The LPP – Linear Pallet Pool – from DMG MORI is a flexible pallet handling system to optimize production and make it more economical. A linear storage system reduces production lead times, increases flexibility, and enables temporary unmanned production and longer spindle running times of the connected machine tools. There is an additional benefit from the modularity of the LPP – it can be individually configured according to customer requirements and is available either with a single or twin fork pallet handling device for a transfer weight of up to 6,000 kg or as a pallet shuttle for a transfer weight of up to 15 tons.
Staub boasts 13 horizontal 4-axis machining centers on three linear pallet pool systems with over 100 pallets allowing high production, cost-effective milling, and high-mix/low-volume capabilities.
The DMG Mori Linear Pallet Pools are a freely scalable storage system that can connect up to 10 machines and five set-up stations, allowing Staub the flexibility to service customers no matter their specific job requirements.
