Specialized Collet Chucks target automotive applications.

Featuring 3 in. diameter, hydraulically actuated, internal grip Collet Chucks mount on tilting table to drill angled hole. Fixed stop pad picks up inner face of automotive work piece while chuck expands and pulls back to grip part. Chucks repeat to 1/10,000 T.I.R. and have low profile that enables 8 chucks on one table.

Quick-Change Pallet System delivers high repeat accuracy.

With functional components of hardened stainless steel and repeat accuracy of less than 5 microns, VERO-S module features dual clamping stroke and integrated turbo function that enable pull-in/retention force up to 9,000 lb. Locking is mechanical via spring package, and holding forces are rated to 16,800 lb. For opening module, 85 psi pneumatic pressure is sufficient. Product clamps workpieces,...

TCU Compensation Unit

Automatic insertion or gripping of precise components is often a challenge. To be successful, the components have to be exactly aligned with one another. This results in high investment for the customer to ensure proper alignment. Even if components have very tight tolerances, it can be difficult to find the mounting or insertion position reliably. With the TCU compensation unit from SCHUNK, the...
