📦Come and visit us at Propak Cape Town, Wed 28 - Thurs 29 Oct

The SMC team is in Cape Town and we are showcasing the latest tech for packaging.

Come and see how automation can make packaging lines faster:
✅ ZGS foam gripper: pick up products of different shapes and sizes with one gripper
✅ Nitrogen generator: make your own nitrogen on site from compressed air
✅ Antibacterial filters: clean, safe air for food and packaging lines
✅ Booster with tank: more pressure where you need it, without a bigger compressor
Plus our wider range of pneumatic and automation products.

Have a problem on your line? Bring it to us. Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

When there's a power cut, you don’t need to lose your position on the line.

Here's a scenario every engineer knows:
• The power cuts mid-cycle. Power comes back. And before the line can run again, every axis has to return to its home position.
• That's the incremental encoder problem: when power goes, so does position data.
• Absolute encoders fix this, but the traditional kind relies on a battery to hold that data. That's one more consumable to monitor, stock and replace.
• SMC's battery-less absolute encoder electric actuators remove the battery from the equation entirely.
• When power is restored, the actuator resumes from its last position. No homing routine. No battery maintenance.

How would battery-less absolute actuators suit your application?

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫: Not in a standard unit, unless the model is made for it.

Here's what you need to know before you fill the tank:
1. 𝐓𝐚𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫
Only tap water that meets the water quality standards can be used as the circulating fluid. Not all site water does. The limits are in the HRS series "Specific Product Precautions".
2. 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝐝𝐞𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝) 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫
Select option "M" (deionized water piping). This version does not use copper-based materials in the wetted parts of the circulating fluid circuit.
3. 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬
The upper limits for electric resistivity are:
🔹 HRS-M: up to 4.5 MΩ·cm
🔹 HRS / HRSH (standard): up to 1 MΩ·cm
4. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞
A DI filter set is available separately. It helps you keep the electric resistance at the right level.

🛠️ 𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬:
• Decide your coolant fluid at the design stage, not at commissioning.
• Ask your end customer what fluid they will use before you specify the chiller.

One extra question now can save you from swapping the whole unit later.

Robots that pick and pack usually need a vacuum pump, valves, sensors and wiring to be bolted on separately. More parts to mount, more to wire, and weight on the robot arm.

The SMC ZGS/ZGP Vacuum Gripper System puts it all in one unit — just plug in, supply air, done.

Benefits:
🔹 Pick up almost anything — boxes, bags, uneven shapes, different sizes
🔹 Grip stays solid in any orientation, even on tricky surfaces
🔹 Smaller, lighter robot — less weight on the arm means lower cost
🔹 Design and install faster — no more piecing together separate components
🔹 Drop-in compatible with UR, OMRON/TECHMAN, FANUC and Yaskawa robots

Improved - SMC LPVA Air Operated Pinch Valve

Engineers and maintenance teams: how long does it currently take to replace one tube?

If you have to disconnect every tube first... probably longer than it should.

💡 The improved SMC LPVA Pinch Valve changes that.

✔ Front-access design – simply open the cover and replace the tube
✔ Up to 40% faster maintenance
✔ Compact and lightweight for easier machine integration

Waste less time replacing tubes = more time producing.
