The M1614FL Manual Pallet Changer with Aluminum Pallets offers a straightforward and highly effective solution for shops seeking to minimize non-productive time on their vertical machining centers. This essential accessory enhances efficiency by allowing operators to safely load and unload parts outside of the machining center while the spindle is engaged in cutting operations. The result is a substantial increase in overall spindle uptime and production output.

The M1614FL system includes two 16 inch by 14 inch by 1 inch (406.4 mm x 355.6 mm x 25.4 mm) Front Load Cast Aluminum Pallets, each capable of holding up to 300 lb (136.2 kg) of evenly distributed weight. The system utilizes a Series 21FL Pneumatic Receiver to secure the pallet accurately inside the machine and a Series 20 Front Load Shuttle Unit for smooth manual transfer. For enhanced safety and integration, a Pallet Clamp Confirmation Switch is also provided. The unit’s front-load design offers flexibility, though a Pallet Transfer Bridge may be required depending on obstructions in front of the machine tool. By investing in the M1614FL, shops gain a reliable, high-capacity solution that delivers immediate payback through improved efficiency and minimized cycle times.
