Part carriers for milled parts – more stable processes, less rework, clear transfers

In the CNC manufacturing of milled parts, precision at the machine is not the only factor – the handling around the machining process also determines the reject rate, cycle time, and economic efficiency. Part carriers enable standardized, automatable, and process-reliable parts logistics, from raw parts to finished parts.

🔧 More process stability – even with complex geometries

Part carriers secure each part in a position with repeatable accuracy – ideal for:

  • CNC centers with automatic pallet changer
  • 5-axis machining centers, where component positions must be exactly reproducible
  • Robot loading of machines or cleaning systems
  • Testing stations with optical or tactile measurement technology

➡️ Result: Stable transfer, less rework, continuous process chain without repositioning.

💸 Reduce costs through standardization

  • Trays from  20 € – suitable for series production, pre-series and prototype construction
  • Modular clip systems enable new component mounting without new carrier design
  • Quickly retooled when changing components – ideal for small series or variant production
  • Durable materials reduce replacement investments

⚙️ Optimal integration into production lines

Part carriers are suitable for:

  • Direct loading and unloading of machining centers
  • Interlinking of washing systems, deburring stations and CMM inspection
  • Storing and buffering between processing steps
  • Use in ESD-sensitive areas due to dissipative materials

Part 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.
