Safe handling of heavy pallets
Schunk has further expanded its range of pneumatic robot couplings for pallet handling. The Vero-S NSR3 138 robot coupling handles heavy pallet weights reliably.
With the robot module, the company is launching a dimensionally stable module with high pull-in forces that can absorb higher torques (My = 1,500 Nm and Mz = 1,600 Nm) compared to its interference-contour-optimized counterpart, the Vero-S NSR 160. The blow-off function integrated as standard guarantees optimum cleaning of all reference surfaces and thus ensures a reliable process. The module clamps by means of spring force via a positive, self-locking interlock, so that the full pull-in force is maintained even if the pressure drops. The optionally combinable AFS3-R IOL 138 monitoring unit provides transparency in the clamping process, allowing the various states of the robot module to be recorded and transferred to the machine control system via the standardized IO-Link interface.
