With the KONTEC KSX-E, SCHUNK is launching the first 100 percent electrically driven 5-axis vise with infinitely programmable clamping stroke – another future-ready component for the digitalized and energy-efficient production.
With the revision of its MAGNOS magnetic chucks for deformation-free 5-sided machining, SCHUNK offers additional process reliability and user-friendliness.
The 4-jaw manual lathe chuck ROTA-ML flex 2+2 from SCHUNK has received a comprehensive facelift. The result: It is lower, lighter - and even more flexible!.
The who's who of the industry will meet at AMB from September 13 to 17, 2022 at Messe Stuttgart. SCHUNK is also part of the community that is burning with passion and commitment for metalworking. After a long hiatus, this community is finally coming together again in person. The technology leader will be showcasing automation and digitalization options for machining as well as new developments in the field of sustainable, resource-efficient clamping devices.
Digitalization has reached the machine tool. The new iTENDO² contributed its shares to this. The smart toolholder provides real-time data directly "closest to the part" and helps to quickly introduce optimal machining processes. The German Design Council has now honored this SCHUNK innovation with the German Innovation Award 2022.
The flexible jaw quick-change chuck manages a balancing act between short set-up times and low maintenance. Its overall package of functional design, flexibility, and sustainability also convinced the jury of the iF Design Award 2022.
Always one step ahead: SCHUNK was the first company to launch clamping force blocks on the market. The TANDEM3 modular system continues this success story: The new series replaces the existing TANDEM-plus modular system and expands the portfolio with numerous variants. SCHUNK offers more solutions and services for workpiece clamping in its standard range than any other company and paves the way for their use in automated machine loading.
