Automated pallet system

Schuler's LoadMaster enables fast feeding and linking of machine tools with a minimum of staff. The system's particular strength is said to be its high degree of flexibility, enabling it to be adapted to varying production requirements.

Schuler Automation in Gemmingen, Germany, has been creating equipment for the automated feeding and linking of machine tools for over 20 years. There are two basic variants available: the LoadMaster Compact is a quickly available modular solution for the automation of single or multiple machine tools of similar construction. The LoadMaster Flex is a freely configurable system which offers numerous variation possibilities and can be used to link differing machine tools. It can also handle Euro pallets with raw materials. The LoadMaster Compact is designed for weights of up to 1.5 tonnes and workpiece sizes of up to 1.40 m in diameter.
