SMW-electronics Products for digitizing and automating processes
Inductive Coupling Systems
prototypes were available soon after. At the end of 2017, the company received the Industry 4.0 award from the state of Baden-Württemberg for a highly innovative, flexible and digitized clamping system. SMW-electronics and its product range are already proving very popular, so it is very important that the workforce continues to increase in size. The number of employees is expected to grow to more than 30 by 2024. Target markets include machine tools, automation and robotics, electric drive technology, auto- motive, intralogistics, construc- tion machinery and agricultural technology, packaging machinery, energy (oil, gas, wind), aerospace and medical technology.
By combining mechanics, electronics and software, SMW-AUTOBLOK has trans- formed itself from a conventional workholding manufacturer into a high-tech process provider. The product areas of mecha- tronics, contactfree transmission technology, sensor technology and software have been further expanded and brought together into the new, independent business unit SMW-electronics to generate further synergies. The SMW-electronics product portfolio includes inductive coupling systems for energy and signals, smart sensors and mea- suring systems, software, indi- vidual adaptations for customers and mechatronic clamping sys- tems. Signal communication is based on the latest industrial standards such as Ethernet- based bus systems, IO-Link and analogue/digital signals. The special feature of the induc- tive coupling systems is the inno- vative contactfree transmission of energy and signals via an air gap (up to 10 mm). The transmis- sion is inductive from a stationary base unit to a moving remote unit, which can also be integrated into a rotary application. This innovation is intended to help especially where there was previ- ously technically no transmission option or where critical plug or cable connections come into play. Non-metallic objects in the transmission path do not repre- sent an obstacle. SMW-electronics is among the world's leading companies for inductive couplers of this technology. The potential of the new tech- nology was recognised more than five years ago and the first

CC e-motion : The electromechronic 4-jaw chuck with individual jaw drive offers a new standard in the digitization of clamping technology in terms of process optimisation, automation and safety.
Safety and flexibility in clamping technology have taken on a new dimension at SMW-electronics due to the nature of digitization.
This also applies to sustainability: Energy efficiency and the CO ² footprint are optimised.
