Manual change system
Simple tool change in seconds
With the CMS, Schunk is launching a user-friendly, manual change system for quick component replacement. In addition to its simple and convenient operation, the CMS also stands out with its extensive range of optional modules and complementary end effectors.
The CMS manual changing system from Schunk is the ideal addition for flexible tasks in production, handling technology or at assembly workstations. It enables fast, process-reliable changing at the robot front end or on stationary systems such as in fixture construction. The manually operated system consists of a CMS-K change head and a CMS-A change adapter and can handle loads of up to 58 kilograms. It can be flexibly combined with handling or processing components from the extensive Schunk portfolio - from grippers to processing tools from the R-Emendo series, for example for automated deburring, polishing or filing.
The CMS is the further development of the SHS quick-change system already established in the portfolio and can replace it 1:1 thanks to the same overall height and identical mounting patterns. The successor version now offers decisive optimizations in terms of operation, design, process reliability and usage options.
Quick and reliable changeover
The CMS is extremely easy and convenient to operate thanks to proven push-lever technology. The changing head can be locked manually with the changing adapter without any additional tools. Innovative integrated air feed-throughs via sealing pins with cylinder seals support manual locking, so that only minimal force is required. In addition, the push lever has a new, cranked shape that does not cover any of the numerous connections. This means that all system connections can now also be used radially.
A spring-loaded locking pin, which fixes the hand lever to the housing and prevents the system from opening during operation, offers greater operational safety. The integrated monitoring sensor system, which enables inductive monitoring of the locking status and tool presence with optional sensors, ensures additional operational safety and increased process reliability. Thanks to the ISO flange pattern, the CMS can be mounted on all common robot types without an additional adapter plate.
Wide range of optional modules and end effectors
Various end effectors such as grippers or processing tools can be supplied with compressed air or vacuum via integrated pneumatic feed-throughs. In addition, the energy supply is now also possible via directly screw-on electrical, pneumatic and fluid modules to save space and weight. Alternatively, the manufacturer also offers a lower-priced, identical basic version CMS-B without pneumatic feed-throughs.
The CMS manual change system is available in six sizes from 40 to 125. In addition to a wide range of combination and application options, users benefit from the broad application knowledge of the full-service provider in automation.
