Designed to work with traveling-column or bridge-type machining centers, automatic pallet changers feature servodrives for pallet transfer and indexing. The compact, end-loaded units are available with pallet sizes from 30- × 16-in. up to 40- × 20-in. They can load and unload pallets in about 20 seconds with ±0.0001-in. repeatability.
The load/unload cycle starts when the automatic door opens. An electric servo-driven screw transfers the completed pallet from the machining center to the shuttle, where the servo-driven table indexes 180° to allow part loading/unloading. The shuttle's rotary design allows loading and unloading from the front of the machine, increasing operator productivity.
The shuttle requires minimal floorspace, a single control M function, 220-Vpower, and compressed air.
