Once a job cycle is complete, pallets will rotate automatically on the shuttle carrousel, ready and scheduled to feed your VMC for multiple hours of unattended machining.

Durable precision ground steel rails and hardened locating pins/bushings assure +/- 0.0001” (0.0025mm) repeatability.

The shuttle's servo drive transfers the next pallet onto the cast iron receiver mounted directly onto the machining center table with +/- 0.0001” (0.0025mm) repeatability.
