With an objective of providing a value-centric product to the growing Indian manufacturing sector, lately SCHUNK Intec India Pvt Ltd introduced its latest Quick change Pallet System that promises return on investment (ROI) in less than three months. <\/em><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s market dynamics demand shorter product life cycles making it imperative for the manufacturing companies to invest in flexible systems and have the bandwidth to cope up with changing machining requirements. Identifying this need of the hour SCHUNK; one of the pioneers in gripping systems and clamping technology since last 70 years came out with its new offering – \u201cVERO-E compact GSE\u201d. Tailored especially for the Indian machine tool sector, it is a modular quick-change pallet system, which is suited for extremely fast resetting of workpieces, clamping devices and other equipment on 3, 4 and 5-axis machining centres.<\/p>\n

Aligned to needs
\n<\/strong>Elaborating in this context, Managing Director, Satish Sadasivan, SCHUNK Intec India emphasized that the new VERO-E compact Zero point clamping technology is not a catalogue product and is mainly made to suit the requirements of the Indian machine tool builders. He added, \u201cWe are closely working with Indian machine tool manufacturers and intend to serve them better through quick changeovers on the machines they currently use. With this we plan to expand our presence in India.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quick change pallet systems have enormous capacity. \u201cNow we have a system that is not only perfectly aligned but also feature and approximately two and a half times clamping force of machine belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Optimization is the key
\n<\/strong>Moreover, by reducing the retooling times up to 90 percent, the system facilitates in providing optimal utilization of the machine capacity. Setting up the workpieces outside the machine in parallel to the processing time minimizes downtimes enormously contributing to cost savings. The set-up time ensures higher machine running times and better production from batch size 1. From the cost saving point of view, the VERO-E-compact GSE system is useful for producing small batch quantities and comprehensive range of workpieces. Its Turbo integration feature helps to pull-down force thereby increasing 300 percent for optimal utilization of the machine\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Reliability matters
\n<\/strong>Creating a master trend, this system is known for setting great production variability. In recent scenario, when most of the machines and technology come with a less shelf life, these solutions guarantee a larger life span and process reliability. To add on, the system is moulded with a base body and all functional components like clamping pins and slides that are made of hardened stainless steel, blending forth modules that are completely maintenance-free and hermetically sealed against dirt, chips, and coolant.<\/p>\n

All pneumatic modules can be operated with a system pressure of 6 bars, without adhering on additional pressure intensifiers. The machines allow positioning via short taper, allowing easy connecting interface with a repeat accuracy of 0.005 mm. Its rigid clamping operation helps to avoid vibration and is equipped with a self-retained locking system. For safety and security reasons, the system operates on one consistent clamping pin size for all VERO-E compact GSE-modules and hence avoids danger, confusion or incorrect operation.<\/p>\n

Serving one and all
\n<\/strong>Widely acknowledged by myriad industry sectors for its specialty in offering room even to the smallest machine tables, the company\u2019s stationary clamping systems ensure the micron-precise link between the machine table and the workpiece. Whether pneumatic, hydraulic, manual or magnetic, SCHUNK is well-equipped to provide tailored fitting solutions to customers from wide-ranging industry sectors.<\/p>\n

The working of \u201cVEROE compact\u201d was deftly displayed on DMG MORI\u2019s state-of-the-art technology \u201cDMU 65 monoBLOCK,\u201d to its customers. The monoBLOCK series has a machine concept for every sector and every component produced is an impressive masterpiece. According to Mr. Satish Sadasivan \u2013 Managing Director, SCHUNK Intec India Pvt Ltd, DMG MORI offers very high-end machines and SCHUNK takes pride in working together to bring out a revolution in the machine industry with its products.<\/p>\n

Customer-centric
\n<\/strong>\u201cAll our products are synonymous with good quality and speak for its performance. We are proud to build a support mechanism with a backup plan, in the case of any technical issues or break down, within the warranty period. Fit and forget is the mantra behind any SCHUNK products,\u201d shared Satish Sadasivan – Managing Director of SCHUNK Intec India. Validating this point, General Manager \u2013 Metal Products Power Transfer Technology, Mersen India Pvt Ltd, B N Chandrashekharaiah, mentioned, \u201cWe provide Earth Return Current Units (ERCU) to Bangalore Metro. While working on such a prestigious project, downtime is the last thing we can think of. In such scenario, SCHUNK\u2019s gripping system does wonders. Additionally, SCHUNK provides good after sales service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternately, Titan Industries Ltd began the use of SCHUNK\u2019s product eight years ago. Since then the company has installed SCHUNK\u2019s systems on most of its machines. \u201cThese products give excellent ROI. Within six months we can see the benefits. In other words, it is a worth investment,\u201d noted Senior Engineer, Titan Industries Ltd, Venkat Subramanian.<\/p>\n

Director, Abhiyant Technologies Pvt Ltd, Nagaraja BC also finds SCHUNK\u2019s products impressive. He further added, \u201cWe strongly recommend SCHUNK products to our customers, with batch production requirements.\u201d Agreeing to the same, Senior Manager, Production, Ace Multi Axes Systems Ltd said, \u201cSCHUNK\u2019s technology as well as service is very good. We have been using their products since almost a decade. We have already provided our requirements and placed order for the latest Vero-E compact Cut from the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expansion plans – Roadmap
\n<\/strong>In order to further strengthen relationship with customers and educate them on the company\u2019s products, SCHUNK plans to put forward a training program. It will enable customers to use the company\u2019s products efficiently. Another assurance that the company gives is to deliver proper machining of workpieces, ensuring the longevity of the products.<\/p>\n
