The A8030SD Dual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets is MIDACO’s solution for manufacturers seeking to maximize the productivity and efficiency of their vertical machining centers. This robust system is engineered to virtually eliminate wasted spindle time by allowing operators to safely set up a new job on the external pallet while another job is actively running inside the machine. This results in significantly increased production throughput.

The system handles substantial loads, featuring a Series 81A pneumatic receiver rated for an impressive 8-000 lb (3-632 kg) capacity, ensuring stable and reliable performance even with large or heavy fixtures and parts. The package includes four 80 inch by 29 inch by 2-5 inch (2-032 mm by 736-6 mm by 63-5 mm) end-load cast aluminum pallets, which are lighter than steel yet strong, supporting the overall load capacity. The Series 80 End Load Shuttle unit is equipped with an automatic door that seamlessly integrates with the machine control, and an indicator lamp signals the system status. With the optional integration of MIDACO’s Hydraulic Docking System, the A8030SD transforms into a comprehensive automation platform, ready to support automated workholding and further streamline your manufacturing process.
