09-16-2013 - The compact SCHUNK robot couplings VERO-S NSR continue to set standards at high-efficiency, robot-supported pallet change on machine tools: with the module VERO-S NSR maxi 220 the system is becoming even in the heavyweight class a superior favorite for pallet handling. It transfers torques up to 4,000 Nm, and can reliably handle up to 1,000 kg (at 800 x 800 mm). Due to the developed locking system with patented strokes (fast and clamping stroke) from SCHUNK, such large masses can be handled. Locking is done form-fit, and is self-retaining. All the components of the powerhouse are made of hardened, stainless steel. In order to ensure a process-reliable function in challenging environments, it is completely sealed against chips and coolant. Moreover, a standardized cleaning function ensures a chip-free surface contact between pallet and robot coupling. For process monitoring, locking and unlocking conditions are monitored via a position sensor, and the presence of pallet via an inductive proximity switch. Repeat accuracy amounts to 0.02 mm.


Upgrade of the modules up to 350 kg

The innovative family-owned company also completes the VERO-S NSR sizes with smaller and medium-sized sizes: in order to achieve maximum process stability, these standard modules are also equipped with a cleaning function now. Steel inlays at the contact areas make the robot couplings extremely wear-resistant. Despite the upgrade, the module weight remains unchanged. Due to the consequent lightweight design, the modules with optimized interfering contours weigh 400 g (NSR mini 100), 1,600 g (NSR 160). They are suitable for reliable handling of pallets up to 75 kg (at 200 x 200 mm), or up to 350 kg (at 400 x 400 mm). Together in a team with the new heavy-duty module NSR maxi 220, they are covering the complete range from 1 to 1,000 kg.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
