Automatic magazine pallet change

By drastically reducing machining times, new high-speed milling centres have revolutionized the workshop. As a result new requirements for optimizing the production process have become apparent. Handling and setup times become the new "bottleneck" preventing the machinery being used to maximum advan- tage, even during unmanned machining operations.Using an automatic workpiece magazine increases machine tool autonomy and simplifies setup, offering both extreme flexibility and accuracy. The models proposed can be interfaced with the most widely used reference and palletizing systems, satisfying the requirements of mould and die-makers for small machine tools. The machining of copper or graphite electrodes, models, aluminium parts and steel blocks can now be mass pro- duced easily and economically.
