French term or phrase: palette
The document is a machine tool user guide, and "palette" is referred to once in a section on "mandrins et pinces":

En complément, il existe de vastes programmes de mandrins, **palettes** et serrages Yerly et Mecatool.

The appropriate Yerly and Mecatool websites are:

http://www.yerly.net/index.php/fr/yerly-serrage

http://www.mahonsa.ch/29203/45240.html

where you can see illustrations and descriptions. Clearly it's a type of chuck but I can't find a specific English word.

Explanation:
Can't think of a specific word as it appears to be a separate part from the 'chuck'. I think they are using the word palette to describe its function rather than its name.

workpiece pallet


Explanation:
In machine tool loading, workpiece pallets are used to precisely locate the piece to be machined (or worked on) with respect to the tooling. Google "workpiece pallet" and you will find several patents. Pallet is a general term, but workpiece pallet is specific in that it carries the part to be processed in a precise location in x, y and z axes.

The pallet may have mounted on it a "fixture" to hold the workpiece. The fixture is positioned precisely with respect to the pallet. The pallet is fixtured precisely in the machine, usually by pins called "shot pins". Some fixtures are called "nests" because they hold a contoured part in a machined or moulded nest for location accuracy.
