SMC’s energy-saving initiatives at our factories, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; “Challenging the Limits of Air Reduction: Decarbonization through Air-Saving Equipment × Lowering Facility Air Pressure,” won “The Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ) Chairman’s Award” in the Best Practice Category of the FY2025 Energy Conservation Grand Prize.

SMC launches IP66 bar‑type ionizer for washdown and dusty environments Global automation specialist SMC has expanded its static control portfolio with the launch of the IZSW10 Series, a new IP66‑rated bar‑type ionizer designed for reliable performance in dusty, humid and washdown‑intensive environments. The IZSW10 combines high‑speed static neutralisation with long‑range capability, selectable ion generation modes and a hygienic, easy‑to‑maintain design.

SMC launches the HR□C series – a compact and energy-efficient chiller range using CO₂ (R744) as a natural refrigerant. Fully compliant with the latest EU F-Gas Regulation (EU 2024/573), this solution is ideal for manufacturers seeking sustainable thermal control without compromising performance or safety. The HR□C series is designed for easy integration into industrial systems and supports a wide range of applications where precise temperature control is critical.

New from SMC is the PFES Series electric speed controller, offering remote control of pneumatic actuator speed with a simple and compact design. Ideal for installations where access is restricted or puts operators at risk, the PFES Series enables safe, efficient adjustment of actuator speed without the need for manual intervention. Of course, the PFES is not limited to pneumatic actuator speed adjustment and can also be considered for the control of air blow or gas purge flow rates.

For optimal funktionalitet: • Dual-channel ventilkoncept –én enkelt fejl kompromitterer ikke sikkerheden • Certificeret i henhold til ISO 13849-1, op til PLe og SIL 3 i henhold til IEC 61508:2010 – kan installeres som en sikkerhedsrelateret del af styresystemet i overensstemmelse med ovenstående standarder • Høj flowkapacitet – op til 15.000 l/min (ANR) sikrer hurtig afluftning af den farlige energi, som systemtrykket kan udgøre • Soft-start funktion som standard – forhindrer ukontrollerede pneumatiske bevægelser under opstart og reducerer risikoen for maskinskader • Udstyret med port til trykmåler – muliggør visualisering af udgangstryk og/eller integration af yderligere diagnostik med digitale pressostater VPX er modulopbygget for at sikre nem montering sammen med SMC’s luftbehandlingsudstyr og tilsluttes via to M12-stik. Et integreret LED-display giver visuel feedback på ventilens driftsstatus, ud over verifikation gennem styresystemet. “Denne sikkerhedsventil er et velkomment supplement, da den både komplementerer og opgraderer vores sortiment af sikkerhedsprodukter,” siger Fredrik Edholm, Product Manager. “Maskinsikkerhed står øverst på SMC’s dagsorden, og vi leverer effektive produkter til vores kunder, vi bidrager med ekspertise på området, og vi engagerer os i sikkerhedsdrøftelser med vores kunder, hvilket er ekstremt vigtigt,” afslutter han.

SMC lancerer IN778 – en kompakt membrangenerator, der producerer nitrogen fra trykluft uden behov for strømforsyning. Denne løsning er ideel til applikationer, hvor der kræves en kontinuerlig forsyning af nitrogen, for eksempel i fødevare- og medicinalindustrien samt på dækværksteder. Generatoren er kompakt og tilpasset til modulopbygning sammen med SMC’s luftbehandlingsudstyr, hvilket gør den nem at integrere i en maskine eller direkte ved anvendelsesstedet.
