About

About Schmalz

Schmalz develops vacuum generators, suction cups, grippers and handling systems for automated and manual material movement. Schmalz engineers vacuum components from individual suction cups and ejectors through complete layer and area grippers. The company applies the same vacuum technology to cobots, packaging, electronics, logistics and ergonomic manual handling, with application engineering and a large reusable documentation library.

Its current documentation covers product selection, system integration and support for manufacturers and logistics, with applications and configuration limits tied to the relevant hardware or software family.
