Integrated pick-and-place unit - Schunk launches PPU-E30

Because the product has been designed from the outset to be an integrated multi-axis unit (instead of being an assembly of single-axis units) it benefits from an absence of moving cables for the motors and position sensors, which reduces inertia and eliminates a potential source of failure. In addition it is very compact, which also reduces weight/inertia and makes it simple to incorporate within an automated assembly cell. All services are accessed via the rear panel, which simplifies installation and servicing, as well as enabling PPU-E30 units to be mounted adjacent to each other.

Performance characteristics are as follows:
