The AS5020SDR4CI Pallet Pool is a robust and essential automation solution for high-volume machining, significantly reducing downtime by allowing operators to set up three new jobs while one is being machined. This system includes a Series 36A, 2-000 lb (908 kg) capacity Pneumatic Receiver that rapidly loads and unloads pallets with a weight evenly distributed. It comes complete with four heavy-duty 50-inch by 19-inch by 1-5 inch (1-270 mm x 482-6 mm x 38-1 mm) end-load cast iron pallets that ensure maximum stability and rigidity during machining.

The system features the Series S50R End Load Shuttle unit, which includes an Automatic Door and state-of-the-art shuttle guarding using a 3-sided light curtain with light emitters, mirrors, and sensors for enhanced operator safety. The Pallet Pool’s control panel is designed for seamless operation, being fully integrated with the VMC via M-codes. This integration simplifies the programming and provides reliable, automated part transfer. This model is for the Continental United States only, and guarantees improved efficiency, reduced labor costs, and higher output from your Vertical Machining Center.
