Schunk at the SPS 2023
Safe handling of heavy pallets
Schunk has further expanded its range of pneumatic robot couplings for pallet handling. The 'Vero-S NSR3 138' robot coupling handles heavy pallet weights reliably.
With the robot module, Schunk is launching a dimensionally stable module with high pull-in forces that can absorb higher torques (My = 1,500 Nm and Mz = 1,600 Nm) compared to its interference contour-optimized counterpart Vero-S NSR 160. The blow-off function integrated as standard guarantees optimum cleaning of all reference surfaces and thus ensures a reliable process. Thanks to spring force, the module clamps via a positive, self-locking locking mechanism, so that the full pull-in force is maintained even if the pressure drops. The optionally combinable 'AFS3-R IOL 138' monitoring unit provides transparency in the clamping process. This allows the "Module open", "Module closed", "Module closed with clamping pin" and "Pallet present" statuses of the robot module to be recorded and transferred to the machine controller via the standardized IO-Link interface.
