The AS5025SDCI Dual Pallet Changer from MIDACO is a robust automation solution engineered to maximize spindle uptime and increase throughput on vertical machining centers. Classified as an automatic “Stretch” Dual Pallet Changer, this system significantly reduces machine downtime by allowing operators to set up jobs on one pallet outside the machine while the other pallet is actively being machined inside the work envelope.

The system includes two durable 50 inch by 24 inch by 1-5 inch (1270 mm by 609-6 mm by 38-1 mm) cast iron pallets, chosen for their stability and vibration damping qualities. Each pallet is rated for a substantial 2-000 lb (908 kg) maximum capacity when the weight is evenly distributed. The core of the system is the Series 36A pneumatic receiver, which features an integrated air blast to ensure consistent chip evacuation and high-precision pallet seating every single time. The exchange process is streamlined by the Series S40 End Load Shuttle unit, which includes a safety-focused automatic door and indicator lamp. The AS5025SDCI is also “Robot/Cobot Ready” with available mounting options, making it a highly adaptable component for manufacturers looking to integrate advanced automation into their production lines.
