The A14940SD Single/Dual Pallet Changer is a robust and flexible pallet system from Midaco, specifically engineered to automate large Vertical Machining Centers and Bridge Mills. This system dramatically increases machine tool productivity by facilitating non-stop production. It includes two massive 149 inch by 40 inch by 2-5 inch end load cast aluminum pallets, which are both lightweight for quick transfer and rigid enough to handle large, heavy workpieces.

The system is equipped with two Series 52A pneumatic receivers that feature an air blast mechanism to ensure precise and contaminant-free seating of the pallets, guaranteeing accuracy between pallet changes. The unit boasts a total handling capacity of 8-000 lbs (3-632 kg) with the weight evenly distributed, accommodating heavy-duty applications. The core of the automation system is the Series 140 End Load Shuttle and Automatic Door, which work together to perform swift pallet exchanges, keeping the spindle active and running for nearly continuous operation. This feature, along with the ability to set up future jobs offline, offers a significant return on investment.
