If you want to speed up your production, there is no way around automation. Innovative, customized solutions are the cornerstone of healthy manufacturing in productive and economically successful companies. At AMB, the international exhibition for metalworking, we will be showcasing a wide range of automation options that make manufacturing processes more efficient and companies fit for the future.
Automation is the key to manufacturing productively and cost-effectively despite a shortage of skilled workers and cost pressure. But sensible automation doesn't just start with the machine. In order to fully exploit their productivity potential, it is essential to ensure reliability and speed during loading and unloading. As a specialist in clamping technology, gripping technology and automation technology, we offer both a comprehensive portfolio of components that are required within the machine for automated production, as well as everything related to robot-assisted loading and unloading.
We are looking forward to personally exchanging ideas with you!
In the area of machine loading, we cover all five different types of automation with our components. This makes us a neutral consultant who will work with you to find the best possible solution. This is because the selection of the right automation solution always depends on the machine, the respective process and the individual workpiece. We support you in selecting and setting up the optimum individual automation solution with our in-depth component and application expertise.
At AMB, we will be showing you a wide range of approaches to automated machine loading, from simple entry-level to high-end solutions. Experience the possibilities offered by automated workpiece handling with the aid of gripper and axis systems using illustrative examples. The mechatronic 3-finger universal gripper EZU is brand new. The robust and hard-wearing gripper is perfect for harsh working conditions and handles cylindrical or eccentric workpieces of various sizes without any loss of gripping force. A large number of communication interfaces, PLC function modules and plug-ins for well-known robot manufacturers ensure simple integration.
We focus on your particular application and will always find the optimum tool holding system for your task. Discover the SCHUNK technology diversity from mechanical toolholders, heat shrinking mountings via low-vibration precision toolholders, SCHUNK TRIBOS polygonal clamping technology and SCHUNK TENDO hydraulic expansion technology to the ultimate for Industry 4.0 applications – the first intelligent toolholder iTENDO. Using the iTENDO2 magnetic holder, users can now position the intelligent real-time sensors anywhere in the machine room and use them for tests and process optimization. This year's focus will include our iTENDO² pad system, which can be easily used with the magnetic holder.
It is not always possible to fall back on a standard component. This is what SCHUNK Engineering is there for: From a simple adaptation to complex individual clamping or automation solutions that have to be developed from scratch, everything is possible. In addition to a personal consultation with our customer service team, our digital tools provide support for individual configuration: easyJAW (clamping jaws), easyToolholder (tool holder), FGR (gripper fingers), ELG and PLG as well as the linear module configurator. Our tried-and-tested configurators offer special solutions with just a few clicks - this saves time and can be implemented at low cost.
