Fastems has introduced Version 8 of its Flexible Pallet Container (FPC 8), which provides simple and extendable automation for one to three CNC milling machines with 400-mm to 1,000-mm pallets. FPC 8 also includes the new FPC-1800, which accommodates 12 to 36 pallets measuring 630 mm to 800 mm in a 2.4- by 9.2-meter footprint.
With a library of hundreds of ready-made machine interfaces for over 100 brands, the system integrates with horizontal machining centres and can create machine tool utilization of up to 85 per cent with short set up times. The system can be extended to include up to two additional containers, increasing capacity to 24 or 36 pallets running on two to three machines. SAS Cable Welding Machine
The FPC 8 is controlled by Fastems’ Version 8 Manufacturing Management Software (MMS).
It features an optional Basic Loading Station (LSB) with pallet height adjustment, specifically designed for jobs with various fixture heights, to provide personalized work positions for each operator while clamping and unclamping workpieces. For systems with a single fixture height or with just a couple of users, the standard Compact Loading Station (LSC) is a good choice.
