ABSTRACT:
A pallet changer device is associated with a milling or machining device and has a table that indexes 180.degree.. A pallet is held in an upright position for loading of fresh workpieces, while machining is carried out automatically on workpieces on a similar pallet. When the machining is complete, the table indexes 180.degree. exposing an available station, and an arm retrieves the pallet of machined parts and moves it onto the table. Then the table is indexed again, and the pallet of fresh workpieces is moved to a work station at the machining device. A wash cycle is carried out on the pallet of workpieces, now suspended beneath the inverted table. After the cycle, the table is inverted placing the cleaned finished workpieces upright. These are removed from the pallet and replaced with fresh workpieces.
