Expansion of series PEH 30/50
SCHUNK has expanded its servo-electric 2-finger parallel gripper of the PEH series to include sizes 30 and 50. This once again significantly expands the application spectrum for this universal long-stroke gripper, because with a maximum stroke of 100 millimeters per finger for the PEH 50, these grippers are now suitable for a large parts spectrum, extending from small components to large workpieces. The robust guides are designed for precise handling even at high loads and they easily withstand high payloads. The gripping force can be adapted to the broad application spectrum – for the PEH 50 as high as 1400 Newtons, with maximum finger lengths of up to 250 millimeters.

SLH 35 assembly element:
Small assembly profile for the modular system
SCHUNK, the clamping and gripping technology specialist based in Lauffen, Germany, has added a new size to its SLH assembly elements for the GEMOTEC modular system, and now also offers elements for pipe columns with a diameter of 35 millimeters. The new assembly system includes components such as single or double mounting bases and plinths, for example, which are used for supporting the hollow columns and are connected to one another by means of cross connectors and assembly plates. The ground and chrome-plated single or double columns allow simple, precise clamping and fastening of the bases and cross connectors. In this way, a variety of assembly versions can be configured using just a few standard elements. Machined locating surfaces and integrated assembly and locating bores guarantee that elements will be fitted with perfect angular precision.

ASP drop blocks for vertical axes
In handling systems, sudden energy losses can lead to considerable damage - not just because grippers can no longer hold their workpieces when the pressure drops, but also because vertically mounted linear modules suddenly lose their grip and commence a rapid journey downwards together with their freight, endangering products, equipment and personnel. Thankfully, SCHUNK, the clamping and gripping specialist based in Lauffen, Germany, provides an effective remedy with its modular ASP drop blocks, which prevent vertically mounted linear modules from falling if there is a loss of pressure. They prevent uncontrolled movements in the event of leakages or emergency stops, thereby increasing the safety of the system as a whole.

Quick-change system with integrated valves
The SWS-I-011 integrated quick-change system from SCHUNK, the clamping and gripping specialist based in Lauffen, Germany, incorporates six rapid-reacting
3/2-way screw-in valves, which replace an entire valve terminal. Instead of a bundle of cables and leads, only one single cable is required for the compressed air supply and one for the power supply - grippers and other tools are actuated by the integrated valves and no longer need separate hoses. The two remaining supply cables can easily be routed inside the arm of Scara robots, and even through center bores only twelve millimeters in diameter.

Formed by laser
SCHUNK, the specialist in toolholding, workholding and gripping technology located in Lauffen, Germany, now offers polyamide gripper fingers and adapter plates. They are manufactured in a laser forming process by LMD, the technology partner of SCHUNK. Components, manufactured by this process can feature very complex geometries, which cannot be produced by metal cutting technologies - or only in an enormous time-consuming and cost-intensive way. For example, complex air feed-throughs can be routed through one-piece workpieces in all three dimensions, without having to set bore holes from the outside.

MAGNOS MAU Magnetic Gripper:
Auto-magic gripping!
SCHUNK, the specialist in toolholding, workholding and gripping technology located in Lauffen, Germany, now offers an innovative way of handling ferromagnetic workpieces. Until now, magnetic clamping technology was mainly used in stationary workholding systems. The MAGNOS MAU magnetic gripper now offers a completely new perspective. Adapted to fit on a robot arm, it ensures a secure hold at very limited space requirements at a low weight. With the MAGNOS magnetic gripper, handling ferromagnetic workpieces is extremely easy. In the process, the electro-permanent magnets can be activated in seconds. Even in case of power outage, the magnet grippers ensure an absolutely secure hold since electricity is only needed to activate and deactivate the magnets.

Everything revolves around the customer
The PRL servo-electric rotary actuator from SCHUNK amtec robotics is freely configurable, thereby allowing flexible robotics solutions to be created to suit individual customer requirements. The PRL enables the creation of reconfigurable, modular robot structures, the individual PRL modules can be assembled with connecting parts with complete freedom and flexibility to produce an individual lightweight arm. Four sizes of modules with different drive torques are available, which can be combined as desired. The PRL is designed as a quill drive, and allows cables and hoses to be routed in a protected manner inside the arm to the front link. In this way, the cables remain invisible and there are no interfering contours.

For safe production
Robots and handling systems stubbornly follow their programmed course, and if something gets in their way, it can rapidly become very expensive. SCHUNK’s new OPS collision and overload protection provides immediate protection from down-times and high costs. It forms the perfect interface between the gripper and the robot arm, and offers reliable, controlled collision and overload protection with manual reset.
