Workpiece carriers for milled parts - more stable processes, less reworking, clear transfers
In the CNC production of milled parts, it is not only precision on the machine that counts - the handling of the machining process is also decisive for the reject rate, cycle time and cost-effectiveness. Workpiece carriers enable standardized, automatable and reliable parts logistics, from the blank to the finished part.
🔧 More process stability - even with complex geometries
Workpiece carriers secure each part in a repeatable position - ideal for:
- CNC centers with automatic pallet changer
- 5-axis machining centers where component positions must be precisely reproducible
- Robot loading of machines or cleaning systems
- Test stations with optical or tactile measurement technology
➡️ Result: Stable transfer, less reworking, continuous process chain without repositioning.
💸 Reduce costs through standardization
- Trays from €20 - suitable for series, pre-series and prototyping
- Modular clip systems enable new component mounting without a new carrier shape
- Quick changeover for component changes - ideal for small series or variant production
- Durable materials reduce replacement investments
⚙️ Optimal integration into production lines
Workpiece carriers are suitable for:
- Direct loading and unloading of machining centers
- Interlinking of washing systems, deburring stations and CMM inspection
- Storage and buffering between processing steps
- Use in ESD-sensitive areas thanks to dissipative materials
Workpiece carriers make the difference between manual handling and stable, automated parts logistics. They enable clean interfaces between machines, quality assurance and logistics - and thus increase the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in milled parts production.
