The Schmalz Compact Terminal SCTMi, available in Canada from Wainbee

Wainbee Limited is spotlighting products that help users identify and avoid equipment failure with its Predictive Maintenance lineup. One manufacturer of these items is Schmalz, which produces the Compact Terminal SCTMi. This vacuum-powered compact terminal uses a wide variety of innovative, efficient technologies and networking options for intelligent industrial automation facilities.

Component with flexible vacuum generation

The Schmalz Compact Terminal SCTMi from Wainbee is a fully networked compact unit that includes several vacuum generators for handling different parts independently at the same time, all with one single vacuum system. This instrument is a powerful, flexible, and efficient handling system that is perfect for the needs of current and future production processes, which deal with a large range of variants and continual energy and process control.

The SCTMi’s compact design and light weight make it versatile enough for many applications, and it has sufficient central compressed air and energy for up to 16 ejectors with only one connection each. The modular design enables the installation of various vacuum circuits to handle different parts easily, while users can select individual ejectors based on nozzle size or type. The terminal can be integrated with many different field-bus systems, and the process and device parameters can be configured with ease with IO-Link or Near-Field Communication (NFC). It has many diagnostic functions, as well as process transparency and energy consumption control, which make it ideal for intelligent manufacturing facilities, and users can control all suction circuits separately.

Other beneficial features of the Schmalz Compact Terminal SCTMi:

  • Near-Field Communication. The energy-neutral point-to-point connection allows for reliable communication, and visible statistical and dynamic process information can be read out. An optional app can parameterize the terminal from a Smartphone.
  • Networking in Industry 4.0 Systems. An IO-Link connection allows users to view recorded information. Condition monitoring helps to detect system faults; predictive maintenance improves the performance of gripping systems; and energy monitoring optimizes the vacuum system’s energy consumption.
  • Integrated electronic Sub-Bus System. Users can implement electronic control with only one cable, as well as program and control all ejectors separately.
