New Products
SMAC continuously adds new models to its product range. Listed below are recent products developed to meet
emerging technological demands and specific customer requests. These units are currently available but not yet
considered standard models and therefore subject to change. Outline drawings are available on the SMAC
website or from your local SMAC representative.

Electric Cylinder
CA Series
The CA series of electric cylinders have been designed f or the most demanding of automation tasks in
mind and are the f irst real linear motors challenge to pneumatic dev ices.

They offer a long life cycle and much more precise & repeatable f orce control and positioning than
conv entional pneumatic devices. Conventional shape and mounting f it exactly where standard pneumatic
cy linders are currently used. Please refer to the CA catalog f or more detail.

The SMAC Advantages
• Absolute control over: force, position, acceleration and velocity.
• Direct drive actuator, therefore a very high degree of accuracy & repeatability.
• Integrated position measuring system with glass scale and optical reader head (no wear).
• Very long lifetime due to oversized linear guides.
• Indirect force measurement with the current (switch test).
• Digital and analog in/output channels.
• Ability to switch in between operations: force, position and velocity mode at any time.
• Extremely high acceleration and velocity.
• Unique “Soft-Land” function

Programmable Features
The actuator is totally programmable for force, acceleration and velocity. It can operate in three different modes:

Force Mode: Force Mode is open loop, using no feed back from the encoder. The actual position is still monitored but
has no effect upon the output.

Velocity Mode: Velocity Mode allows the actuating rod to be moved with a given velocity, acceleration, force and
direction. Typically used for a “Soft-Land” routine.

Position Mode: Position Mode will allow the actuating rod to be moved to various positions along the stroke using
acceleration, velocity and force. It is possible to make absolute, relative and “learned position” moves.

What is a Soft-Land?
The “Soft-Land” is a routine which allows the actuator rod
or gripper jaw to land on the surface of component with a
low programmable force. This is particularly useful
wherever delicate or high value components are being
handled.

The routine consists of a controlled low force approach in

velocity mode, whilst the position error is constantly
monitored. Once contact is made the position error builds
up until a pre-programmed figure is reached - resulting in
the rod maintaining position on the surface of the
component.

Moving Coil Technology
(Voice Coil)
At the heart of all SMAC actuators is the moving coil, also described as a
voice coil actuator. The principle is essentially the same as you will find in
any permanent magnet loudspeaker. The coil is enclosed in a magnet
housing, and by passing a current through the coil, a magnetic field is
generated.

The amount of force generated is governed by the equation

FαNIB
where;
F is the force generated
N is the number of turns in the winding (Constant)
I is the current flowing through the winding and
B is the magnetic flux (Constant)

Therefore, doubling I (current) doubles F (Force).

SMAC is pleased to introduce its range of Multi-Axis controls solutions. These systems deliver the capability to learn
and follow a 3D contour or motion path, with a high degree of speed, precision, accuracy and repeatability. All
combinations of SMAC actuators can be used: linear, linear/rotary, linear slide, and XY stage axis.

Ideal applications are measuring and testing (QC), dispensing (Bonding), machining (CNC), scoring and cutting, to
name a few. SMAC Multi-Axis 3D sy stems are unique — they enable total programmability of speed, position and
force all at the same time with an exceptional degree of accuracy and repeatability. SMAC Multi-Axis Systems offer a
wide variety of solutions with a range of highly flexible control interfaces.

Multipole Actuators
These actuators are equipped with several coils and magnets. This allows us to increase the stroke up to 600mm and
increases the acceleration up to 10G. The typical application for such an actuator is the transport of a smaller
actuator. Normally multipoles are used in in pick & place applications to reach very short cycle times.
Please contact our technical office for further information on multipole actuators.

Controllers / Amplifiers
SMAC can supply a range of single and multi axis controllers together with stand alone amplifiers and stepper driven
driver. Controllers are programmed by mnemonic type command instructions via an RS-232 interface into NVRAM.
They require no supplementary software.
