If so, Schunk’s AGM Compensation Units may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
In automated environments, tasks like machine loading, insertion, and bin picking often face the same challenge: even the smallest misalignment can damage workpieces, wear out grippers, and slow down cycle times. Traditional robots are not designed to naturally compensate for these inaccuracies, which means tolerance issues can lead to error messages, scrap, or manual rework.
The AGM Series Compensation Units from Schunk eliminate these pain points by introducing flexibility between the robot and the workpiece. With compensation available in up to five degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, W, and rotational axes), AGM units absorb tolerances, stabilize processes, and protect valuable tooling.
Key Value Propositions
Boost Machine Loading Efficiency
- AGM-XYZ units stabilize the workpiece during loading/unloading, absorbing forces in multiple directions. This results in smoother part placement, less wear on grippers, and optimized machine utilization.
Achieve Reliable Insertions
- Whether you’re assembling circuit boards or engine blocks, AGM-XY units compensate for positional inaccuracies, preventing downtime and scrap while enabling high-volume, precise insertions.
Solve Bin Picking Challenges
- Undefined part positions and orientations can stall bin picking. AGM-W units provide angular compensation and pneumatic locking, enabling robots to grip components securely, speed up cycle times, and even handle delicate or fragile items.
Adapt to Your Application
- With nine series and load ranges from a few grams to over 400 kg, the AGM portfolio covers everything from small precision tasks to heavy-duty industrial jobs.
Customizable for Unique Needs
- From E-Mobility applications requiring sensitive battery handling to specialized integration setups, Schunk offers custom-engineered AGM units that match your process requirements.
Why Choose AGM Compensation Units?
At the end of the day, compensation technology is about protecting your process reliability and your bottom line. By minimizing errors and wear, AGM units ensure your automation investment delivers more consistent throughput and longer equipment life.
