The A12030SD Automatic Single/Dual Pallet Changer is Midaco’s robust solution for automating production on large-format CNC machines, including Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) and Bridge Mills. This system is engineered for heavy-duty performance and significantly boosts efficiency by facilitating operator loading outside the machine enclosure. By performing tool setup, cleaning, and inspection on the external pallet, the system ensures the machine spindle experiences minimal downtime, translating directly into higher output and profitability.

The core of the system includes two durable 120 inch by 30 inch by 2-5 inch (3-048 mm by 762 mm by 63-5 mm) cast aluminum pallets, which are designed for end-loading and easily manage large, heavy workpieces. These pallets interface with two Series 52A pneumatic receivers featuring an integrated air blast to guarantee chip-free- high-precision docking. The receivers offer a combined maximum capacity of 8-000 lbs (3-632 kg) when the weight is evenly distributed. Safety and automation are integrated with the inclusion of the Series 120 End Load Shuttle, an Automatic Door, and an indicator lamp, making the A12030SD a reliable and indispensable upgrade for serious manufacturers seeking to increase throughput.
