SMC launches a new chapter in innovation

SMC, the world’s leading provider of pneumatics, has unveiled its 2014 Innovations Catalogue listing the very latest in cutting-edge automation solutions.

Recognised for the last three years by leading business magazine Forbes as one of the world’s most innovative companies, SMC’s continuous focus on innovation sees the company launch around 40 new products to the European market every year, with 11,000 basic products and more than 620,000 variations.

Innovative design is coupled with outstanding customer support delivered by a team of 1,400 dedicated R&D engineers worldwide.

SMC’s Product Promotions Manager Pete Humphreys said: ‘Innovation and product development has been at the heart of our business since our foundation more than 50 years ago. We recognise that only by investing in R&D can we fulfil our commitment to work in partnership with our customers to improve their processes, cut their energy waste bills and ultimately increase their profitability.

‘Our Innovations Catalogue last year was so well received we have updated it in five European languages, so that our customers can find details of all our key product launches over the last 12 months.’

The Innovations Catalogue is available in French, German, Italian, Spanish and English, providing machine builders and designers with over 100 pages of product solutions for many advanced automation applications.

The products featured include the new SY all-purpose flexible and cost effective solenoid valve, the LFE electromagnetic digital flow switch with a unique 3-colour / 2-screen display for constant visualisation of the switch condition, or the powerful LEJ electricactuator, designed to manage large loads with precision. All products within SMC’s Innovations Catalogue have a QR code, so that product information is easy to access whilst on the move, from smartphones and tablets.
