Press releases

Perfect handling of sensitive electronics - with the new suction cup material HT1-ESD from Schmalz. The material releases several critical problems in electronics production at the same time: it leaves hardly any marks on components, reliably protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and withstands temperatures up to 170 degrees Celsius.

From March 10 to 11, Schmalz will be presenting its broad portfolio for the automation industry at all about automation Friedrichshafen in Hall B2, Booth 410, addressing the central requirements of modern manufacturing companies: flexibility, energy efficiency and fast changeover times.

Wireless communication, limitless possibilities: With IO-Link Wireless, Schmalz is making the factory of tomorrow a reality today. Michael Pojtinger, Head of Business Development Process, Vacuum Automation, explains in an interview why the technology is a game changer for productivity and flexibility.

Anyone who manually loads or unloads dozens of containers every day knows the problem: heavy cardboard boxes, uncomfortable positions, exhausted employees. The portable conveyor systems Destuff-it™ and Restuff-it™ provide a remedy and pay for themselves faster than expected. With them, Schmalz offers a solution that achieves three goals at the same time: higher productivity, better working conditions and measurable cost benefits.

The Glatten-based company has been awarded the Baden-Württemberg Environmental Technology Prize in the "Energy Efficiency" category for its highly efficient and scalable redox flow stack. With this solution, Schmalz is bringing the most powerful stack in Europe onto the market.

Vacuum specialist Schmalz has further developed the VCBL-GL vacuum block. The new generation impresses with a modular design, an extensive spare parts catalog and a wider range of applications - for more flexibility and lower costs over the entire life cycle.

Full stands, clamp matches and plenty of team spirit: Last weekend, the fourth Schmalz Cup took place in the stadium hall at the Panoramabad Freudenstadt. Together with Spvgg Freudenstadt, Schmalz hosted the two-day youth soccer tournament, where junior teams from various age groups put their skills to the test.

Digital Engineering Service from Schmalz – Engineering process simply automated: The web-based Digital Engineering Service from Schmalz designs tailored gripping solutions for any number of different sheet metal parts digitally and automatically. This allows users to save up to 80 percent of engineering time and achieve their goals effortlessly.

Innovative systems and clamping world premieres? That's what visitors will find at productronica in Munich from November 18 to 21. In Hall B3 at Stand 301, vacuum specialist Schmalz will be showcasing efficient and future-oriented handling systems - especially for sensitive components.

Dr. Maik Fiedler is a member of the company management and head of the Vacuum Automation business unit at Schmalz. In this interview, he explains the strategic importance of End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) for automation and describes how Schmalz designs the connection between robot and workpiece.

Grip whatever comes your way: Different materials, changing workpieces and increasing cost pressure require systems that can adapt flexibly. With the vacuum area gripping systems FA-X / FA-M, Schmalz is launching two solutions that move parts of all kinds safely and save energy at the same time.

Pain, muscle tension or fatigue? Not with Schmalz. The vacuum expert will be presenting intelligent solutions for safe and healthy working at the A+A trade fair in Düsseldorf (November 4 to 7). Trade visitors to stand A07 in hall 5 can find out more about the versatile exoskeletons that support users when lifting and moving goods.
