Special grippers and end effectors for battery production
Foils made of copper and aluminum have to withstand a lot in battery production before they can perform their role as anode and cathode in a battery. The handling between the individual production steps must be all the gentler, but how does that work? J. Schmalz offers special grippers and end effectors as little helpers for gentle transport of the sensitive cathodes, anodes, separators and pouch cells.

Owis offers a large portfolio Vacuum Technology from High vacuum (HV), about Ultra high vacuum (UHV) up to extremely high vacuum (XHV). It starts with positioners and optical components in pressure ranges up to 10-6 mbar. In 2017 the company expanded the UHV to 10-9 mbar with new ultra-high vacuum products for a considerable expansion of the possible applications. Last but not least, in the last few years the know-how for XHV products has increased to 10-11 mbar worked out.

For the gentle transfer of workpieces from or to the machines vacuum cups used, be it in paper production, packaging technology, food technology or beverage industry. The suction cups not only have to grip securely, they should also be able to be installed and maintained as quickly and easily as possible. The new vacuum cup ZP3C from SMC is ideal for this. You can find these and other innovations below:

The integrated IO-Link functionality in the compact ejectors SCPi / SMPi from Schmalz is the prerequisite for standardized and therefore cost-effective networking of system components and for preventive system monitoring. In addition, up to 65% compressed air can be saved with these vacuum generators. The power blow-off function ensures more process speed, with which even sensitive workpieces can be removed without damage.

Efficient vacuum generation with compressed air is possible. If the vacuum generator is optimally designed for the application, all parameters such as workpiece properties, cycle times and transport routes have been taken into account and if a suitable, performance-based ejector with functionalities relevant to the requirements is selected, compressed air is not expensive, but a highly efficient energy carrier. Vacuum technology specialist J. Schmalz shows how it's done.

J. Schmalz presents the new high-speed suction cup SAXM with an extremely high stroke and a new internal structure. In this way, they ensure good adaptation to different workpiece contours and significantly increased transverse force absorption even on oiled sheets. This enables the fastest cycles and maximum output quantities, as when used in press lines. The new double sheet control DBD has a flexibly mounted sensor holder and ensures that the sensor is placed exactly on the workpiece. This reduces false signals and downtimes to a minimum when separating sheet metal.
