Changing Up
A Michigan manufacturer describes its progress with pallet-changing systems, advancing from manual to automatic pallet-switching on its VMCs.

VMC, Pallet System Keep Work Flowing
A Haas VMC with a Midaco pallet changer not only freed additional capacity on the HMCs this shop uses for tight-tolerance production work, but also reduced cycle times in some cases.

Pallet Changer Keeps Machine and Operator Busy
A new VMC with an automated pallet changer helped this shop meet customer requirements for lower prices and faster deliveries.

Automatic Pallet System Helps Pick Up The Pace
Racecar drivers need high-performance components to win races, but manufacturing those components requires speed, too. An automated pallet changer helped this shop boost production not only for its auto customers, but also for customers in aerospace, medical and other industries.

Automatic Pallet Systems Increase Production And Quality
These pallet changer systems not only improved this tooling manufacturer's labor situation, but they managed to increase their production as much as 600 percent on some of its indexable cutting tool products.

Revving Up Productivity With A Pallet Changer
Recently, this motorcycle manufacturer purchased a new vertical machining center when faced with the challenge of reducing cycle time, increasing employee output and improving manufacturing efficiency and profitability on the line.

Pallet Systems Help Deliver
For this shop, a pallet system becomes a smart way not only to get more cutting time out of the machine, but as a quick way to pay back the investment in their machine.

Bolt-On Productivity
Retrofitting an auxiliary pallet changer allowed this shop to get 'horizontal-like' production efficiency out of a vertical machining center.

Low Cost Machine - High Efficiency Machining
This captive machine shop gets extremely high utilization of their vertical machining centers through clever workholding and handling procedures.
