SMC’s new ZP3E vacuum pads feature a strong hold and smooth release

SMC has launched a vacuum pad series, ZP3E, that is either flat or bellows shaped and features a shot blasted surface with grooves. The Series also has a strong adsorption force, whilst being able to remove work pieces smoothly and prevent removal failures due to sticking.

Vitoria, Spain (May 7, 2015)

SMC, the worldwide leading expert in pneumatics, has unveiled the ZP3E Series multi-purpose vacuum pads, with a diameter range from 32 to 125 mm.

The ZP3E has been designed to meet the demands of general industry where there is a requirement for a vacuum pad to hold different types of workpieces.
The pads are either flat or bellows shaped to accommodate both level and slanted surfaces and are available in various materials – NBR, silicone rubber, urethane rubber and FKM – to handle workpieces of different surface properties.

The pads also feature dents and bumps on the adsorption surface that guarantee contact with the workpiece at all times and ensure stability of the suction position, giving operators an effective and reliable solution. The grooves also help with overall reliability as the adsorption force has been improved, eliminating the risk of the workpiece slipping even on oily surfaces.

Requiring just one bolt to mount and replace the pad, the overall labour time is greatly reduced improving efficiencies and costs. Being easy to disassemble, the ZP3E is also environmentally friendly as the rubber and metal can be separated for recycling.

SMC said: “The ZP3E is a great addition to our vacuum pad range. It meets the growing demand for environmentally friendly products that also deliver in terms of performance and flexibility, so that a broad variety of surfaces, sizes or shapes of products can be picked up without a problem.”

Flexibility is key when it comes to the ZP3E and it features a wide adaptor port size, which allows for a high suction flow rate across many applications such as adsorbing cardboard without generating marks in the sustained element. The mark-free NBR pad is ideal for such workpieces that need to remain free from adsorption marks.

A male adapter for direct mounting offers further time and labour savings as well as space savings. Another feature is that robot loads are reduced thanks to a low weight in the ball joint type.

For more information on the ZP3E visit the SMC new product page: www.smc.eu
