Machining & loading in parallel · significantly higher utilization · less auxiliary time
An exchange table (pallet exchange system) rotates two or more tables/pallets to exchange workpieces or fixtures rapidly — stripping changeover time out of spindle time so the machine truly "never stops".
In traditional machining, loading and changeover eat up huge auxiliary time with the machine idling. An exchange table lets in-machine cutting and out-of-machine loading run in parallel: while the machine cuts the current pallet, the operator loads the next workpiece outside — pallet swap takes only seconds.
Bowei Industrial exchange tables and pallet systems fit a wide range of machines, customized to your machine interface and table size. Standard pallet interfaces work with zero-point positioning to build efficient flexible machining cells.
For high-mix low-volume lines with frequent changeovers, payback is usually short — the capacity gain from higher utilization often covers equipment cost within months.
Keep your spindles cutting
Cutting and loading run in parallel — idle time approaches zero, capacity rises sharply.
Pallet/table exchange takes only seconds; auxiliary time shrinks dramatically.
Standard pallet interfaces combine with zero-point positioning for flexible cells.
Customized to machine interfaces and table sizes — VMCs, HMCs, turning centers.
