrigerant cycle can be either cooled with a fan (air type) or with facility water (water type).  Space and energy are saved using a single fan (air type), compressor, pump and tank.  The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliability.  Several features are optional to reduce the cost of the basic unit.  These options include DI water capability, electrical conductivity control kit, bypass piping, automatic water fill kit, particle and fluid fill filters, and a ball valve set for adjusting coolant pressure and flow rate.

PF3W is a digital flow sensor that constantly monitors water or coolant flow.  PF3W refreshes the design and operating performance of the legacy PF2W model.  The body is up to 40% smaller in volume, and requires shorter straight piping for improved installation flexibility.  The upgraded 2-screen, 3-color numerical display rotates in both CW and CCW directions, offering improved visibility in a range of orientations.  Two outputs are available, including two switch signals, or a switch and analog signal.  Options include a mounting bracket, flow adjustment valve and temperature sensor to monitor flow and temperature simultaneously.  PF3W is grease-free, IP65 rated, and C-UL-US, CE and RoHS compliant.

Series MHM is a magnetic gripper that can be used in place of vacuum cups or grippers when holding a metallic workpiece.  Auto switches can be mounted on 2 surfaces.  Expanded mounting options include body tapped, lateral, and central.

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.  

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 has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve.  The SY3000 and SY5000 have the same valve width as their predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing the valve size to be reduced. A built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter. By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.   Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.  The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles, and can be used individually or manifold mounted.
