Webinar: Automated FMS Pallet Loading

WEBINAR 16 APRIL | INCREASE THE LIGHTS-OUT CAPACITY OF YOUR FMS

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, we explore 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.

What will you learn in this webinar?

• 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.
