The Midaco A16098SD is an industrial-grade Automatic Single-Dual Pallet Changer built for heavy-duty production and significant parts requiring large work envelopes. Engineered to be integrated with existing Vertical Machining Centers, this system drastically reduces spindle downtime by allowing operators to set up a new job on the external pallet while the machine is actively cutting on the internal pallet.

The system comes standard with two 160 inch by 98 inch cast aluminum pallets, making it suitable for some of the largest workpieces. It boasts a total impressive load capacity of 32-000 lbs (14-528 kg), ensuring stability and safety even with the heaviest fixtures and parts. The exchange mechanism features a Series 160 End Load Shuttle and is powered by two servo drive screws per shuttle for fast- precise- and reliable motion. The pallets seat onto four Series 81A pneumatic receivers that include an integrated air blast system to ensure a clean and accurate pallet seal every time. The entire system is completed with an automatic door and indicator lamp for seamless operation. This unit is essential for manufacturers seeking to transition to high-efficiency- lights-out or continuous-operation production models.
