Compensation Units enable precise handling.
July 8, 2009 -
Designed to mount to PGN+ and PZN+ grippers, Model AGE-F uses self-centering spring force to compensate for deviations up to 5 mm in X- and Y-axis. Unit features cross roller guides and operates purely mechanically, without pneumatic elements. Utilizing elastomer pads, Model AGE-E compensates for deviations up to 4 mm in X- and Y-axis with angular compensation up to 3.5°. Unit mounts directly to PGN+, PZN+, JGP, and JGZ grippers from sizes 50-200.

New Compensation Units for Precise Handling
SCHUNK, Inc. is introducing two new compensation units. The AGE-F compensation unit is self centering using spring force and compensates for deviations up to 5mm in the X- and Y-axis. Three different spring rates are available for each of the four sizes, which can be preloaded to specific values using an adjustment screw. Equipped with cross roller guides, the AGE-F operates purely mechanically, without any pneumatic elements. This allows for smooth running, lower susceptibility to wear and longer life. In addition, by being designed to mount directly to PGN+ and PZN+ grippers and have robot ISO flanges on the opposite mounting surface, the AGE-F offers a very slim solution.
The AGE-E compensation unit utilizes elastomer pads which allow the unit to compensate for deviations up to 4mm in the X- and Y-axis and angular compensation of up to 3.5°. Also, the optional pneumatic centering lock allows the unit to be held rigidly on-center when needed. The AGE-E is available for direct mounting to PGN+, PZN+, JGP and JGZ grippers from sizes 50 up to 200. Depending on the gripper being used, the maximum handling weight the AGE-E can handle ranges up to 24 kg.
