May 30, 2013 Intended for milling, drilling, and reaming applications, TENDO Platinum is manufactured from tool steel, balanced to G2.5 at 25,000 rpm, and exceeds industry tolerance norms and material specifications. Brazing and hardening contributes to rigidity and durability, while concentric clamping promotes optimal tool performance. With precise run out accuracy of <0.0001 in. at 2.5 x clamping diameter, product protects machine spindle and cutting tool from wear and damage.

Universal Rotary Unit supports high-speed assembly.

May 28, 2013 With lightweight parts, SRU plus 20-S Module enables rotation times starting at 0.3 s and up to 3,700 cycles per hour. Patented shock absorbing system combines elastomer with oil-damped shock absorber. Arranged in stack, damping enables minimized cycle times and maximum number of cycles, as well as rotation of high mass inertias or loads.

Pneumatic Pick and Place Unit operates at up to 120 cycles/min.

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.
