Quick-Change Pallet System

Schunk’s next generation Quick-Change Pallet System VERO-S has replaced the Schunk Unilock module. The VERO-S is fully compatible to the previous system and offers an enormous package of performance advancements at the same price. Among the many benefits, the pull-in force of the new module amounts to 40,000 N. The customer also receives as standard a VERO-S module, where all the functional components are made of hardened stainless steel and thus is corrosion-resistant. Thanks to the patented dual stroke actuation, the VERO-S has a pull-down force of up to 9,000 N. With the integrated turbo function, the pull-down force can increase to 40,000 N. The rigidity of the whole clamping solution profits from this higher force. Locking of the new quick-change pallet system is done mechanically via a spring package. It is self-locking and clamps form-fit. Holding forces of up to 75,000 N are achieved. For opening the module, a pneumatic pressure of 6 bars is sufficient. VERO-S clamps workpieces, pallets, clamping stations and tombstones with one or more clamping pins. The radial aligned clamping slides of the quick-change pallet system pulls in the clamping pin and locks it. Fixing or exact positioning is done via a short taper. This assures a repeat accuracy of less than 0.005 mm. No matter if the new or the old system is concerned, all the SCHUNK clamping pins fit for all due to the uniform size of all quick-change pallet systems. Workpieces can be transferred from machine to machine accurately and seamlessly on the fly. In order to increase the modules life, process reliability, and to reduce maintenance, all the functional components of the VERO-S, such as base body, clamping pin and clamping slide are made of hardened stainless steel.
