Best-known for its flexibility and compatibility with a range of manifolds, SMC’s modular EX600 serial interface offers a full suite of diagnostics and programmable parameters to meet even the most stringent of requirements. Committed to delivering on customer demand, SMC prides itself on having a sufficient stock holding and quick turnaround times on the EX600 series both locally and abroad, thanks to its robust global supply network. SMC Australia and New Zealand group marketing director James McKew says as the world leaders in automation, the company is able to offer superior support to its customers’ businesses. “Understanding that your business cannot afford any downtime or unavailability of parts, SMC prides itself on rapid delivery and total customer satisfaction,” he says. Answering to the call of modern manufacturing, recent design enhancements to the EX600 series has allowed for great success in terms of robotic applications, where the speed of communication is essential. “Included in its broad range of benefits, a new QuickConnect function has also been introduced. This enables the machinery to power up efficiently and to join the EtherNet/IP network,” McKew says. “The EX600 is available in digital input, digital output and analogue input unit options, and available protocols include PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CC-Link, Ethernet I/P and EtherCAT.” Allowing for ease of maintenance and reduced labour time, the EX600 also offers reduced wiring and self-diagnosis functions. “The EX600 is perfectly paired with SMC’s SY series of valve manifolds which is today one of SMC’s top-sellers. It is guaranteed to out-live your machine, achieving up to 200 million cycles when using a metal seal version,” McKew says. SMC reports it has hundreds of units currently in stock locally, with thousands more available for fly in from its global inventories.
