LPSII Linear Pallet System

September 27, 2016

Doosan Machine Tools America offers a range of automation devices to enable customers to extend machining time during staffed shifts and for “lights out” operations, such as the “LPSII” linear pallet system.

“We classify this system as ‘compact’ with a 12-pallet capacity serving one machine,” said Jim Im, Doosan’s engineering Manager – machining centers. “We offer more extensive systems – some with up to 72 pallets. We designed the LPSII compact system with floor space concerns in mind. Many of our customers want to boost productivity but can’t add real estate. Customers are generally surprised at how simple it is to integrate with one of our newer horizontal machining centers out in the field. Installation only takes about 5 days. It adds a remarkable level of continuous production, particularly for those customers who are new to the concept. Training for the system is less than two days.”

Workpieces sizes up to 800 mm in diameter x 900 mm high (31.4 x 35.4 in.) can be accommodated on each pallet and with weights up to 500 kg (1102.5 lbs.).
