Downtime costs time and productivity. With the VERO-S quick-change pallet system, you can reduce set-up times to just a few seconds, paving the way for flexible manufacturing processes to automated production. The repeatable interface ensures maximum process reliability, high system availability, and cost-effective sequences.
Today, an individual component; tomorrow, series production; the day after tomorrow, automated machine tending. Its modular design allows VERO‑S to adapt flexibly to new requirements. And with over 1,000 possible combinations, it offers the right solution for virtually any clamping task. This means your manufacturing operations will be ready for whatever lies ahead.
Designed for maximum process reliability: The self-locking mechanism reliably holds workpieces and clamping devices in place even in the event of a pressure drop. This ensures maximum stability during the machining process and gives you the confidence that you can rely on your clamping technology at all times.
Productivity occurs wherever machines are in operation. Due to its hermetically sealed design, VERO‑S will operate reliably and maintenance-free for years. This reduces maintenance costs, prevents unplanned downtime, and ensures consistently high system availability.
The path to automated manufacturing begins with standardized, reliable processes. With VERO-S, you are paving the way for automated changes of workpieces, clamping devices, and other devices. The repeatable interface reduces the need for manual intervention, simplifies automation concepts, and prepares your machine tool for the requirements of tomorrow.
Reducing set-up times for machining processes is one of the main factors when it comes to increasing profitability in the manufacturing industry. In CNC machining centers, machine downtime during clamping and alignment leads to efficiency losses. The ultimate solution to this challenge is the introduction of zero point technology for machining. This establishes a static, universal, and highly precise reference point, eliminating the need to re-reference the machine for every new operation.
When using a quick-change system for machining , all of the workpiece preparation takes place outside the machine (external set-up). The VERO-S NSE3 module series from SCHUNK was specially developed for this purpose. The patented double stroke system and the integrated turbo function means that the module offers up to 250% more pull force and enables vibration-free cuts even under the most demanding conditions.
The practical results of using VERO-S NSE3 include:
The quick-change pallet system is an advanced clamping technology that establishes a static, unchanging zero point on a CNC machine. The VERO-S NSE3 module from SCHUNK is considered the benchmark in its category on the market and is superior to most conventional pneumatic clamping devices in terms of flexibility. It enables workpieces to be positioned and clamped in a single operation with the aid of clamping tapers and clamping pins. This ensures a firm hold and a repeat accuracy of less than 0.005 mm without the need for realignment.
VERO-S reduces setup times by preparing the workpieces outside the CNC machine (external setup). The quick-change technology allows pallets or workpieces to be exchanged within seconds once processing is complete. The modules are completely sealed and corrosion-free, which reduces machine downtime by up to 90% and ensures that the machines are perfectly prepared for true Automation and ensure maximum reliability even in the presence of coolants and chips.
Yes, compatibility is ensured. The SCHUNK VERO-S NSE3 138 quick-change pallet module is 100% compatible for installation in previous versions (NSE plus 138 modules). This means that the modules can be exchanged 1:1 without causing any processing errors.
This flexibility makes upgrading production lines quick and safe. Integration is ideal for complex systems such as the 5-axis machining center .
