3.1 Mini compact terminal description
The Schmalz mini compact terminal SCTMi, or SCTMi for short, is a compact unit of multiple vacuum gen-
erators known as ejectors. Thanks to its modular design, up to 16 individual ejectors can be controlled and
configured independently. It can be used to handle different parts simultaneously and independently us-
ing just one vacuum system.
3.2 Description of the Ejector
Every SCTMi mini compact ejector has an electrical connection to the voltage supply and to communica-
tion with the control for the superordinate machine.
The compressed air supply can be connected centrally for all ejectors. As an alternative, there can also be
a compressed air supply for each ejector.
3.2.1 Depositing the Workpiece/Part (Blowing Off)
In blow-off mode, the vacuum circuit of the ejector is supplied with compressed air. This ensures that the
vacuum drops quickly, allowing the workpiece to be deposited quickly.
During blow-off, [
