The Automatic Pallet Changer for the HAAS DT-2 is a premier automation solution from MIDACO designed to dramatically increase productivity and machine utilization on the HAAS DT-2 Vertical Machining Center. This Series 16A Pallet Changer system is built around a heavy-duty Pneumatic Receiver capable of handling a maximum load of 500 lbs (227 kg) when the weight is evenly distributed, ensuring stability even with large or heavy workpieces. The system comes complete with two 28 inch by 15 inch by 1-25 inch End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets which facilitate quick and precise material setups outside the machine’s work envelope.

The core component is the Series 16 End Load Shuttle unit, which includes a synchronized Automatic Door and an indicator lamp to signal cycle status, making unmanned or lights-out manufacturing possible. By enabling operators to set up the next job while the current part is being machined, the MIDACO Pallet Changer effectively eliminates load-unload downtime and delivers quality and excellence in design and performance. The system is also available with options such as a Hydraulic Docking System and a Robot-Cobot Ready Mount for advanced automated workholding and robotic tending applications.
