SCHUNK

SCHUNK is a family-owned operation and a global player in one. Totaling more than 60 years of experience, SCHUNK is a leading worldwide manufacturer of toolholding components, workholding systems, and automation components. With more than 2,000 employees worldwide located in 26 subsidiaries and five manufacturing facilities, SCHUNK offers global customer service and technical support.

As a member of Partners in Technology, SCHUNK offers customers the latest technology to maximize machine tool capabilities:

• Lathe Chucks and Jaws: constant innovation of chuck and jaw combinations, including increased though-holes and quick-change jaws eliminate machine idle times.
• Toolholding: made for high-speed providing less vibration for spindle protection, more parts per hour, and superior finish.
• Automation: grippers, rotary actuators, and linear drives provide reliable machining and maximum productivity.

The Partners in Technoloby program offers a unique opportunity for a machine tool accessory builder like SCHUNK to work hand-in-hand with other suppliers—including the machine tool builder—to provide the best solution to their customers' needs. Working together, SCHUNK and Okuma can offer proven solutions from one source that customers can utilize to hit the ground running.

SCHUNK offers toolholding, workholding, and automation technologies that are used in all applications of machine tools. A turning center is as worthless without a chuck to hold the part while processing as a machining center is without toolholders. Neither is efficient in high production without automation.
