Centrically compensating 4-jaw chucks are used for clamping a wide range of workpiece geometries precisely and efficiently on mill/turn centers: round as well as square, rectangular or geometrically unshaped.

Because a number of trade shows were cancelled, SCHUNK is visiting their customers with demo material on site now: The SCHUNK Roadshow will offer the opportunity of getting an in-depth look into the world of gripping systems.

Those who are new to automation and seasoned pros alike consider many factors, including cost, when choosing new product for automating their processes.

Open Source is the magic word that should move digitalization of industrial processes forward: The foundation of the technology association "Industrial Digital Twin Association", the two associations VDMA (German Engineering Association) and ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturer's Association) should pave the way to a real mass start towards industry 4.0.

Flat, precise, power density: the universally deployable, mechatronic rotary unit SCHUNK ERT enables uniform, flexible and dynamic rotary movements that are virtually wear and maintenance-free within compact spaces. Even with the optionally available brake, which is actuated directly via the controller, the height of the SCHUNK ERT remains unchanged. This is a novelty on the market and creates excellent prerequisites for the most compact assembly and handling applications in the field of electronics, medical technology, laboratory technology, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and solar industry, but also for space-optimized applications in the field of mechanical engineering, laser machining or for packaging processes.

The gripper technology ADHESO from SCHUNK results from a closer look at nature: With the help of adhesive forces, geckos are moving head first over smooth surfaces for millions of years. Now, the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology systematically uses this principle for developing various fields of handling applications.

SCHUNK is entering a new era of toolholding: In September, delivery of the sensory hydraulic expansion toolholder iTENDO, the most sensitive toolholder on the market, will begin.

Experts in more and more industries discover the benefits of automation and robotics, and this also applies to the medical technology. Previously, manual and sometimes error-prone processes can be automatically completed now with the help of automation, and associated processed can be optimized.

The compact, spring-actuated TANDEM KSF plus clamping force blocks require no media supply, and are therefore ideal for storage solutions.

The robot deburring tool SCHUNK CDB allows automated deburring in style of the manual deburring processes. The proven deburring tools such as deburring blades and holders, can be further used.
