Few industries operate so close to the limits of what is technically feasible as the aerospace industry. Materials such as titanium, delicate lightweight structures and strictly certified processes place high demands on stability and efficiency. The interface of the manufacturing process determines whether it succeeds or comes to a standstill.
To help you overcome these challenges, SCHUNK supplies solutions that are designed for demanding applications. Our clamping and gripping systems offer the highest repeat accuracy, reliable process control, and high efficiency – from modular clamping devices for structural components to automated handling of turbine blades.
That is the SCHUNK effect. Together, we accelerate your production with precision and uncompromising.
Engine components are made of high-strength superalloys that are difficult to machine. This is where high thermal loads meet tight tolerances.
SCHUNK supports you with process-reliable solutions for your manufacturing needs – from low-vibration machining to reproducible dimensional accuracy.
To bear the entire load during landing, chassis parts are manufactured from titanium or high-strength steels as solid structures. The challenge lies in the precise machining of these large and heavy components.
SCHUNK offers suitable clamping solutions, from clamping force blocks for high clamping forces to modular clamping systems that secure workpieces with minimal distortion.
Whether for frames, ribs or large aluminum components, structural engineering combines lightweight construction and large dimensions. Manufacturing these often thin-walled and vibration-sensitive components requires sensitive awareness.
SCHUNK offers a process-reliable and flexible set-up that avoids material stresses and reduces your cycle times.
The SCHUNK VERO-S Aviation clamping units enable the rapid and uniquely efficient adjustment of the entire clamping setup by means of a special bearing of the SCHUNK quick-change pallet system VERO-S.
Efficiency in the aerospace industry is not achieved through individual components or production steps alone, but through their coordinated interaction throughout the entire production process.
SCHUNK thinks beyond the component: We optimize your entire process chain - from minimizing setup times to fully automated productions. Together, we ensure that you can maximize your potential and take your productivity to the next level.
Setup time minimization as a success factor: VERO-S is the universal interface for your manufacturing needs. VERO-S can be adapted to any machine for manual or automated processes, be it a 3-, 4- or 5-axis machining center, compact machine or portal machine.
Our product portfolio offers high clamping forces and a unique product range for every requirement. ROTA lathe chucks ensure process stability for a variety of turning applications, from precisely machining delicate rings to securely fixing asymmetrical components.
High damping meets strong holding forceies: Our low-maintenance product range offers optimal surface quality without external setup equipment. Highlights such as the TENDO Slim 4ax improve accessibility in 5‑axis machining and ensure longer tool life when machining complex aerospace‑structures.
Our clamping technology supports the requirements of titanium and aluminum machining through the use of high clamping forces. Whether it is manual loading of complex geometries in 5-axis machining or automated loading of large quantities of workpieces, we offer the most suitable and reliable clamping technology.
Your partner for aerospace automation: Be it automated workpiece loading or handling complex clamping contours – SCHUNK provides you with the right solution for your automated process.
