At Schmalz, we have established an adsorption test room (commonly known as "Vaculab") to make more reliable judgments and proposals for adsorption solutions. Until now, we have conducted numerous adsorption test services using actual workpieces, supporting optimal equipment selection and implementation considerations. Similar test rooms have also been set up at our Kansai and Nagoya sales offices, and they have been well received by our customers. This time, we have introduced the large robot "M410iC/500" for the customizable general-purpose hand "SPZ/SSP," which we started offering in April. The "M-410iC/500" is a multi-joint robot widely used in the logistics field. It boasts a payload capacity of 500 kg, making it suitable for transporting heavy items. This allows for operational checks to be conducted in-house at Schmalz for large hands, such as the "SPZ/SSP," for which performance testing before delivery was previously difficult.

The vacuum equipment manufacturer Schmalz Group has acquired the UK-based stainless steel vacuum lifter and crane specialist "Palamatic" and the Sweden-based electric manipulator and rope balancer specialist "Binar Handling."
