Workholding, toolholding and automation at Northern Manufacturing
Schunk will be showing a multitude of new products alongside some of its established market favourites. At the Manchester show, the innovator in workholding, toolholding and automation will be drawing visitors’ attention to the impressive TENDO E Compact hydraulic expansion toolholder. Capable of reducing set-up times by up to 60% whilst generating 2000Nm of torque, the TENDO E Compact delivers micron precision for a host of machining applications. With this precision toolholder, even demanding applications with tight tolerances on the form, position and surface finish can be rapidly and reliably machined.
For workholding applications, Schunk will demonstrate a number of products that will include the flexible manual ROTA-S chuck with its optimised wedge bar drive system and improved lubricant system that ensures consistently high clamping forces. The ROTA-S chuck ensures higher rotational speeds and cutting speeds are possible and it gives users the opportunity to utilise more efficient cutting strategies that shorten the manufacturing time.
For show visitors interested in robotics and gripping applications, Schunk will be showing just a few of its globally renowned gripping products. Representing the gripping range at Northern Manufacturing will be the MPG-plus miniature parallel gripper.
