Individual modules NSE3
VERO-S NSE3 138
Positioning and clamping in one single operation – VERO-S gets to the heart of rationalization. The set-up time optimizer ensures higher machine running times, and a more rational production from batch size 1. The new premium modules are fully compatible with the previous VERO-S modular system, which now consists of more than 1,000 possible combinations for highly efficient workpiece clamping.
Your advantages – Your benefit
The performance characteristics of the NSE3 has been given yet another boost compared to previous top seller NSE plus. This includes the increase in pull-down force as well as the increased dimensional stability of the module body. This means that even higher tilting moments and shear forces can be absorbed by the new modules. This module can be expanded by a unique variety of different equipment. Their most striking feature is an optional, spring-actuated cone seal that automatically locks the module's change interface as soon as the clamping pin is lifted.
- SCHUNK modular system
Innumerable combinations of standard clamping devices to suit all different types of machines - All pneumatic modules can be operated with a system pressure of 6 bar
Additional pressure intensifiers are not required - Positioning via short tapers
Very easy connecting interface with a repeat accuracy of <0.005 mm - Patented dual stroke system for the highest pull-down forces
Therefore extremely rigid clamping without vibrations - Form-fit, self-retained locking
Full pull-down force is maintained even in the event of a pressure drop - The modules are corrosion-free and completely sealed
Long life time and maximum process reliability
- Turbo integrated by default
Pull-down force increased up to 250% for optimal utilization of the machine's performance, hence high efficiency. - A consistent clamping pin size for all NSE3 modules and 100% compatible with VERO-S NSE plus modules
No danger of confusion or incorrect operation - Integrated slide monitoring for "open" and "locked" positions
Can be used in automated applications - Optional cone seal
For protecting the change interface from coolant, dust, and chips - Optional sensor variants
For monitoring the slide positions

VERO-S NSE3
Rolling friction between piston and clamping slide
To further increase the pull down force, sliding bearings are integrated in the piston for the positioning of the cylindrical pin. Therefore, efficiency is increased, and wear is minimized at the same time.
100% compatible with NSE plus 138
The NSE3 138 quick-change pallet module is 100% compatible for installation with the NSE plus 138 modules. This allows modules to be exchanged 1:1.
Ability to exchange the plug for a cone seal
All quick-change pallet modules from the NSE3 generation are equipped for integrating a cone seal by default. The standard plug can easily be replaced by a cone seal at a later point.
NSE-T3 138 – the third generation of tombstone module
Also available in the new generation – the tombstone module NSE-T3 138. The extremely rigid module allows even higher cutting parameters to be run. Advantage: Higher pull-down forces, optional cone seal, and longer service life.
Maximizing productivity with zero point technology for machining
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 a loss of efficiency. 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:
- Reduction of set-up time by up to 90%, and therefore maximum availability of the spindle.
- Micrometric repeat accuracy of <0.005 mm with quick change of pallets and workpieces.
- Efficient operation with a standard system pressure of just 6 bar, without the need for pressure intensifiers.
Frequently asked questions: Setting up and zeroing
The zero point 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 cones and clamping pins. This ensures a firm hold and repeatability of less than 0.005 mm without the need for realignment.
VERO-S reduces set-up times by preparing the workpieces outside the CNC machine (external set-up). 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 guarantee maximum reliability even in the presence of coolants and chips
Yes, compatibility is guaranteed. 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 .
