The A6440SD Dual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets from MIDACO is engineered for large vertical machining centers requiring high throughput and minimal downtime. This robust system is built around a Series 52A pneumatic receiver capable of handling a 4-000 lb (1816 kg) load (when evenly distributed), ensuring stable transfer of heavy workpieces. The system comes complete with four 64 inch x 39 inch x 2 inch (1625-6 mm x 991 mm x 50-8 mm) End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets, providing a lightweight yet rigid platform for fixturing.

The primary function of the A6440SD is to facilitate non-stop machining. Operators can safely and efficiently unload finished parts and set up the next job on the exterior pallet while the machine is actively cutting on the interior pallet, dramatically reducing spindle downtime. The system includes two Series 60 End Load Shuttle units equipped with an Automatic Door and indicator lamp for synchronized and protected operation. This dual pallet changer is also available with options like a Hydraulic Docking System for automated workholding and a Light Curtain Package for enhanced safety, cementing its role as a core component in automated manufacturing environments.
