Powerful Rotary Module

The new ERS rotary module from SCHUNK is the successor of the proven STM module. Compact dimensions, and a center hole for cable feed-through, are ideal preconditions for designing compact and orderly arranged high performance systems. It is multi-functional and can be used as a freely programmable rotary indexing table, as a workpiece support for laser welding machines, or as a axis of rotation for grippers in gantries. It is very flexible, and any intermediate position can be approached at a repeat accuracy of 0.022. Even the use of the highly efficient module in existing systems and plants is a good alternative: If it replaces conventional pneumatic rotary modules, it can increase the energy efficiency of the plant and significantly broadens the range of usage.

The ERS is available in three sizes with diameters 135, 170 and 210 mm. It is currently the most compact electric rotary module on the market. The height of size 170 measures 66 mm, and it achieves a convincing torque of 5 Nm. An optionally integrated pneumatic holding brake ensures that individual positions can be reliably fixed. The core piece of the ERS module is a torque motor with hollow shaft, which allows the module to be lightweight, more compact, wear-free, and is extremely reliable. In contrast to rotary modules with conventional servo motors, the module has no additional interfering contours. Moreover, elasticity due to scope and friction do not apply. Therefore, dynamic, precision, and positioning resolution are increasing. The ERS module works more quietly, precisely, and efficiently than comparable servo motors. Since there is no loss of friction, the efficiency factor achieves 80%. Due to the high compact performance, operating costs can be remarkably reduced.

As regards control and regulation strategies, the user is very flexible with the ERS: beside a 560 V DC version for standard drives from Bosch or Siemens, a 48 V DC version is also available for the use with the proven SCHUNK-Motion-Controller MCS-12. The module can be used as a direct servo axis in a multi-axis system, and as a stand-alone rotary module for special tasks.

ADNP Compact Cylinders set the standard in the areas of safety, design and assembly.

ADNP Cylinders have the latest flexible cushioning rings as standard to absorb any residual energy to facilitate high speeds and fast machine cycles. This type of cushioning gives a long service life as well as minimal friction. ADNP is an economical version of ADN with polymer caps. The ADNP now features supply port threads inside the polymer caps.
These cylinders are low in weight thanks to a polymer bearing and polymer end caps.

All ADNP Cylinders are easy to mount with a comprehensive range of mounting accessories for just about every type of installation with a range of variants makes them highly flexible. Can also be integrated with our cylinder mounted switches for contactless position switching. Available in a variety of different cylinder diameters 20mm-50mm, with stroke lengths ranging from 5mm-80mm.

Teaching Grippers to see

SCHUNK has enlarged its vast modular system of grippers again. As the first ever standardized gripper, the PGN-plus universal gripper, and the MPG-plus gripper for small components from SCHUNK are now equipped with an integrated distance and presence sensor. With the new OAS, both modules quickly transform into seeingg grippers without needing an expensive vision system. The optical system can be directly integrated into the gripping center. Here it continuously supplies the control unit with information, such as how far away the component is located, or if a part is being securely gripped.

Moreover, the sensor measures the distance of the gripper to the component. This is done during the process without any loss of time. With the OAS, the grippers PGN-plus and MPG-plus can differentiate components, recognize its position, pick it from the running belt, unstack them, detect wrongly gripped components, and increase the reliability of the gripper during operation.

The optical sensor works with infrared light at a wavelength of 850 nm. It functions at environmental temperatures between 14 F and 131 F, and fulfills the standards for protection class IP65. The sensor module is multi-functional, and can be combined with other grippers and automation modules. For example, it can be used for analog position monitoring of long-stroke grippers by integrating it in one of the two base jaws.

SPTW Pressure Sensor

Media Resistance and High Precision Accuracy

The SPTW sensor is a pressure transmitter designed for all media that will not corrode stainless steel. With its extensive options for pressure ranges, this sensor can be used from vacuum applications (-1 to 1 bar) up to high pressure applications (0 to 100 bar). With quick installation and practically no setup, the SPTW provides a reliable analogue signal through an M12 connector with an accuracy of 1% of the full measure range selected.

Universal Magnetic Sensor with programmable Switching Point

Monitoring grippers during handling and assembly tasks will be much easier now that SCHUNK has introduced the MMS 22-PI1 magnetic switch. The switch uses a programmable switching point, which makes it an all-purpose sensor. Instead of using multiple variants, one sensor is used, which makes it much more flexible. Monitoring is carried out by a magnet inside of the actuator. Since the switching point can be individually adjusted, and the sensor can be completely inserted into the C-slot, no additional interfering contours occur at the actuator.

Instead of adjusting the switching points mechanically, the MMS 22-PI1 can be programmed quickly. The required teach tool can be used as a wired or contact-free magnetic version. For programming purposes the sensor is inserted into the actuator and the teach-tool is held up to the sensor until the control LED illuminates. Then the teach tool is removed again and the gripper is directed into its target position. After turning on the teach tool again, this sequence is finished. Compared with conventional magnetic sensors, the operator saves up to 90 percent of the set-up time.

In order to increase process reliability, the release sensor point or hysteresis of the MMS 22-PI1 can be programmed on demand, too. The teach tool is put on for five seconds, the gripper is placed into the position you want, the signal to drop out at and the position is confirmed with the tool. The adjustable hysteresis allows even reliable position monitoring at very short strokes, and the gripper can differentiate workpieces of different sizes. The complete gripping process can be better evaluated and controlled.
