Thin, Pneumatic Quick-Change Pallet Module

With a height of 20 mm, the VERO-S NSE mini module from SCHUNK provides ideal conditions for retrofitting existing machines, making full use of the engine room and direct clamping of small workpieces, according to the company.

"The patented drive concept consists of a fast stoke and a clamping stroke, ensuring that the compact module has a highly compact performance. At a module diameter of 90 mm, and a clamping pin diameter of only 20 mm, the NSE mini also has an integrated turbo function and enormous pull-in forces up to 1500 N. Locking is done mechanically via spring force. The large contact surfaces between clamping slide and pin minimize the surface pressure in unclamped condition, and the wear of the module.

"Even small workpieces can be directly clamped, and are completely machined from five sides without restricting accessibility of the lathe chuck or chuck jaw. This is done by screwing the clamping pins of the Quick-Change Pallet Systems directly into the workpiece. The components are quickly exchanged in the machine and are positioned, fixed and clamped in the Quick-Change Clamping Modules at a repeat accuracy of less than 0.005 mm. In order to optimize accessibility, the clamping height of the workpieces can be adjusted with module height extensions, so the machine spindle can reach all five sides of the workpiece without needing special tools."

The NSE mini is fully equipped to help maximize service lifetime and process reliability. All functional components, base body, clamping pin and clamping slide are made of hardened stainless steel and are completely sealed to protect against chips, dust and coolant. To prevent chips from jamming in the module during workpiece change, the base plate can be provided with a bore hole for an air feed connection.
