One of the biggest barriers to automation adoption is managing high-mix, low-volume production. Justifying ROI can be difficult when products, tools, or processes change frequently. SCHUNK solves this challenge with a range of automation solutions designed to maximize flexibility, reduce downtime, and extend the capabilities of robots and automated systems
SCHUNK’s Automatic Tool Changers (ORS series) allow robots to autonomously switch between end-of-arm tools, making a single robot cell capable of handling multiple tasks.
Ball detent locking system ensures repeatability and durability.
Robots can quickly switch between grippers, magnetic tools, vacuum heads, or other end-of-arm devices.
Compatible with a wide range of media feed-through modules, including electrical signals, communication protocols, high-flow vacuum, and even welding applications.
With options supporting payloads up to 1,000 kg, SCHUNK’s automatic tool changers are ideal for complex, multi-operation environments.
For applications where simplicity and cost-efficiency matter, the CMS Manual Tool Changer offers flexibility with operator intervention.
Features master and adapter sides with a manual lever connection.
Safety features include locking sensors and secure latching.
Supports axial and radial feed-throughs, communication modules, and vacuum lines.
Enables quick redeployment of robots and fast changeovers without complex automation.
Sometimes the challenge isn’t changing the entire tool but adapting the gripper fingers for different part geometries. SCHUNK offers quick-change gripper finger solutions:
Manual quick finger change: push-button release for easy finger swaps.
Slide jaws with adjustable collars: allow operators to adjust offsets for larger or smaller parts, with built-in gauges for repeatability.
These solutions give operators the ability to reconfigure grippers quickly, improving flexibility for variable part sizes.
From simple manual systems to fully autonomous tool changers, SCHUNK provides solutions that fit a wide range of industries and applications. With standardized sizes (ISO 40 to ISO 125 for manual changers), modular accessories, and robust German engineering, SCHUNK ensures proven durability, repeatability, and support for evolving automation needs.
