SMC Pneumatics South Africa showcased its innovative offerings to the broader industry for the first time at Electra Mining 2016 and wowed visitors by showcasing its broad range to match an array of industry applications.
The impressive SMC stand was home to 17 demonstration units – once again showcasing its quality, innovation, versatility and broad range (12 000 basic products and over 700 000 variations). These included the FMS-200 training unit – a flexible automation cell which makes use of robotics, pneumatics and hydraulics, and allows trainees to get to grips with the various automation technologies; a pick and place unit to showcase pneumatic technologies in the production line; a large bore cylinder weighing in excess of 170 kg; a crust breaker cylinder flown in from the UK; and much, much more.

“Our first Electra Mining was a great success and we are pleased that we were able to showcase this world renowned brand on African soil and on such a large scale for this prestigious exhibition. I believe that what truly sets us apart is our global culture of listening to, understanding and responding to customers’ needs efficiently,” says general manager, Adrian Buddingh. “Our team is ready, equipped, willing and able to help you find the correct solution, and with such a large footprint, there is no problem that we cannot solve.”
