SCHUNK is expanding the world’s largest modular system for stationary workholding to include the compact, universal media transfer module SCHUNK VERO-S MDN. It can be used to put pneumatic, hydraulic or vacuum components on VERO-S NSL plus clamping stations into operation within seconds via plug & work. In automated machine loading the interplay of the quick-change pallet system and media transfer module enables fast and reliable change of different clamping devices. Alternatively, the module can be used to supply components for automated monitoring or cleaning.
Durable connections
The media transfer can be flexibly combined with new or existing SCHUNK VERO-S NSL clamping stations, which eliminates expensive and complex isolated or special solutions. It can be mounted either from above or below. The module is equipped with two independently controllable fluid feed-throughs, and is designed for a system pressure of up to 250 bar.
Like all components from the SCHUNK VERO-S modular system, the decisive piece of the puzzle for more efficiency in production, the stainless media transfer module features a robust and durable design. Low-maintenance, specially sealed couplings ensure process-reliable change and operation. The module is controlled either on the base via channel bores in the clamping station or on the side via hose lines.
If necessary, two SCHUNK VERO-S MDN media transfer modules can be combined to create a fourfold media interface. With a height of 39 mm it is exactly adapted for integration in the SCHUNK VERO-S NSE plus quick-change pallet system.
