The AS5020SD Dual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets is a robust and essential automation solution for Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) that require increased productivity and large workpiece capacity. The system’s main components include a Series 36A pneumatic receiver with a built-in air blast, engineered to handle a substantial 2000 lb (908 kg) load (when weight is evenly distributed).

This “Stretch” Dual Pallet Changer comes standard with four 50 inch by 19 inch by 2 inch (1270 mm by 482-6 mm by 50-8 mm) End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets, offering a large surface area for fixture mounting and accommodating oversized parts. The system utilizes two Series S40 End Load Shuttle units that facilitate quick and safe pallet exchange. This capability allows operators to set up a new job or load and unload parts on the external pallet while the machine is actively cutting, thereby eliminating spindle downtime due to part changeover. For enhanced safety and convenience, the system is equipped with an Automatic Door and indicator lamp. The AS5020SD is a premier product recognized for its quality and design, helping manufacturers achieve maximum efficiency.
