Pallet automation – helpful for small or large batch series production!
With pallet automation, workpieces are pre-set onto a pallet outside of the machine and loaded with clamping devices and workpieces WHILE the machine is running. ?Then when the machining is done, the entire pallet can be removed. Heavier pieces can be handled safely, and you immediately reduced set up times - even with low manpower. ?
SCHUNK has developed a special interface based on quick change clamping technology for pallet automation, consisting of a robot module and quick-change pallet coupling. The connection using quick-change pallet technology enables the automating of heavy weights because the clamping pallet is drawn in by the robot coupling via clamping pinned and then fastened. There are a diverse number of options suitable for varying workpiece shapes and sizes. ?
Small batch jobs can prepare new orders while chips are still flying!
Great solution if you were looking for a way to automatically load heavy or awkward sized workpieces! ?
Pallet automation sounds like a game changer for workflow efficiency! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves. What key innovations do you think will shape its future?
