Charlie Mitchell, machinist for Andretti Autosport, spent up to eight hours setting up his five-axis machine with 10 tools to run 30 to 40 different processes on a part. Using UNILOK pallets, set-ups times are 70 to 80 percent shorter.

This modular UNILOCK Stabilizer System provides lateral support for tall parts during machining, welding or assembly processes and allows for the transfer of loads down to the table or base.

Charlie Mitchell of Andretti Autosport saw BIG KAISER’s Unilock pallets could help him reduce setup time on where quick turnaround is essential.
