), which is designed to be mounted on the standard MM LITE stand
assembly to the beams or on any other surface. The alternate version of the stand (shown in
) is designed to mount to custom fixturing on a plate only. All versions of the stand
are available in versions to support multiple Precision Locators.
When placing a large vertical load on the pallet in the Precision Locator the locator stand may
need to be located directly above a vertical support member (leg) for the transport system
stand.
Pallet
The pallet is used to carry the user’s payload and provides precision locating features that
align with the pins in the rocker arms on the Precision Locator. The pallet replaces the stan-
dard puck top plate. MagneMotion sells a standard pallet (refer to
Locator Basic Pallet Mechanical Drawing
).
Information is provided to allow the user to design and install their own custom pallet. In each
case, the pallet replaces the standard puck’s top plate to allow clamping by the locator’s arms
(refer to
) and has a pair of replaceable skis attached to its bottom sur-
face to allow it to ride on the MagneMover LITE motor rails.
Pallet Design
Basic pallet design guidelines and considerations (refer to
•
Bushing mount feature location tolerances to be included in pallet to pallet positional
repeatability tolerance stackup.
•
Plate thickness tolerance to be included in pallet to pallet height repeatability tolerance
stackup.
•
Material: Aluminum (alternate material allowed per MagneMotion approval).
•
Thickness: 8.0 mm [0.315 in].
•
Finish: Hard anodize per MIL-A-8625, TYPE III - all dimensions are after plating.
•
Vertical load on the pallet while clamped in the Precision Locator is limited only by
the physical properties of the materials of the pallet and stand and not by the locating
mechanism.
