Oct 23, 2012 PPU-P comes with valve control unit (VCU) that minimizes compressed air and energy consumption while accelerating cycle frequency; 5–9 micro valves use one air line connected to back of VCU. With cycle times down to 20 msec, VCU can also control gripper on PPU-P. Horizontal and vertical motion of PPU-P unit overlap and are positively driven by curved roller cam. At 145 mm horizontal stroke, 45 mm vertical stroke (20 mm linear), and up to 1 kg moving mass, unit achieves 0.63 sec cycle time.

Hydraulic Expansion Toolholder maximizes force, flexibility.

Oct 23, 2012 Allowing tool to be clamped directly in mounting taper, TENDO-ES allows tool shank to be supported via spindle. This results in max holding forces, transferable torque, and space conservation. TENDOS-ES L1 is 26.0 mm and has run-out accuracy of less than 0.003 mm; tools can be changed in seconds with Allen key. Available for SK 40 and CAT 40 interfaces, TENDO-ES offers clamping diameter of ¾ in. Flexibility is ensured due to use of intermediate sleeves.

Stroke Module offers repeat accuracy of 0.01 mm.

Sep 17, 2012 Featuring rigid design and hydraulic dampening of end positions, Model HLM is suited for automated assembly. Pre-clamped, scope-free cross roller guidances assure high guiding accuracy and precision. Available in 4 sizes with strokes from 0–150 mm, module provides feed rates to 482 N and torsional moment to 81.7 Nm. Stroke can be continuously fine-adjusted per side by up to 25 mm. In case of power outage, clamping cartridge prevents lowering of slide.

Rotary Module includes center hole for cable feed through.

Aug 22, 2012 Available in 3 diameters of 135, 170, and 210 mm, Model ERS is based on torque motor with hollow shaft for wear-free operation. Electric rotary module can be used as freely programmable rotary indexing table, as workpiece support for laser welding machines, or as axis of rotation for grippers in gantries. Any intermediate position can be approached at repeat accuracy of 0.02°. With optionally integrated pneumatic holding brake, individual positions can be fixed.

Grippers integrate distance and presence sensor.

Jul 20, 2012 Directly integrated into gripping center of PGN-plus Universal Gripper and MPG-plus Gripper for small components, OAS optical sensor continuously supplies control unit with information, such as how far away component is located, or if part is being securely gripped. IP65-rated sensor works with IR light at wavelength of 850 nm and operates from 14-131°F. Multi-functional device can be combined with other grippers and automation modules.

Universal Magnetic Switch offers programmable gripper monitoring.

Jul 20, 2012 Suited for monitoring grippers during handling and assembly, MMS 22-PI1 magnetic switch inserts into actuator, while separate, wired or contact-free teach tool is held up to program it. Switching point can be individually adjusted. Sensor inserts into C-slot of gripper, eliminating interference with actuator, while gripper direction and hysteresis can be set, optimizing position monitoring at short strokes. Unit can also differentiate workpieces of different sizes.

Angular Gripper features gripping moments from 3.5-143 Nm.

Jun 29, 2012 Available in 3 sizes for workpiece weights from 0.5-7.3 kg, Model PWG-plus features 15° stroke per finger and at least 3° travel tension angle per jaw. Unit combines double oval piston drive, one-piece aluminum housing, and virtually wear-free lever mechanism. Gripper is suitable for applications in clean and slightly dirty environments, and especially for handling of crankshafts and camshafts, as well as for gantry loading of interlinked machining centers.

Milling Toolholder features maintenance-free design.

Schunk    Morrisville, NC 27560
Jun 29, 2012 Well suited for rough milling, SINO-R Universal Toolholder is based on expansion technology system with solid body and pressure medium, clamping cutting tool using actuation wrench. Combination of radial rigidity and dampening characteristics ensure smooth running of tool. SINO-R holds tool securely, with max torque transmission of 627 lb-ft and clamping diameter of 1.25 in.

Magnetic Chucks feature radial pole pitch.

Jun 19, 2012 Utilizing electrically activated permanent magnets, MAGNOS Radial Pole Plates enable exact machining of thin-walled rings on rotary tables, cylindrical grinding machines, and lathes. Workpiece can be machined from 3 sides without changeover and since magnetic field is active up to outer fringe areas, extremely large workpieces can be clamped securely and deformation-free. Due to 2-dimensional acting holding force, vibrations are minimized during machining.

Angular Gripper can be used in any industry and environment.
