The A8680SD Single/Dual Pallet Changer from MIDACO is a robust, automated solution designed to maximize spindle uptime on large-scale Vertical Machining Centers and Bridge Mills. This system allows operators to perform part setup and unloading safely outside the machining area while the machine continues its cutting cycle. The core of the system is its capability to automatically exchange one of two large aluminum pallets into the machine enclosure with precision and reliability.

The system includes two durable 86 inch by 80 inch by 2-5 inch (2184-4 mm by 2032 mm by 63-5 mm) End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets. These pallets can handle a combined total capacity of 16-000 lb (7-264 kg) when the weight is evenly distributed. Included in the package is the Series 81A pneumatic receiver system with integrated air blast, ensuring the critical pallet seating surface is clean for precise and repeatable positioning with every change. The system also comes with the Series 80 End Load Shuttle, an Automatic Door, and an indicator lamp to facilitate seamless and safe operation. This pallet changer is an essential upgrade for manufacturers seeking increased throughput and efficiency from their large VMCs.
