シュマルツ List of Products and Services

Schmalz Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in vacuum equipment based in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama City, has developed the "Multi-Clamp System VC-M Series," which is ideal for securing materials during wood processing. The Multi-Clamp System VC-M is a suction device that fixes materials using vacuum air during various wood processing tasks such as cutting, sanding, and screw installation. It can be used either as a standalone suction plate or in combination with a base. The suction plate is equipped with a built-in vacuum generator, allowing for easy use by simply connecting compressed air to fix both sides. The suction range can be adjusted to various shapes and sizes by placing a sealing cord in the grooves of the plate. By arranging multiple suction plates, it can also accommodate longer workpieces. There are also types of suction plates that do not have a built-in vacuum generator, and for situations where there is no air source nearby, a compact vacuum pump that can be used with AC100V is available. Additionally, by attaching the suction plate to an optional base, the angle can be adjusted, making it ideal for processing areas other than the surface of the workpiece.

Schmalz Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in vacuum equipment based in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama City, has developed the high-precision suction block ISBL-T series as part of its lineup of vacuum suction blocks for NC routers. Schmalz manufactures vacuum suction blocks for processing machines in addition to vacuum equipment for automatic transport. The vacuum suction blocks support the production of processed products by holding and fixing materials, such as wooden boards, from the bottom surface before processing. Because of the retention from the bottom surface, it is possible to process not only the surface of the material but also the sides. The vacuum clamping system IS series allows for the introduction of suction blocks by placing Schmalz-made steel plates on various tables, such as machine tables, grid tables, and flat tables. They can be arranged freely according to the workpiece, eliminating the need for jigs that were previously made for each processed item. The ISBL-T series features vacuum suction blocks with a height accuracy of ±0.06mm, enabling high-precision processing that was not achievable with the previous lineup (height accuracy ±0.15mm), thereby expanding the range of applications. Additionally, mechanical clamps are also available instead of suction retention.

Our company, which handles vacuum equipment for automatic transport and clamping, offers various transport methods that contribute to improving productivity and reducing costs in the manufacturing industry. You can choose the optimal method according to the target object. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Compact Ejector "SCPS/SCPSi" A palm-sized ejector capable of energy-saving operation and high-speed suction. ■ Magnetic Gripper "SGM Series" A gripper with built-in permanent magnets, ideal for workpieces with holes or gaps where vacuum suction cannot be used. ■ Needle Gripper "SNG" A gripper that can transport highly breathable fibrous workpieces by extending and retracting built-in needles. ■ Vacuum Pad for Thin Steel Plates "SAXM" For high-speed transport of thin steel plates with an oil film! A suction pad made of Elastodur, featuring flexibility and wear resistance. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The SSCB is a clamp system that integrates a suction pad and positioning pin. It reduces the issues of wobbling and positional variation that occurred when using only the pad for suction. It is also possible to transfer the pin position based on the workpiece itself or to set the pin position using 3D data and the robot's movements. Conveying hands and clamp jigs that were previously custom-made using mechanical clamps, reference pins, and guides can be simplified and made more versatile by using the SSCB. The suction pad uses a Barlocan pad that excels in abrasion and tear resistance, making it durable and less likely to tear even when coming into contact with sharp edges of metal sheets.
