We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pallet Transfer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Flexible pallet transfer lowers assembly costs from
ACI-ecoTec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A flexible system of a wide range of modular components for simple workstations or complex multi-station automated assembly machinery can be readily reconfigured and expanded".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Compact pallet handling system introduced from
Fastems Divisions, Helvar: "A compact machine tool pallet handling system is intended for users who wish to raise production from one or two existing or new machining centres".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Bosch Rexroth
concerning its Assembly system rationalisation
- take a look at Automation system upgraded to 5m units/year
which says: "A tyre pressure sensor manufacturer wished to upgrade its production line - installed in 1999 - to increase the capacity from 3 million to 5 million units/year by installing more automation".
Take a look also at the news release from MOTOMAN Robotics Europe, Robotic system automates product stacking,
as well as FMS retrofit boosts machining centre output by 70% from Fastems Divisions, Helvar,
and Flexible 5-axis HMC system replaces transfer lines from StarragHeckert UK.
