SMC offers a comprehensive line of pneumatic products which both meet and exceed the automotive industry's demanding manufacturing requirements. The result is a robust pneumatic system capable of continuous 24/7 operation, efficient production ramp up and operating in extreme temperatures & weld environments.

SMC products address the challenge of providing maximum performance while minimizing energy costs and downtime. The sampling of products below demonstrates how SMC continually innovates to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry. Featured products are categorized for body and powertrain assembly.

SMC products support efficient automation for processing and packaging applications. They feature hygienic and environment resistant designs, with energy savings and safety in mind. Our pneumatic systems are capable of meeting diverse food/beverage processing and packaging requirements such as, continuous 24/7 operation, stringent hygiene regulations, continual wash down, and operation in extreme temperatures.

In semiconductor manufacturing processes, etching equipment, sputtering equipment, ion implantation equipment, and CVD equipment generally process wafers in a vacuum chamber. Precision equipment is needed to exhaust air from and supply atmospheric pressure to the vacuum chamber. High quality SMC products such as valves, regulators, pressure switches, cylinders and gate valves meet strict requirements such as non-leakage, clean specification, and corrosion resistance.

The featured products below are categorized for reference under: N₂ Gas/Air Supply Line, Cooling Water & Temperature Control Line, Transfer Line, Process Chamber Exhaust Line, and the Load-Lock Chamber Exhaust Line.

SMC manufactures a wide array of automation technologies for machine builders. Compressed air, coolants, and other fluids must be filtered, monitored, distributed and temperature controlled. We offer a complete range of world-class actuators, valves, sensors, industrial filters, fittings, regulators, temperature control devices, and more.
