The Midaco A2216SD Dual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets is an essential upgrade for any Vertical Machining Center seeking to maximize spindle utilization and boost overall productivity. This system is specifically designed to facilitate non-stop machining by allowing the operator to safely set up the next job on one pallet while the machine is actively cutting on the other. This process effectively eliminates costly downtime associated with load-unload sequences.

The A2216SD package includes a Series 16A pneumatic receiver with an integrated air blast function that cleans the mating surface before pallet exchange, ensuring unmatched repeatability and precision. The system is supplied with four durable 22 inch by 15 inch (558.8 mm x 381 mm) cast aluminum pallets designed for quick setup and stability. The dual shuttle unit features an automatic door and an indicator lamp to clearly signal the system status. With a generous 500 lb (227 kg) capacity per pallet (weight evenly distributed), the A2216SD is robust enough to handle a wide variety of parts and fixtures, making it a powerful solution for shops looking to leverage automation for increased profitability.
