SMC ZL6MN06-K15LOZD-VBW ZL3/ZL6 Series Multistage Ejector With Valve and Pressure Switch Featuring Energy Saving Function

SMC’s ZL6MN06-K15LOZD-VBW is an advanced multistage vacuum ejector engineered for industrial automation and manufacturing processes requiring precise vacuum control and energy efficiency. It integrates the robust ZL3/ZL6 series ejector platform, enhanced with an IO-Link compatible vacuum pressure switch, valve assembly, and energy-saving features.

• Integrated IO-Link Compatible Vacuum Pressure Switch: Enables seamless communication via a single line for real-time monitoring and control of vacuum levels. Supports batch parameter setting and device information reading to optimize system diagnostics and maintenance remote management capabilities.
• Multistage Ejector Design: The unit incorporates a multistage ejector mechanism to achieve superior vacuum generation efficiency with maximum suction flow rates up to 600 L/min (ANR), suitable for high-demand applications requiring stable large flow vacuum supply.
• Energy Saving Functionality: Air consumption is drastically reduced by approximately 91% compared to conventional models (ZL3, ZL6), achieved through the integration of the vacuum pressure switch with energy-saving control and optimized ejector efficiency. This reduction significantly lowers compressed air usage and operational costs.
• Compact and Lightweight Construction: The product features a substantial weight reduction of up to 60% compared to previous models (from 450 g to 180 g), facilitating easier installation, handling, and integration into compact manufacturing setups without compromising performance.
• Technical Specifications:
  • Standard supply pressure: 0.5 MPa (max)
  • Vacuum port size: Rc 3/4
  • Supply port tubing outer diameter: 8 mm (metric)
  • Electrical rating: 24 VDC with L plug connector (without connector variant available)
  • Combination of supply and release valve: Normally closed valves (K1 type)
  • Output type: IO-Link communication for interface interoperability
  • Exhaust: Integrated silencer for noise reduction
• Applications: Ideal for use in automated handling, packaging, semiconductor manufacturing, and other industrial fields where precise, energy-efficient vacuum generation and remote monitoring are critical.

The ZL6MN06-K15LOZD-VBW is designed to meet stringent industrial automation demands, combining high flow capacity, smart sensor integration, and impressive energy savings. Its IO-Link capability enables Industry 4.0 connectivity, supporting data-driven process optimization and reducing maintenance downtime.
