PALLET POOL

FULLY INTEGRATED

PALLET POOL SYSTEMS

High-volume production, unattended operation

Whether you’re doing high-volume production runs, high-mix/low-volume machining, or just want to run lights-out, our fully integrated pallet pool systems can boost your productivity. 

They integrate seamlessly with the Haas control, which includes a simplified Pallet Schedule Table that allows pallet-scheduling functions from a single dedicated screen.

  • Fully integrated solution for lights-out production
  • Easy-to-use scheduling interface in the Haas control
  • Dedicated load/unload station

Video: Boost Production on a VF-2YT

The VF-2YT series Pallet Pool increases spindle run time and allows for unattended automation so you can run more parts at the end of the day. 

Using 4 total pallets (1 machining and 3 storage locations), this pallet pool is a must-have for shops looking to boost throughput using the small footprint of the VF-2YT series machines.

Video: Haas Robotic Pallet Loader

In this video, Mike introduces Haas’ new Robotic Pallet Loader. This scalable and affordable Pallet Loading System includes the Haas 25 kg capacity robot, loading station, light curtain, pallet rack, and 3 zero point pallets. The RPL is plug-and-play compatible with Haas UMCs, and small and medium VMCs. All set up and operation are done through the Haas control and remote jog handle.

Easy Pallet Scheduling

Pallets can be scheduled individually according to priority and sequencing requirements, directly at the Haas control. The pallets can be scheduled individually according to priority and sequencing requirements, allowing high-priority parts to be machined first or staged more often. 

Completed pallets are returned automatically to the holding location, or can be sequenced to a protected operator station for immediate unloading and re-loading.

One-Touch function keys from the Pallet Scheduling Table (PST) simplify common tasks when operating the machine.

Video: How to use the scheduling table

In this video, Mitchell gives us a thorough walk-through on the ins and outs of scheduling your work on a Haas Pallet Pool system.

Everything you need is easily accessible on one screen on the Haas control, and you’ll find the Pallet Schedule Table is quick to understand and navigate.

Video: Haas Customer Spotlight - Too High PSI

Haas recently had the opportunity to visit the TooHighPSI workshop and talk with Mike about the high-performance parts they’re making and how Haas machines and pallet pools fit into their manufacturing program.

VIDEO: UMC-500SS and Pallet Pool

The compact footprint of the Haas UMC-500SS Series makes it a perfect solution for 3+2 machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining of smaller parts. The UMC-500SS is equipped with a faster spindle, high-speed tool changer, and high-speed trunnion table to reduce cycle times and boost productivity. Couple this with our 10-Station Pallet Pool and you’ll be taking your production to the next level; where running “lights out” becomes a reality.

New M-Code

We developed a new M-code for use with Automatic Pallet Changers.

M199 is typically used at the end of a program. When the program is started by pressing [CYCLE START] in Memory mode, the M199 acts exactly like an M30 (Program End and Reset).

But if the program is started by pressing [INSERT] while the Pallet Schedule Table is displayed (PALLET MODE), the M199 will command a pallet change to load the next scheduled pallet, and then run the program associated with that pallet. This allows the user to start machining on any pallet, even a mid-program start, and continue uninterrupted machining, as long as pallets are scheduled.
