The A15040SD is a heavy-duty, automatic pallet changer designed to transform the efficiency of large Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) by minimizing non-cutting time. As part of the Midaco 150SD Series, this end-load shuttle system allows operators to safely set up the next job outside the machining enclosure while the current job is running, thus achieving near continuous spindle operation. The system includes two massive 150-inch by 39-inch by 2-5 inch (3-810 mm x 990 mm x 63-5 mm) cast aluminum pallets, which are lightweight yet sturdy enough to maximize the machine’s work envelope.

The package comes standard with two Series 52A pneumatic receivers that feature a total capacity of 8-000 lb (3-632 kg) when weight is evenly distributed. These receivers ensure repeatable pallet change positioning with high accuracy. The Series 150 End Load Shuttle unit incorporates an Automatic Door and an indicator lamp, enhancing both safety and ease of use. This premier product guarantees quality and excellence in design and manufacturing, providing a professional solution for heavy-duty, large-part machining applications globally.
