PALLETECH

What is PALLETECH?

The PALLETECH System is exclusive to Mazak and brings advanced, pre-engineered automation to today’s machining environments. It is a Multi-Tasking solution for any manufacturing or volume requirement, and is compatible with all of our horizontal machining centers and most of our vertical and 5-axis machining centers.

With our PALLETECH Manufacturing Cell controller software over standard PCs and networks, shop management can monitor operations, view and change schedules on-the-fly, manage part program files from anywhere on the network, track tool life/breakage and issue instructions to the shop floor. Users are able to interrupt a planned machining queue and produce an emergency part with no cost penalty.

Why PALLETECH?

PALLETECH provides flexibility in production and is efficient in both low- and high-volume production. It is available in a wide range of system layouts, including one, two and three level configurations. Furthermore, it is modular so you can easily add pallets as well as loading and wash stations – pacing your capital investment with the growth of your business. PALLETECH accommodates up to 16 machines, 6 to 240 pallets and as many as 8 loading stations. In fact, the benefits of our PALLETECH system are so great, we use it in our own manufacturing facilities.

Quality Control

The PALLETECH is our own unique design and because we manufacture it ourselves, we can ensure balanced workpiece capacity with our machines. Before a PALLETECH installation takes place, we offer many of our customers free simulations to make sure the PALLETECH configuration they want has the capacity to meet their workflow requirements. As such, the PALLETECH has the highest number of successful installations of any pallet handling system on the market.
