Quick-adjustment module and clamping unit for assembly systems
With more than 10,000 possible combinations SCHUNK offers the world’s most comprehensive line of modules for high-performance assembly. At the core of the design is a unique support column system consisting of numerous standardized pillar profiles, adapter plates, centering and connecting elements, offering maximum flexibility of the system design. To further expand the application possibilities, the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems now presents two new components:
Fast and precise positioning
The SCHUNK VEH adjusting unit enables especially easy and precise fine adjustment of handling systems. The flat and compact quick-adjustment module can be directly positioned under the bases of Pick & Place units or other handling modules. An Allen key is used to adjust the pick and place positions of the handling system in seconds, both in the linear and the rotative axis. The SCHUNK VEH is ideal for both the SCHUNK SOE single base and the SCHUNK SOD double base, and is available for pillar diameters of 55 mm and 35 mm.
Mounting plate for compact assemblies
The SCHUNK APDA mounting plate expands the already very diverse combination options of the modular system. It allows mounting of components directly above existing pillars in order to produce especially compact solutions. The mounting plate offers diverse mounting options on all five surfaces and is ideal for pillar diameters of 55 mm and 35 mm.
The SCHUNK pillar mounting system allows the combination of diverse handling modules without mechanical adaptation by means of mounting and centering holes, for an exact fit and angular precision as well as safe, stable, and reproducible mounting of components. It can also be used for the installation of cameras, sensors or lighting elements, as well as for the construction of presses and other applications. As opposed to welded frames it offers high flexibility and variability, and compared with aluminum profiles it offers high precision of form and position as well as precise reproducibility when systems are dismantled for maintenance, for example. To ensure high stability and minimal form and position tolerances of 0.02 mm as well as vibration-free movement also in the case of long support columns, all columns are hard chromium-plated and ground. Three pillar diameters are available: 55 mm for robust assembly systems, 35 mm for compact solutions, and 20 mm for reduced-space miniature applications. The lengths are available in 10 mm steps and extend from 100 mm (ø 20 and 35) or 150 mm (ø 55) to 500 mm (ø 20) or up to 1,000 mm (ø 35 and 55). All diameters are in stock at SCHUNK and are only adapted to the required length at the time of ordering.
