Insight Spanntechnik | Episode 3 on Aerospace is live. More output in aerospace machining sounds simple – until large, thin-walled structural parts, limited accessibility, long tool overhangs, and demanding materials come together. Add historically grown processes with high setup/non-productive time and frequent re-clamping, and chatter, dimensional deviations, and rework become hard to avoid. In this episode, Anna-Lena & Isabelle talk to: ✨ oliver bircheneder about modern workpiece clamping concepts ✨ Achim Lauterwasser about interference-contour-optimized and vibration-damping toolholders Focus topics: VERO‑S Aviation and a toolholder strategy that makes long overhangs more manageable. Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ed87XBJT and let us know in the comments: What slows you down most in aerospace machining – setup/re-clamping, accessibility, or chatter? #SCHUNK #handinhandfortomorrow #aerospace #InsightSpanntechnik

The KSC-5X brings centric clamping to demanding 5-axis machining - built for fast changeovers and precise access. 🎯 With three jaw base heights, the KSC-5X improves spindle accessibility and supports machining from five sides, even on complex workpieces. A key differentiator is the uniquely broad system and top jaw program from the KSC3 family - designed for maximum flexibility. In our YouTube video, you’ll learn how the setup works in practice: ✅ Reduce setup time: With VERO‑S zero-point clamping (incl. Turbo function) you can locate, clamp, and repeat quickly ✅ Adapt faster to part changes: The 120 mm base stroke enables quick adjustment to different workpiece sizes without lengthy changeovers ✅ Future-proof flexibility: Benefit from the broad KSC3 system and top jaw program to expand applications without changing the base clamping device Watch the video and learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekNzCaXc #SCHUNK #handinhandfortomorrow

More dynamics, less effort in assembly automation. ✨ If you build assembly and high-performance automation, you need axes that position precisely, respond quickly, and integrate in a compact footprint. SLD Mini and SLD Midi linear direct axes are designed to support short cycle times, stable processes, and straightforward machine integration. ✅ Shorter cycle times: High dynamics for higher output ✅ Precise positioning: Backlash-free direct drive for fast response and high accuracy ✅ Easy integration: Compatible with common external 600 V controllers Learn more: schunk.com/sld-mini and schunk.com/sld-midi #SCHUNK #handinhandfortomorrow #SCHUNKEngineering #InnovatingPartnerships

Real-time vision-based hand tracking: when a robotic hand directly takes over human movements. 🤖 That’s exactly what we’re showcasing at IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2026 in Vienna. At our booth, you can experience how a humanoid robotic hand uses vision-based hand tracking to replicate human movements in real time, opening up new possibilities for dexterous manipulation in future robotics applications. The demo was developed in close, collaborative partnership with Hochschule Offenburg – an example of how research and industry work hand in hand on concrete solutions for the robotics of tomorrow. 🤝 Stop by and experience our humanoid gripping technologies live until tomorrow. We're looking forward to seeing you! 👋 #SCHUNK #handinhandfortomorrow #ICRA2026 #humanoidrobotics

#ToolholderTuesday: TENDO E compact SCAPTO – stable and efficient in turn-mill centers. ⚙️ In turn-mill centers, every minute and every deviation counts. The SCHUNK CAPTO interface gives you a rigid, torsion-resistant connection that reliably absorbs torque and bending moments. Combined with the TENDO E compact hydraulic expansion toolholder, you get a setup that ensures process stability, reproducible results, and short setup times – from drilling to reaming, tapping, and HPC applications. ✅ More parts per shift: short changeover and setup times in the modular CAPTO system reduce non-productive time ✅ More consistent quality: rigid polygon connection and smooth operation support dimensional accuracy and surface finish, even with demanding cutting data ✅ Lower tooling costs: reduced vibrations and uniform cutting edge engagement can significantly increase tool life (up to 300% possible) ✅ Versatile in use: ideal for turn-mill centers, one system for many operations (milling, drilling, reaming, tapping) Learn more: schunk.com/tendo-ec #SCHUNK #handinhandfortomorrow
