A pallet tray for transporting and storing workpieces in an automatic feed system attached to a machine tool includes an elongated metallic base member 1 having a plurality of plastic inserts 2 mounted thereon. Each insert has one or more holding pockets 3 for the individual workpieces. The base member has an inverted U-shaped profile defining a recessed guide groove 7 in the longitudinal direction which cooperates with a guide rail of the workpiece feeding system. With such construction different inserts can be provided to accommodate variously configured workpieces to thereby avoid the separate injection molding of a number of differently dimensioned, complete pallet trays. |
