“It’s all about finding a way to be more productive with your labor.”

SCHUNK is tackling one of manufacturing’s biggest pressures head-on. Michael Gaunce of SCHUNK explains the three big focuses driving the shift: five-axis machining becoming the new standard, automation driving higher productivity, and connected systems improving visibility across operations.

Zero-point systems that shrink setups from hours to minutes, and automation-ready pallet systems – it all comes down to one thing: keep the machine working, not waiting.
