SCHUNK Electronic Solutions has developed MAGNOPLATE – a universal workpiece holder for depanelling machines that places magnetic carrier pins with a milling head on a support plate. This results in lightning-fast brackets for new assembly groups. The advantage for users: You start new jobs faster without having to wait for the time-consuming production of suitable workpiece carriers.
Cutting tool and tooling system specialist Sandvik Coromant has introduced a high-precision hydraulic chuck for turning operations that offers the market’s best pull-out security. CoroChuck® 935 has been designed to deliver fast, rigid and secure clamping, time after time.
For the first time ever, the SCHUNK VERO-S quick-change pallet system can be used to clamp flat workpieces directly in the SCHUNK VERO-S quick-change pallet system. This results in completely new possibilities for machining thin workpieces, mold halves or free-form parts in machining metalworking, in tool and mold making, as well as in structural and chassis components for the aerospace industry.
The SCHUNK ROTA NCE lightweight chuck ensures high dynamics during the turning process. For the first time ever, it has been possible to combine a lightweight design, maximum bearing load capacity, and a large chuck bore in a single lathe chuck.
Starting now, pneumatically actuated SCHUNK TANDEM KSP plus clamping force blocks can be directly joined to the SCHUNK VERO-S quick-change pallet system via standardized base plates.
To further increase operating comfort, all SCHUNK MAGNOS square pole plates are equipped with a status display from now on by default. It displays the current clamping status continuously, even when the magnetic chuck has been disconnected from the control and is in a pallet storage with clamped workpiece for instance. SCHUNK is also putting a modular designed control unit onto the market, which gives users a high degree of flexibility and operating comfort. The SCHUNK MAGNOS KEH plus is universally suitable for all SCHUNK square and radial pole plates. One, two, four or eight magnetic chucks can be actuated at the same time, depending on the basic version.
The attractively priced SCHUNK pull-down jaw SNB promises high accuracy on the workpiece, minimal cleaning effort and a longer service life. Unlike previous chuck jaw systems on the market with active pull-down function, the SCHUNK SNB is built in one piece. This ensures a particularly precise workpiece support, a repeatable zero point independent of the clamping force present, increased stability when machining as well as minimal wear.
Tungaloy is expanding TungTurn-Jet, a family of high-pressure, coolant-through toolholders, to include parting-off and external threading toolholders, with the DirectTung-Jet capability for high efficiency in Swiss lathe applications.
SCHUNK is now offering a freely programmable and universally applicable magnetic switch with ATEX certification for device group II, category 2 for monitoring gripping systems in potentially explosive areas. The MMS 22-PI1-EX has a freely programmable switching point and detects a magnet inside of the actuator. It can be placed directly in the C-slot of the gripping or rotary modules with no interfering contours. Instead of time-consuming mechanical adjustment of the switching point, the magnetic sensor can be programmed in just a few steps. The required magnetic teaching tool is included in the scope of delivery. An optional plug-in teaching tool is also available. The corresponding switching condition is indicated on an LED display. Thanks to the standard plug connector, the sensor can be easily connected with standardized connection cables.
With a wide range of lightweight initiatives with chuck jaws, SCHUNK is breathing new life into turning applications. The competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology is now offering a range of diverse claw and stepped jaw models for raw part clamping from the world’s largest range of standard chuck jaws also optionally as a lightweight version.
