The A12040SD Dual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets is a premier production enhancement system from Midaco, built to maximize spindle uptime on large Vertical Machining Centers. This robust system is supplied with four durable 120 inch by 39 inch by 2 point 5 inch cast aluminum pallets, ensuring flexible job queuing and preparation outside the machine’s work envelope. It is engineered for heavy-duty applications, supporting a combined total load of up to 8-000 lbs (3-632 kg) with weight evenly distributed, making it ideal for processing large or heavy components.

The system includes two Series 52A pneumatic receivers, each featuring an air blast function to ensure debris-free pallet docking and pinpoint accuracy every time a pallet enters the machining center. The Series 120 End Load Shuttle unit is designed for safety and ease of use, incorporating an Automatic Door and an indicator lamp to signal cycle status. By allowing the operator to set up the next job on one pallet while the other is being machined, the A12040SD virtually eliminates idle time between cuts, resulting in significantly higher output and a fast return on investment.
