What is the difference between MaxxMacro cast pallets and MaxxMacro Performance Pallets?

MaxxMacro (System 3R OEM 100% cross-compatible) cast pallets are ground on the top and bottom faces. MaxxMacro Performance Pallets are fully machined and ground from solid 440C stainless steel blanks rather than castings.

Cast pallets are priced nearly 60% below System 3R’s standard cast pallets. They provide comparable repeatability of 2 microns and height tolerances within 2 microns.

MaxxMacro Performance Pallets are priced at 75% of the cost of a System 3R base pallet and about one-third of the cost of a Nano pallet. They are corrosion resistant without plating.

The Performance tab design includes a lead-in and a smaller gap to reduce misalignment and breakage during automation.

For an example of sub-micron performance over 10 years, see the pallet-cycle study.
