Automotive
Schmalz products comply with the highest standards of quality and permit decisive productivity increases in the metals industry.
Highly qualified staff members, long-term industry experience, and an extensive supplier network with subsidiaries all over the world guarantee quick and professional assistance for our domestic and foreign automotive industry customers.
Special Industry Requirements:
- Dynamic, secure and precisely positioned handling of metal sheets
- Top requirements for dynamics, cycle times and lifetime, for example when linking presses
- Oil resistant and silicon free suction pads
- Smooth, structured and curved metal sheets, some with cut-outs
- Reduced energy costs
Possible Applications of Vacuum Technology:
- Handling of thin and aluminium sheets without denting or swedging of the metal sheet
- Highly dynamic energy-optimized handling of different types of metal sheets in varying dimensions, in undefined positions, with cut-outs and/or structured surfaces
- Health-preserving handling of heavy and unwieldy workpieces by one person.
- Gripping of steel and nonferrous metals which cannot be magnetized
- Large selection of different suction pads allows for flexible handling of different workpiece geometries
- Innovative vacuum generators save energy and reduce costs
- Low-wear, low-maintenance vacuum components increase output quantity

Vacuum Components
In Schmalz's vacuum components sector, specialized suction pads, such as bell-shaped, bellows and flat suction pads, are available. In addition, components, such as spring plungers, vacuum switches and flow restrictors, as well as different vacuum generators, are available.
Suction pads for handling sheet metal
Special series of suction pads for handling sheet mental. The highlights: withstand very high horizontal forces, no deformation of the workpiece, secure holding of the workpiece, etc.

Magnetic gripper for the handling of steel sheets with holes and apertures.
Vacuum generators (compact ejectors)
In addition to the functions of a basic ejector, compact ejectors are equipped with a suction valve, a blow-off valve, a vacuum switch and a filter.
More...Mounting elements
Depending on the application different elements are used to mount the suction pads. Find a wide range of jointed mountings, spring plungers, adapters, holders, sections and connectors here.
More...Switches and system monitoring
Switches, regulators and display devices permit reliable monitoring of the vacuum system. An important aspect is that these devices must be perfectly matched to the system being monitored, but this is no problem with the available spectrum of devices.
Vacuum Gripping Systems
Complex vacuum gripping systems from Schmalz permit decisive productivity improvements to be achieved. The range extends from layer and large-area gripping systems to complete vacuum spiders, delivered ready for connection, for use in all areas of automation.
Large-area vacuum gripping system FX/FXC
The large-area vacuum gripping systems are ideal for automated palletizing, depalletizing, order picking and sorting of the most varied goods in various dimensions. The gripping devices permit handling of workpieces made from the most varied materials, such as carton, wood, metal sheets (dry) and plastic, both with and without cut-outs.
The vacuum generator guarantees maximum effectiveness because of the injector's direct integration right at the point of impact in the gripper.
Large-area vacuum gripping system FM/FMC
The large-area vacuum gripping systems are ideal for automated palletizing, depalletizing, order picking and sorting of the most varied goods in various dimensions. The gripping devices permit handling of workpieces made from the most varied materials, such as carton, wood, metal sheets (dry) and plastic, both with and without cut-outs.
The large-area vacuum gripping system FM/FMC impresses with its low height and weight. External vacuum generation offers the option to generate the vacuum electrically; this saves energy, and thus operating expenses.

Flexible Handling of CFP Pipes with the FXC Large-Area Gripping System
The FXC-SVKW large-area vacuum gripping system is excellently suited for handling round materials such as pipes or rods, which cannot be completely covered by the gripping system due to their geometry. Among the workpieces of this type are the CFP pipes that are used in many industrial applications.
More...Automated Handling of Strongly Bent Aluminum Sections using the FXC Gripping System
A pre-configured vacuum gripper system from Schmalz, mounted on a robot, is used to automatically handle the sections between the individual work stages. The gripper system comprises four FXC large-area grippers with integrated vacuum generation.
