DMG MORI Ships First Linear Pallet Pool Manufactured in the U.S.

Machine tool company DMG MORI USA shipped its first linear pallet pool produced in the company’s U.S. manufacturing plant. Based in Davis, California, DMG MORI Manufacturing USA reports that it utilizes recent investments to boost local production, and continues to provide technology, automation and digitization solutions that are precision machined and U.S.-assembled.

The LPP 40, previously manufactured in Japan, is DMG MORI’s 400-millimeter pallet-size linear pallet pool. It is said to be ideal for automating high-mix machining with the ability to handle a wide variety of parts, enabling customers to achieve lights-out manufacturing. Compatible with DMG MORI’s NHX 4000, another DMG MORI Manufacturing USA product, the LPP 40 is a highly flexible, multi-layer pallet pool system with up to eight machines, 99 pallets and five setup stations.

LPS 4 launched this year is DMG MORI’s fourth-generation linear pallet system control software and marks 20 years of in-house pallet pool control software development experience in the U.S. DMG MORI says this flexible control software has been redesigned for touch-based operation from any networked device. Integrated job planning, scheduling and reporting tools provide customers the digital power needed to enhance their shop productivity. Including machine, order and tooling statistics, LPS offers a concise look at production efforts complete with tool management integration enables customers to identify tool status and usage data.​

DMG MORI Manufacturing USA also hosts the Private Technology Tour, a monthly series focusing on pallet automation, robot automation and NHX horizontal machining centers, where customers can experience a new spin on manufacturing education. Interested parties are encouraged to work with their local area sales manager to attend and visit the local production of technology, automation and digitization, including the linear pallet pool.
