The M1614FLR/2P Pallet Changer System Less Shuttle from Midaco is a high-quality, manual automation solution engineered to dramatically improve the productivity of your vertical machining center. The primary benefit of this front-load system is the ability to set up new jobs or unload finished parts outside of the machine’s work envelope while the spindle is running, effectively reducing costly machine downtime. This model is sold as a “Less Shuttle” system, providing the core components necessary for manual pallet exchange and part setup.

The system includes one Series 21FL Pneumatic Receiver, which features a substantial 300 lb (136.2 kg) capacity (when weight is evenly distributed) for securely locking pallets in place during machining. It comes standard with two durable 16 inch by 14 inch (406.4 mm x 355.6 mm) cast aluminum pallets designed for front loading ease. A critical safety and operational feature included is the Pallet Clamp Confirmation Switch with a 9-foot (2.74 m) cable, which provides a confirmation signal to the machine’s control that the pallet is correctly and securely clamped before the machining cycle can begin. The M1614FLR/2P is an economic yet powerful step towards automating your workflow and is designed to fit a wide range of VMCs.
