DIMENSIONS
The Siegel Shuttle Tooling System |
The
Siegel Rotary Pallet System is a simple manual pallet
changer that holds two pallets on either side of an indexing
table. Pallets are moved to and from the machine receiver by
turning the rotary table 180 degrees and rolling the pallet on and
off.
Easy Manual Operation
You can easily
rotate the carousel and roll the pallet onto the receiver
manually. Pallets loaded with heavy work pieces are rotated
smoothly and effortlessly on ball bearing races and transferred to
the receiver on rollaway bearings.
Operator Friendly
The Siegel
Rotary system is preferred by many machine operators because it is
compactly located in front of the machining center, with room on
three sides to load and unload the off-line pallets. The
transfer bridge from the changer to machine table swings open to
provide easy access to the spindle and work piece.
Engineered For Safety
A simple
mechanical safety interlock system prevents pallet movement during
carousel turning and prior to roll-on/roll-off. A second
interlock insures the machine tool cannot be operated until the
pallet is clamped to the receiver.
Versatility
The pallet
receiver is only 3.5" high, an important plus for smaller VMC's
where spindle height is limited.
Simple Installation
Four heavy-duty steel posts replace a needlessly elaborate
columnar system and floor plate. Vertical Adjustment is made with worm
screws on each post. Simple floor anchor bolts are all that's needed
for mounting.
No air or
electrical connections are required for the rotary machine, although
an air blast hose is useful for clearing chips. The park
station has a huge full-width chute and chip bucket that makes
clean-up fast and easy.
Models for Flexibility
Model
R-1625 has a standard 16"W x 25"L receiver and pallet.
Oversized pallets up to 20" x 30" can be accommodated. Model
R-2025 has a standard 20" x 25" receiver and pallet. It can
handle oversize pallets up to 24" x 30". The R-2035 has pallet
and receiver dimensions of 20" x 35". Pallets up to 24" x 42"
can be accommodated. Custom machines of any size are also
available.
Rugged and Inexpensive
The
Siegel Rotary Pallet Changer is very simply designed and
built, far less complicated that competitive systems. It is
built for rugged, long-term service, yet is a great deal less
expensive.
