The pallet is used to carry the payload and provides features for precision locating that align with the pins in the rocker arms on the precision locator. The pallet replaces the top plate on the standard glide puck. Rockwell Automation sells a standard pallet (see Figure 4-54, Precision Locator Glide Puck with Basic Pallet Mechanical Drawing, on page 162).
