MWCS/IAS/ES: Schunk showcases quick-change pallet

The patented drive concept consists of a fast stroke and a clamping stroke, and ensures that the compact module of the innovative family-owned company has a highly compact performance. The clamping pin is positioned via a short taper and is fixed with three clamping slides. Locking is done mechanically via spring force. It is self-locking and form-fitted. The large contact surfaces between clamping slide and pin minimize the surface pressure in unclamped condition, and also the wear of the module. This VERO-S mostly applies on automotive, gear, aerospace industry segments, etc, Christos Mpamiatzis, Area sales manager of the company said.

Industry 4.0, a top feature of Hanover 2013, has been taken as an obvious future trend of global manufacturing industry, because it incorporates the interaction of operators, product, and machinery based on IT. For this topic, Mpamiatzis shared his opinion: “ Two areas will be promising in the future for intelligent robots (especially service robots) interaction with humans. One is medical field : a surgeon expert can operate an intelligent robot give a patient surgery far away from him by keeping numerous sensors via the Internet, thus save the patient’s life timely. Second, elderly people care.” Christos added.
