Vacuum Unit Ejector System Vacuum Pump System Supply valve: An N.O. specification has been added. An IO-Link compatible pressure switch has been added. ∗1 Supposing the supply pressure is being maintained ¡Allows for ejector control with a single communication line ¡Reading of the device information and parameter batch settings are possible. ¡Can hold vacuum∗1 even when the power goes out or is turned off ¡Prevents the sudden dropping of workpieces∗1 Air supply is cut-off when vacuum is reached. Energy saving ejector Air consumption 93% reduction Reduced by the pressure switch for vacuum with energy saving function and efficient ejectors (Under SMC’s measurement conditions) More efficient ejector Suction flow (Compared to other SMC 1-stage ejectors) Wiring variations Fieldbus system D-sub connector Flat ribbon cable connector Individual wiring

Vacuum Unit ZK2mA Series Energy Saving Ejector Energy saving is possible due to the pressure switch for vacuum with energy saving function. Air consumption More efficient ejector ∗1 Based on SMC’s measurement conditions While the suction signal is ON, the ON/OFF operation of the supply valve is also performed automatically within the set value. Energy saving ejector Existing model Air is supplied and exhausted continuously during the adsorption of the workpiece. Vacuum port pressure (Compared to other SMC 1-stage ejectors) Air is supplied and exhausted intermittently when the vacuum...

Vacuum Unit ZK2mA Series Piping Wiring Installation time reduced!! Dual 2-port valve (Supply valve/Release valve) M Supply valve: Self-holding∗1 Even if there is a power cut, the vacuum is maintained as long as there is supply air. q The vacuum is maintained during power failure as long as air is supplied. This can prevent the workpiece from being dropped. w The unit turns on by instantaneous energizing (minimum 20 ms.). Continuous energizing is not necessary. This can reduce the power consumption. M Linked supply and release valves operation∗1 The self-holding type supply valve will be...
