Highlighting VMECA’s cutting-edge solutions for industrial vacuum handling applications – a firm favourite among automation engineers and production specialists…
Lunch & Learn at AIR Wakefield
As Simmatic continues its mission to bring smart, efficient, and sustainable automation to UK industries, the roadshow provides customers with hands-on access to our most in-demand products – none are creating more buzz than the VMECA range.
What’s the VMECA Buzz All About?
VMECA is known globally for its high-performance vacuum solutions, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing environments. Whether it’s food and beverage, packaging, automotive, or electronics, VMECA’s intelligent vacuum technology delivers where traditional systems fall short. The Simmatic Product Overview Roadshow allows Engineers to get up close with a range of VMECA solutions, including:
🟢 Magic Grippers
VMECA’s Magic Grippers are fully integrated vacuum generators and grippers in one compact, customisable unit. Engineers are impressed by their modular design, which allows for quick adaptation to various tasks — ideal for handling irregular, delicate, or porous items.
🟢 Magic Cups
The Magic Cup system provides superior sealing capabilities, even on challenging surfaces. Whether it’s film-wrapped packaging or uneven objects, Magic Cups combine strength and flexibility to maintain a secure hold and reduce downtime.
🟢 Turtle Pumps
Turtle Pumps are compact, high-performance vacuum generators designed to streamline industrial automation by integrating multiple components into a single unit. Their modular design reduces the complexity and cost of vacuum handling systems, making them ideal for applications such as bag opening, carton erecting, package handling, and labelling.
Hands-On Experience That Makes the Difference
One of the standout aspects of Simmatic’s Lunch & Learn Roadshow is the ability to try out products in real-world scenarios. Our technical experts are on-site to demonstrate how VMECA technology can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and how it solves common pain points like inconsistent pick rates, excessive air usage, or complex setup requirements. Customers love seeing live demos of vacuum systems handling tricky materials. Simmatic can advise you on products from fragile baked goods to heavy automotive parts and witness the reliability of VMECA in action.
Why It Matters
In a competitive industrial landscape, businesses are looking for every possible edge. VMECA’s vacuum technology, as demonstrated through the Simmatic Roadshow, offers:
