The EGL-C long-stroke gripper is a milestone in human-robot collaboration. Due to integrated intelligence, collaborative applications at gripping forces of up to 450 N can be implemented.

What do the tire pressure of a car and the clamping force of a lathe chuck have in common? Both should be checked regularly to ensure the maximum process safety and efficiency in daily use. The new versatile clamping force tester IFT is designed for this purpose.

The SCHUNK VERO-S NSE mikro 49-13 is suitable for metal cutting applications; but also for test applications and in the field of automation.

Whether narrow, thin or bulky ferromagnetic workpieces are to be clamped for a milling application, square pole plates sometimes reach their limits, since not all the poles are covered, and the magnetic field is not balanced.

"We are experiencing a fundamental change in industrial production towards smart, intelligent processes – from initial planning and configuration, including commissioning and as ongoing operation and maintenance," Henrik A. Schunk, Managing Partner and CEO of gripping system and clamping technology specialist SCHUNK stressed at the end of the SPS 2019.

SCHUNK launches a new generation of universally applicable mechatronic rotary modules with the ERT rotary unit for compact space requirements. It is wear- and maintenance-free, flexible and precise, and allows dynamic rotational movements.

Industrial gripping is about to undergo a fundamental upheaval. Whereas until now the pickup and depositing positions of workpieces, their geometry and the relevant gripping parameters always needed to be defined manually, in future gripping systems will handle the widest variety of gripping tasks of their own accord.

The sensory quick-change pallet module SCHUNK VERO-S NSE-S3 138, allows maximum transparency on the clamping situation during the ongoing operation. Pull-down force, position of the clamping slide, and pallet presence can be continuously monitored.
