Needle grippers for handling of non-rigid or highly porous materialsHandling materials that are difficult to grip using vacuum such as composite textiles, SMC-materials, fleeceFor applications which require very high penetration force and large needle strokes and handling of tacky material

Replacing the upper suction plate on a vacuum blockSuction plates suitable for all Schmalz vacuum blocksReplacing the upper suction plate on a vacuum blockSuction plates suitable for all Schmalz vacuum blocks

Hose-free vacuum clamping system for CNC machining centers with console table (2-circuit system)The vacuum blocks are pre-fixed to the consoles and secured against movement during setupSafe and precise clamping of the workpiece and the vacuum blocks on the console with the second vacuumThe optional touch valve (TV) enables unused vacuum blocks to remain on the machine table

Spring plunger in small design with internal damping spring for handling of workpieces with differing heights and curvaturesHandling of very sensitive workpieces (e.g. printed circuit boards) without additional control expenses; ensures gentle placementHandling tasks in the electronics industrySuitable for cleanroom applications depending on the application and the loading case, up to cleanroom class ISO1 (according to ISO 146441)

Hose-free vacuum clamping system VCBL-B from Schmalz for console tables from BiesseFully compatible with the original vacuum blocksThe vacuum blocks VCBL-B can be inserted in any direction in 15 increments in the standard mountings from BiesseClamping straps on the vacuum block ring and magnets ensure secure fixation in the vacuum block mountingThe vacuum blocks are available in heights of 29 mm and 48 mm (for 3 and 4-axis machines) and 74 mm (for 5-axis machines)Height H:

Round, bellows suction cup with 1.5 folds for handling of extremely sensitive workpieces (optimum damping effect due to folds and smooth sealing lip)Handling of workpieces with uneven surfaces, such as pipes (folds permit optimal adaptation to concave and convex surfaces)

Redox flow battery systems use fluid storage media to store energy. The storage media are kept in external tanks. The central component of the battery is the stack a conversion unit for transforming the energy between electrical and electro-chemical. The amount and size of stacks and tanks and the related characteristics such as power and capacity can be scaled independently of each other with this battery technology. Significant aging mechanisms are dispensed with thanks to the use of fluid storage media. The redox flow battery systems can therefore be used to create durable storage systems tailored to a variety of applications. A decisive factor for the power and efficiency of a redox flow battery system is the quality of the stack used. Schmalz focuses its development work on this core component and provides stacks for integrators.
