The AS4525SDCI Dual Pallet Changer with Cast Iron Pallets is a robust and essential automation solution for boosting productivity on vertical machining centers. As part of the Series S50 “Stretch” Dual Pallet line, this system is engineered for continuous, unattended operation, allowing the operator to set up a new job on one pallet while the machine is actively cutting on the other.

This heavy-duty system includes four 45 inch by 24 inch by 1-5 inch (1-143 mm by 609-6 mm by 38-1 mm) cast iron pallets, providing a stable, vibration-dampening work surface ideal for large or heavy workpieces. The system boasts a 2-000 lb (908 kg) capacity per pallet (when weight is evenly distributed).

Key components include a Series 36A Pneumatic Receiver with Air Blast for precise seating and chip removal, and a Series S40 End Load Shuttle unit equipped with an Automatic Door and indicator lamp for seamless pallet exchange and safety. This pallet changer significantly increases machine spindle utilization by eliminating downtime spent loading and unloading parts in the machining envelope.
