The A3016SDCI Pallet Changer with Cast Iron Pallets is a robust and efficient automation solution from MIDACO Corporation, purpose-built to optimize productivity for Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs). By allowing operators to set up the next job while the machine is actively cutting, this system virtually eliminates spindle downtime associated with manual load and unload processes.

This model is an End Load Shuttle unit that comes complete with an Automatic Door and a visual indicator lamp for seamless integration into the VMC workflow. The system’s core components include a Series 30A pneumatic receiver with an integrated air blast feature to ensure accurate and debris-free pallet seating, supporting a standard capacity of 1-000 lbs (454 kgs) of evenly distributed weight. It is supplied with two durable Cast Iron Pallets, each measuring 30 inches by 15-point-5 inches. The heavy-duty cast iron construction of the pallets offers superior rigidity and stability for precision machining. Furthermore, the A3016SDCI is designed to be Robot-Cobot Ready with optional mounting kits, allowing for future automation upgrades and flexible manufacturing integration.
