SCTMi mini compact terminal is a lightweight
Use directly on the gripper
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. The mini compact terminal saves a third of the weight and requires only half the footprint.
Schmalz has made its compact terminals even smaller and lighter. The new SCTMi model weighs around a third less than its big brother and only requires around half the footprint - making it ideal for use directly on the gripper or on a moving axis. Short evacuation times and low energy consumption enable flexible use in different types of machines.
Up to 16 separate vacuum circuits
The compact terminals control up to 16 separate vacuum circuits, with unoccupied slots being closed off by dummy plugs. This scalability gives users great flexibility when requirements change, as they can replace or add ejector disks in a matter of minutes. The electrical and pneumatic control connections are on one level and ensure quick and easy installation and uncomplicated expansion. Thanks to the modular principle, terminals with up to 16 separate vacuum circuits are possible. This reduces the integration time from two days to just four hours. If service is required, the specialists can access the device with the Schmalz Control Room app via the integrated NFC functionality and receive a useful description of faults 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 work efficiently. They are particularly suitable for highly dynamic pick-and-place applications with short cycle times.
The SCTMi mini compact terminals are available with an IO-Link communication interface. In the first half of 2024, there will be variants with Ethernet and as a valve variant for setting up different vacuum circuits with central, external vacuum generation.
