SMC ZK2B15R5CLA-06-K ZK2A Series Ejector System Vacuum Unit

Supply Valve Configuration: Incorporated with a normally open (N.O.) supply valve specification, this ejector unit reliably holds vacuum even in power outages or when the power is off, assuming supply pressure is maintained. This feature effectively prevents sudden dropping of workpieces during operation interruptions, ensuring process stability and safety.

IO-Link Compatible Pressure Switch: Equipped with a state-of-the-art IO-Link pressure switch, the unit enables ejector control over a single communication line while facilitating reading of device information and batch parameter settings. This integration enhances diagnostics and simplifies system configuration, fostering advanced automation compatibility.

System Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with both ejector systems and vacuum pump systems, this vacuum unit allows flexible application across various industrial setups, providing versatility in manufacturing process designs.

Energy-saving Performance: Although this unit does not incorporate the energy-saving function, the ZK2A series ejector family utilizes air supply cut-off when vacuum is reached technique, achieving up to 93% reduction in air consumption under standard SMC test conditions, significantly lowering operational costs and resource usage.

Enhanced Suction Efficiency: Compared to standard single-stage ejectors from SMC, this unit provides a 50% increase in suction flow, improving vacuum generation efficiency and supporting faster, more reliable pick-and-place or handling operations.

Noise Reduction: Incorporation of a high-noise reduction silencer results in reduced operational noise and improved suction flow consistency, contributing to better workplace environment and equipment longevity.
