Schmalz and CoreTigo enhance industrial vacuum automation with innovative wireless solutions
Schmalz , one of the field leaders in vacuum automation and ergonomic handling solutions , and CoreTigo , the worldwide provider of industrial wireless automation solutions announced the expansion of their collaboration – unbinding robotic vacuum pumps for a variety of industrial applications . This partnership marks a significant leap forward in the industrial automation landscape and brings a new era of enhanced capabilities and seamless wireless real-time control .
The integration of CoreTigo ’ s advanced IO-Link Wireless technology into Schmalz ’ s products showcases the company ’ s commitment to continuous innovation and dedication to customer satisfaction . By eliminating the need for communication cables along robotic arms to the pump , this collaboration brings various benefits , such as ease of use , reduced complexity , improved flexibility , and minimized dress packs , to name a few .
Schmalz is releasing to the industrial market two new wireless products in the near future :
1 . SCTSi : A Compact terminal - with blocked compact ejectors for simultaneous , independent handling of different parts with only one vacuum system .
The Compact Terminal SCTSi was demonstrated recently at Automatica as can be seen in this video where the IO- Link Wireless enabled Schmalz Valve island ( manifold ) is wirelessly controlling in real-time the provided vacuum for the several independent vacuum circuits on the delta robot .
2 . ECBPMi - A state-of-the-art Vacuum Generator End-of- Arm Electric vacuum generator in miniature design for dense workpieces .
These products have diagnostics functions for energy and process control . Condition monitoring functionalities enable detailed condition analysis for early fault detection . In addition , systems can be maintained in a predictive manner . The data for this is provided via IO-Link .
The integration of CoreTigo ’ s IO-Link Wireless solutions empowers Schmalz ’ s products with real-time and seamless communication as well as unparalleled control . With the elimination of communication cables , these new offerings significantly reduce the complexity of the industrial setup , providing greater flexibility and ensuring optimal performance in various applications .
