The new SMC CRP series compact mobile compressor presents new opportunities for design engineers needing a mobile pneumatic compressor. Significantly, this innovative product eliminates the need for a centralised air source and requires only a 24V D.C. power supply.
It offers the seamless integration of pneumatic components into mobile applications. By pushing the technology, the mobile pneumatic compressor delivers discharge pressures up to 0.55 MPa and vacuum pressures down to -70 kPa. Indeed, the CRP series effectively facilitates pneumatic operations on the move, overcoming traditional limitations.
This makes it an indispensable tool for applications where no air source is available. Applications include robots and collaborative robots (cobots) mounted on AGVs or AMRs (autonomous mobile robots). Moreover, it offers designers unparalleled versatility as both a compact compressor and a vacuum pump simply by altering the pipe connections.
Engineered for Optimised Size and Performance
The CRP compressor is 154 mm wide, 134 mm tall and 100 mm depth, weighing a mere 3.5 kg. This compact footprint makes it an ideal choice for applications where space and weight constraints are critical. It is also suitable for mounting either vertically or horizontally.
Furthermore, maintenance becomes a thing of the past as the oil-free design enhances uptime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Depending on the environment and system requirements, users can even eliminate the need for a mist separator, reducing overall costs.
Benefits of this Mobile Pneumatic Compressor
Quiet Operation
Equipped with silencers, the CRP series emits noise levels as low as 55 dB, making it suitable for quiet environments such as laboratories and sampling areas.
Continuous Operation
Designed for continuous use without overheating, the compressor includes alarm functions for machine troubleshooting.
Flexible Mounting Options
Supports both horizontal and vertical mounting to accommodate various installation requirements.
SMC CRP Series Compact Mobile Pneumatic Compressor Applications:
The SMC CRP series is versatile enough for a wide range of industry applications, especially where systems need both positive and negative pressures and are without a dedicated air supply. Ideal applications include:
- Mobile robots and cobots
- Automotive component handling systems
- Transportation of rivets or bolts in pneumatic-free environments
- Laboratory sample preparation and sealing
- General pressurisation of machines lacking an air source
The new SMC CRP series mobile pneumatic compressor overcomes challenges in these and many other applications, delivering high performance in an extremely compact and maintenance-free package.
