Vacuum Unit 2024

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive technical description of the Vacuum Unit ZK2mA Series, emphasizing energy-saving ejectors and their applications in vacuum systems. It highlights efficiency improvements, energy savings, and operational features.
Specifications: The ZK2mA Series features energy-saving ejectors that reduce air consumption by up to 93% compared to traditional models. It includes a dual 2-port valve for supply and release, with a self-holding supply valve to maintain vacuum during power outages. The operating pressure range is 0.3 to 0.6 MPa for the release valve.
Energy Efficiency: The ejectors are designed to cut off air supply once the desired vacuum is reached, significantly reducing air consumption and power costs, with an annual cost reduction of 13,365 JPY.
Operational Features: The system supports single communication line control and IO-Link compatibility for enhanced device information reading and parameter settings. It maintains vacuum during power failures, preventing workpiece drops.
Noise Reduction: The series includes a high-noise reduction silencer that improves suction flow and reduces noise levels, particularly in the high-frequency range from 2000 to 20000 Hz.
Installation and Maintenance: Designed for easy maintenance, the unit features one-touch fitting, transparent filter cases for contamination checks, and tool-free replacement of filter elements and sound-absorbing materials.
Wiring and Connectivity: The system supports various wiring types, including D-sub connectors and flat ribbon cable connectors, and is compatible with multiple fieldbus systems like DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP, and EtherNet/IP.
Diagnostic and Monitoring: IO-Link compatible devices provide real-time diagnostics and monitoring capabilities, allowing easy identification of equipment issues through cyclic and noncyclic data.
Applications: The ZK2mA Series is recommended for applications requiring efficient vacuum generation and energy savings, capable of handling workpieces with significant leakage.
Assembly and Installation Procedures: Detailed steps are provided for assembling and installing the unit, emphasizing careful handling of components and correct torque application.
Communication Protocols: The document outlines compatible communication protocols, including DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP, CC-Link, EtherCAT, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP.
Dimensions and Exploded Views: Detailed dimensions and exploded views are provided to aid in understanding the construction and replacement processes.
Ordering Information: Instructions for ordering replacement parts and manifold assemblies are included, specifying part numbers and customization options.
Safety and Compliance: The document emphasizes adherence to safety standards and compliance with international standards like ISO 4414 and IEC 60204-1. It categorizes hazards into three levels: Danger, Warning, and Caution.
Usage Limitations: SMC products are not intended for use in non-manufacturing industries or under conditions outside specified parameters, such as nuclear power or military applications.
Warranty and Export Compliance: The warranty covers product failures due to manufacturing defects for 1 year in service or 1.5 years after delivery. Exporting SMC products is subject to security laws and regulations.
