Robot-guided palletizing systems are one way of making machine tools more flexible. They minimize downtimes in the production of individual parts and enable unmanned production in three-shift operation. The interaction of the gripping system and clamping technology components is important here.

Zero-point clamping modules have been ensuring high efficiency in machine tools for years. The Neher Group, a leading manufacturer of polycrystalline diamond tools and automation solutions, has now extended the range of applications in its new MX01 modular series to rotary transfer machine construction and uses Schunk's modules, which are both stable and precise, to clamp workpiece carrier pallets in leak testing systems.
