Schmalz vacuum components are a wide range of elements for creating vacuum systems in automated production.
They are used in vakuum grippers, packaging machines, processing lines, assembly, quality control, and other industries where fast, precise, and safe gripping and handling is required.
Key Advantages:
- fast integration into automated systems
- extensive component range — from suction cups to intelligent sensors
- high reliability and durability — ideal for continuous production
- compact and lightweight designs — minimizes end-effector weight
- smart modules with diagnostics and control functions
