How can I prevent the locating tabs on MaxxMacro 54 and MaxxMacro 70 pallets from breaking?
Updated
Locating tabs can break if a pallet is dropped, placed at an angle, or twisted into engagement with the chuck. The risk is greater when handling large fixtures.
To prevent damage:
- Fully retract the locking screw before changing the pallet on a manual chuck.
- Lower the pallet squarely and level onto the chuck, without dropping or striking it.
- Make sure the tabs engage the locators and the pallet is seated flat.
- Clamp only after the pallet is correctly seated. Do not twist it into position while actuating the chuck.
