The key to becoming locally and globally competitive is to
minimize the labor content of your operations. And the key to plant-floor labor
optimization is automation.
Palletech palletized machining systems are pre-engineered
automation that can serve one machining center with a few pallets – or up to
eight machines with (100) pallets. And, you can add machines, pallets and
load/unload stations as you need them, pacing your capital investment with the
growth of your business.
Palletech includes a simple, yet effective scheduler, which
allows jobs to be queued and prioritized for “lights out” operation. Yet when
the prototype job or the emergency delivery arises, as it always does, it can be
given top priority in the schedule without the need for re-organizing other
work.
Palletech cells are an effective strategy for both
low-volume and high-volume requirements. Resident pallets and part fixtures
make lots-of-one manufacturing economical, and tombstones with multi-part
fixtures serve higher production users. These cells are compatible with
Horizontal Machining Centers, Variaxis 5-axis Centers, plus the ultimate
Multi-Tasking machines, the Integrex Series.
