Increase the Lights-Out Capactity of Your FMS With Automated Pallet Loading
Why and When Automate FMS Pallet Loading?
Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) can significantly increase spindle utilization by enabling lights-out machining. But what if pallet loading can’t keep pace, limiting your ability to build a sufficient buffer for unmanned production? In this webinar recording, you can learn how FMS Pallet Auto-Loading Cell (ALD) enables extremely long unmanned FMS production cycles without investing in a huge amount of fixtures. You’ll see how automated loading helps you to manufacture 24/7, and allows an economical way to run both long series and small batches efficiently in the same system
Watch the automated FMS pallet loading webinar and learn
- Typical factors that could limit unmanned FMS performance—and how pallet auto-loading removes these constraints.
- How automated loading keeps machines running during nights and weekends, maximizing machining revenue.
- How auto-loading cell has potential to reduce pallet and fixture investments.
- How auto-loading cell looks like and how does it work.
- How material logistics can be handled using internal or external material storage.
For whom is this webinar intended?
- Companies that are using or considering FMS, and want to maximize unmanned machining capacity – most typically companies looking for fully unmanned night shifts, weekend production, or willing to run both high and low volumes in the same system.
- Students, consultants and researchers – those interested to learn more on how the value is created with FMS and how to extend the lights-out capacity with unmanned pallet loading.
