ONE Shuttle + FOUR Pallets = QUADRUPLE the Walk-Away Time
Conveniently access all 4 pallets from either flip-panel station located on 2 sides of the shuttle. Easily load and unload parts onto pallets with a crane or robot without any overhead obstruction.
Full 360 degree rotation of the shuttle's pallet carrousel.
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.
Servo driven with +/- 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. Durable precision ground steel rails and hardened locating pins/bushings assure +/- 0.0001” (0.0025mm) repeatability.
