VERO-S NSE mini for Light Machining
Low-profile, zero-point clamping ideal for small parts and tight setups.
VERO-S NSE mini for Light Machining
Precision Meets Efficiency in Quick-Change Palletization
The SCHUNK VERO-S NSE mini is an extremely low-profile quick-change pallet system tailored for light-duty milling and small workpieces. WIth a module height of only 20 mm, NSE mini modules are perfect for compact machining centers, 5-axis applications with limited Z-clearance, or mounting multiple clamping points on a fixture plate. Operating on the same zero-point system as other VERO-S modules this vise packs a smaller pull-in force—up to 6 kN—suited for smaller parts.
| Key Features | |
| Ultra-Flat Design | 20 mm in height, the NSE mini modules add very little stack height to your setup—maximizing the usable work envelope of your machine which is crucial for 5-axis machining of small parts; densely arrange NSE mini clamping points on a plate for holding many tiny workpieces at once |
| Ideal for Light Cutting & Small Parts | Slightly lower clamping forces (up to 6 kN pull-down) compared to full-size modules make this module ideal for thin or delicate components and light machining operations |
| Fast Acting, Spring Clamped | Clamps via spring force and opens with 6 bar of pneumatic pressure—self-locking, form-fit clamping guarantees that even if air is disconnected, the module stays locked |
| High Precision Zero-Point | Despite its small size, the NSE mini achieves repeat positioning accuracy better than 0.005 mm |
| Versatile Mounting & Configurations | Allows for very small or variable mounting hole patterns to be implemented on fixtures—with a variety of SCHUNK mini clamping stations, pallets, and clamping pin options, you can configure a custom solution easily |
