Let's get a grip on automation and get moving. That's what we're talking about in today's episode.

elliTek is excited to announce our new automation partner - SCHUNK.

SCHUNK is known for its unique gripping technology. As Brandon says, SCHUNK takes the cake for how hard you can grip something.

What some folks, at least in the U.S., don't know SCHUNK also does linear motion. They do belt-driven modules and ball screw modules, also known as rodless modules.

But wait! That's not all...

SCHUNK also has linear actuators, rotary actuators, linear motors, workholding, and toolholding products.

During this episode, we'll take a closer look at SCHUNK's offerings.

Here are links to the videos we're talking about, plus a couple of bonus videos. One featuring the world's first pneumatic gripper with CERTIFIED GripGuard that you really must see, PGL-plus-P, and SCHUNK Vero S vs conventional change over.
