Suhner Max 40 CO machining unit made for robotic applications

Suhner has introduced the Max 40 CO, its largest machining unit designed to be used with robots. It is equipped with an ISO 40 or an optional HSK 63 spindle. Coolant-through-spindle is possible for both toolholder options.

Clamping and tool retention is accomplished by a spring-loaded drawbar assembly. Tool release is done with a pneumatic cylinder. The disc-spring package, which offers a tool-gripper system with an included mechanical ratio, can develop a tool retention force up to 12 kN.

Process capability can be monitored using four proximity switches controlling tool clamping, tool release, home position without tool, and home position without tool and no rotation.
