As an experienced producer of toolholding and workholding, gripping technology and automation technology, we know that the requirements of the life science sector cannot be compared with any other industry. Residue-free, highly sensitive gripping, corrosion resistance and cleanroom suitability are just three of the many standard features that are required, and for good reasons. SCHUNK focuses on the MedTech, LabAutomation and Pharma industry segments. In addition to flexibility and precision, absolute process reliability is required in all three areas. The reliability required for this, including application expertise, is part of SCHUNK's portfolio of products and services.

Application cases

Automatisierte Handhabung und Aufbereitung von Pharmazeutika

Die SCHUNK-Greifer handhaben verschiedene Behältnisse wie Spritzen, Glasfläschchen oder IV-Beutel während unterschiedlicher Prozessschritte zuverlässig. Je nach Anforderung und Aufgabe wechselt der Roboter das geeignete Werkzeug flexibel ein.

Mikrozerspanung in der Medizintechnik

Um schwer zugängliche Bereiche präzise zu bearbeiten, können die TRIBOS-Polygonspannfutter mit der Verlängerung TRIBOS SVL Mini kombiniert werden. Die Präzision der Mikrobearbeitung wird hierduch nicht beeinträchtigt. Das System TRIBOS ermöglicht eine präzise Zerspanung im hohen Drehzahlbereich. Der Werkzeugwechsel erfolgt prozesssicher und zügig.

Sicheres Handhaben und Halten von Blutentnahmeröhrchen

Bei der automatisierten Probenentnahme nimmt der elektrische Kleinteilegreifer SCHUNK EGP das Blutentnahmeröhrchen auf und zentriert es. Während der Drehverschluss geöffnet wird, hält der Greifer das empfindliche Kunststoffröhrchen zuverlässig und sicher.
