Liebherr Automation Systems’ pallet handling system PHS-1500 is a solution for automatic loading and unloading of machining centers for parts mounted to fixtures. It is available in three basic sizes with payload capabilities ranging from 500 to 6,500 kilograms. The system can be used for a single machine or for a cell consisting of several machining centers. It can be installed new or retrofitted onto existing machining centers and different brands can be mixed within the same cell. Effective spindle time is improved since fixtures are tended outside of the machining center while the spindle is running. The fixture storage racks enables unattended lights-out operation. The PHS, with its capable cell controller from Soflex, offers advantages such as NC program and tool data management, eliminating interruptions before they emerge. Learn more at [www.liebherr.com].
