Schunk has issued two updates for their planning tools Kombibox and Toolbox, which feature many new options in the selection and design of modules. The Kombibox, which enables the fast and easy determination of which components are optimally compatible, has been expanded to allow more than 1,700 new combinations. All new products, such as the Schunk MPG-plus and EGP small component grippers, the Schunk ELB and HLM stroke modules or the Schunk Beta and Delta linear modules are now integrated in the tool. At the press of a button, users can determine both the suitable adapter plates and the required centering elements and DIN screws.
The software modules of the Toolbox series have been expanded, in order to facilitate the design of the single modules. Toolbox Pick & Place, a new tool for selecting the Schunk PPU-P Pick & Place units and the Schunk DRL rotary lift units, automatically determines cycle times and maximum cycles, without the necessity of poring over data sheets.
