Exhibitions
    
With a range of dedicated products designed especially for both the Photovoltaic and Semiconductor industry sectors, we have recently exhibited at the 22nd European PV and Solar Exhibition in Milan and Semicon Europa in Stuttgart.
These two events provided us with the perfect platform to demonstrate our new "non contact"
Bernoulli grippers using dynamic simulated working displays.
Visitors seeing these grippers in action for the first time were simply blown away!.

   SMC EXPERT
 
As an organisation that likes to work closely with our customers, each month we will dedicate a small section of this e-newsletter to provide you with a "Top Tip" which we hope could make a real difference to your business.

For this month, our "Top Tip" is something which is very close to our hearts - Energy Saving.

Many industries use air blow as part of their manufacturing process. Often this can account for up to 50% of the total compressed air consumed, but this is often overlooked when energy costs are under scrutiny.

An "open blow" system where the air is blown through the air outlet without the use of end fittings (nozzles) is now recognised as one of the biggest consumers of compressed air.

Prevention of wastage in air blow:
- Use regulator, to insure the right pressure at the nozzle
- Reduce pressure loss in upstream piping
- Check the distance to the work piece and select the correct diameter nozzle
- Install a solenoid valve to reduce the blow time operation - from constant to intermittent operation
