  • Method and system for switching a workpiece
    Patent number: 12637299
    Abstract: In a method for switching a workpiece, which is fixed on a pallet, after one workpiece side has been machined in a horizontal machine tool, the pallet is brought into a transfer position in which the machined side of the workpiece faces in a direction toward a pallet support, an additional pallet is provided there, and the workpiece is transferred, with the machined side first, onto a clamping apparatus of the additional pallet and is guided back into the tool with the additional pallet. In a system for switching, the pallet support has a positioning device by means of which the semi-machined workpiece can be transferred, with the machined side first, to a clamping apparatus of the additional pallet.
