Flat, precise, power density: the universally deployable, mechatronic rotary unit SCHUNK ERT enables uniform, flexible and dynamic rotary movements that are virtually wear and maintenance-free within compact spaces. Even with the optionally available brake, which is actuated directly via the controller, the height of the SCHUNK ERT remains unchanged. This is a novelty on the market and creates excellent prerequisites for the most compact assembly and handling applications in the field of electronics, medical technology, laboratory technology, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and solar industry, but also for space-optimized applications in the field of mechanical engineering, laser machining or for packaging processes.
It’s no longer big news that the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 is creating sanitary challenges like never seen before. At this point, and without a vaccine or effective treatment, the use of masks and other types of personal protective equipment (PPE), is the best way to limit the spread of the virus circulation.
Choosing the right interface for your machine vision application is a key decision in your camera selection process. The following sections provide an overview of the different types of cables and connectors available for machine vision applications along with associated pros and cons.
The gripper technology ADHESO from SCHUNK results from a closer look at nature: With the help of adhesive forces, geckos are moving head first over smooth surfaces for millions of years. Now, the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology systematically uses this principle for developing various fields of handling applications.
State of the art vision systems now offer greater flexibility than ever before: Be they single cameras, multiple cameras configurations, or cameras that are set up for 360o views of target objects either through rotation of the object or moving the camera by attaching it to a Cobot.
