Flat power pack for precise serial production
Highest clamping force with greatest jaw stroke and lowest height at the same time. With the power chuck SCHUNK ROTA NCO, this combination, which so far is unique on the lathe chuck market, “only” ensures more space in the engine room, short cycle times, and high versatility. In times of rapidly rising electricity prices, the powerful lathe chuck from Mengen now proves itself to be also very energy efficient. Thanks to an integrated media feed-through, the precision lathe chuck also allows a choice of central lubrication, central coolant supply, or air control. The continuous high precision even at large diameters testifies to the high quality of the inner workings.

TENDO-ES: The Powerhouse of Hydraulic Expansion Toolholders
extremely short hydraulic expansion holder TENDO-ES from SCHUNK is now available as standard for the BT 40 interface. With the TENDO-ES, the tool is clamped directly in the mounting taper. This way, the tool shank is supported via the spindle. With an L1 dimension of 26,0 mm, the TENDO-ES is extremely short. The result is the highest holding forces for transferable high torques and a great deal of additional space in the machining area.

The UNILOCK NSA series ensures process reliability and
high-precision quick change clamping in automated production
Automated machine loading offers significant rationalisation potential in metal-cutting production. The clamping devices are subject to an extensive range of requirements: They should position and fix the workpieces in place with high precision in a matter of seconds, guaranteeing absolutely secure clamping during machining with a compact construction that takes up as little machine space as possible. At the same time they should simplify workpiece changing and, above all, provide a reliable, clean and chip-free support surface. This is an essential prerequisite for round-the-clock production in automated operation. The NSA series of the SCHUNK UNILOCK quick-change pallet system combines all these requirements, creating optimum conditions for process reliability and automated workpiece change. All three modules of the series are designed to meet demanding continuous operation and guarantee high-precision repeat accuracy < 0.005 mm.

SCHUNK UNILOCK quick-change pallet system offers significant savings potential in the welding shop
The SCHUNK UNILOCK quick-change pallet system can be reliably installed on welding fixtures without an additional ground plane. This was proved in intensive testing carried out by TÜV Süd on behalf of the toolholding and workholding specialist SCHUNK based in Lauffen. Under the harshest conditions the inspectors established that the contact points between the test set-up and quick-change pallet system as well as the clamping points between clamping slide and clamping bolt withstand the welding process. By passing this test the SCHUNK UNILOCK quick-change pallet system can also significantly reduce the set-up costs in the welding shop both now and in the future.

Hybrid chuck boosts productivity during grinding and turning
Two technologies in one: the ROTA NCM from SCHUNK combines a classic self-centering chuck and a round magnetic clamping plate. The results of this synthesis are impressive: on pneumatic grinders and lathes, ROTA NCM reduces set-up times by up to 80 percent, which means a significant boost in productivity. But that is not enough. The workpieces keep their shape due to planar clamping. Machining is even possible from three sides with no vibration or deformation whatsoever.
