About

About The System: We designed and perfected the rotary pallet over 4 years machining different parts in our shop. The idea was born out of necessity to deal with the volume of parts needing to be machined. The main criteria to be met was to be able to keep the door closed and the machines running longer while combining ops and increasing accuracy. 

Accuracy: The design was based off turning material in a lathe on centers where you are able take the part in and out and maintain the highest degrees of accuracy. That and the ability to machine the part from multiple sides you're often able to the machine the dimensions with the tightest tolerances all in the first operation. Utilizing our rotary pallet to access more sides of a part eliminates potential fixturing errors as a part is re-loaded into multiple vise or pallet operations. Through various test we see repeatability under .0005".

Speed: Being able to work on multiple sides of your part allows you to make virtually any part in two operations saving time swapping parts on traditional pallets or vises. Also like traditional pallets, you save time with tool changes and being able to change pallets in seconds leading to more time with machine running. Compared to other tombstone systems where it can take an unreasonable amount of time to replacing all of your parts on the tombstone while it is in the machine. The parts on the Rotary Pallet are all removed and installed outside of the machine while the second pallet is in the machine keeping the machine running and making money.

Versatile: From are favorite Pitbull clamps to pinvises to simple bolting your parts down, there are thousands of possibilities to fixture machine your parts. You can order pallets from the selection of sizes we have or have us make custom sizes. You can make your own or simply attach the ends to the material that needs to be machined. Basic limitations apply only to the size of part and machine clearances.

Affordable: Simple solutions in our shop always outweigh overly complex ones and this system is no exception. The simplicity of our design makes our parts less expensive without compromising on quality.

With these solutions we have been able to increase productivity in our shop extensively and think we can help you do the same.
