The M3018FLCI is a robust and efficient Manual Pallet Changer from MIDACO, built specifically to boost the output of Vertical Machining Centers. This system utilizes a Front Load Shuttle Unit and two 30 inch by 18 inch (762 mm by 457.2 mm) by 1.25 inch thick cast iron pallets. Cast iron ensures maximum stability and rigidity for demanding milling applications.

The included Series 30FL Pneumatic Receiver has a standard capacity of 1-000 lbs (454 kg), with an optional upgrade available to 2-000 lbs (908 kg) for heavier workpieces, assuming the weight is evenly distributed. By enabling simultaneous loading and machining, the M3018FLCI system virtually eliminates downtime, allowing for continuous spindle operation. The system includes a Pallet Clamp Confirmation Safety Switch to guarantee the secure locking of the pallet before the machining cycle begins, promoting a safe and efficient workflow. This model is a cost-effective solution for increasing production and achieving a rapid return on investment.
