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.
