The new SCHUNK / elliTek partnership brings innovative automation & money-saving opportunities for e-mobility, life sciences, and more.

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What would a robot be without a gripper? Pretty useless. Grippers allow robots to automate key processes, like assembly, inspection, machine tending, and pick & place.

Combine gripper technology with automation technology, and now we’re really moving.

SCHUNK, the international technology leader in tool holding, work holding, gripping, and automation technology, and elliTek, Inc. have partnered to provide Tennessee manufacturers with state-of-the-art solutions for improving production lines and robot systems.

“We are excited to partner with elliTek. elliTek’s extensive controls and engineering background brings a level of ‘Value-Added Service’ that we have been searching for in a partner.” Says David Simerly, Tennessee Territory Sales Manager, “We are looking forward to providing area manufacturers SCHUNK’s innovative products and elliTek’s tremendous level of support.”

SCHUNK is well known for its gripping solutions. SCHUNK’s grip force is second to none as far as heavy-duty grip forces go.

SCHUNK's product portfolio also includes linear actuators, rotary actuators, linear motors, work holding, and collaborative robot (cobot) accessories.

SCHUNK’s Linear Actuator Program provides cut-to-order builds that can be specified down to the millimeter. These are prepared in the United States, North Carolina to be exact. Linear actuators are delivered in three to four weeks -- unheard of in today’s supply chain climate.

As far as e-mobility goes, with SCHUNK’s seven+ decades of engineering expertise in the automotive industry, SCHUNK succeeds in quickly and safely converting manufacturing and assembly processes to electromobility. From axis systems to robot accessories, SCHUNK, and elliTek have you covered.

In order to meet the strict requirements for manufacturing in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, SCHUNK's coordinated Life Science portfolios are well suited to meet the demands of any life science application.

“It only makes sense to partner with SCHUNK,” says Brandon Ellis, President of elliTek. “SCHUNK focuses on innovation, digitalization, and product optimization. SCHUNK’s philosophy of ‘Visions begin with questions’ falls in line with elliTek’s mission of empowering its customers. We’re looking forward to bringing SCHUNK’s innovation to Tennessee manufacturers.”

With so many options available today, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. When you’re ready to get a grip and move forward, elliTek and SCHUNK will find a suitable solution just for you.
