Vention partners with SMC to enable digital engineering of pneumatic equipment

By

Vention, a next-generation machine design platform, is proud to announce the launch of its pneumatic solutions in partnership with SMC, an industry leader in pneumatic technology for machine automation. The SMC pneumatic plug-and-play system was developed to seamlessly integrate with Vention’s cloud CAD (MachineBuilder 3D) and motion control platform (MachineMotion controller and MachineLogic cloud software).

Vention SMC ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟs partnershipVention’s cloud-based platform allows anyone to design, order and assemble industrial-grade machines in just days. The new pneumatics integration enables an even broader range of applications to be designed and built with Vention in record-breaking time. ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ solutions are useful in a variety of automated equipment contexts, notably, automated aerospace fixtures, robot cells, complex conveying applications, and custom manufacturing equipment.

β€œWe’re excited to be adding pneumatics solutions to our offering and expanding the type of projects we can develop with it,” says Etienne Lacroix, Vention’s founder and CEO. β€œWe looked for a credible industry leader who could provide reliable and high-performance products that would integrate seamlessly with the Vention ecosystem. SMC was the obvious choice. This partnership will provide exceptional value to our clients.”

Vention’s pneumatic solutions include an air preparation station, dual-acting compact cylinders available in 100 mm and 200 mm stroke variants, tubes of various lengths, and one-, two-, three- and four-valve manifolds operated via Vention’s MachineMotion controller and MachineLogic software.

β€œOur partnership with SMC brings the best of the Vention platform together,” says Max Windisch, Co-founder and CTO at Vention. β€œUsers of Vention, will be able to design pneumatic equipment online, develop and simulate the logic of their machine in the same environment, and deploy their pneumatic sequence directly to their shop floor, without having to install or learn proprietary software or programming language. ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ projects will be greatly simplified as a result.”
