Those who are new to automation and seasoned pros alike consider many factors, including cost, when choosing new product for automating their processes. SCHUNK already offers cost effective solutions for component handling with its lean automation program and the Plug & Work portfolio for cobots. Now the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology expands its offering for stationary workpiece clamping and launches a maintenance-low vise for the entry into the world of automation.

Low maintenance and precise

The pneumatically actuated clamping force block SCHUNK TANDEM PGS3-LH 100 can be directly mounted via the integrated flange on the machine tables, dividing heads or SCHUNK VERO-S NSL3 150 clamping stations of machining centers. Its compact and square design ensures optimum accessibility and enables a considerable stroke of 6 mm per jaw. With a clamping force of 4,500 N and a repeat accuracy of 0.02 mm, the low-maintenance SCHUNK TANDEM PGS3 is excellently suitable for basic applications in the field of aluminum and plastics machining. Special quality features include a chip-repelling design, the surface-treated components in the power flux, and the fact that the long base jaw guidances avoid a lifting up of the chuck jaws. The vise can be equipped with all standard top jaws with tongue and groove (KTR, KTR-H) from the world’s largest chuck jaw program from SCHUNK. The vise is prepared for immediate incorporation into any machine tool: it has lateral air connections and built-in keyways.
