The A12060SD Y-Axis Shift Pallet Changer is a substantial automation solution from Midaco, built to transform your large Vertical Machining Center into a high-production workhorse. This system is designed around two 120 inch by 60 inch by 2-5 inch (3-048 mm x 1-525 mm x 63-5 mm) End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets, offering a massive working surface for oversized parts. With a total system capacity of 16-000 lbs (7-264 kg), evenly distributed, this pallet changer handles heavy, demanding jobs with ease.

The key feature of this model is the Automatic Y-Axis Shift Pallet System, which uses a Series 120 End Load Shuttle unit to move the next pallet into the machining envelope. This, combined with the Automatic Door, facilitates lightning-fast pallet changes, drastically minimizing downtime and allowing operators to safely set up the next job while the machine is running. The system includes four Series 52A Pneumatic Receivers with air blast to ensure precise, clean, and repeatable pallet location every time, guaranteeing consistent machining accuracy. This heavy-duty automation system is essential for manufacturers looking to achieve significant gains in throughput and efficiency on their largest machining projects.
