The A3018SDR4CI Pallet Pool by Midaco is a high-efficiency automation solution for Vertical Machining Centers in the Continental United States. This robust system is engineered to maximize productivity by allowing operators to load and unload parts on three external pallets while a fourth pallet is actively machining inside the VMC, resulting in a significant reduction in non-cutting time.

The core of the system is the Series 30R End Load Shuttle unit with an Automatic Door, which quickly and precisely exchanges the pallets. The system includes four heavy-duty 30-inch by 17-inch by 1-25-inch (762 mm by 431-8 mm by 31-7 mm) Cast Iron Pallets and a Series 30A Pneumatic Receiver with a 1-000 lb (454 kg) capacity (weight evenly distributed). Safety is paramount, with the shuttle guarded by a comprehensive light emitter, mirrors, and sensor system. The entire unit is controlled through a fully integrated panel that communicates directly with the VMC using M-codes, ensuring seamless automation and operation. This pallet pool is essential for shops looking to achieve continuous, high-output manufacturing.
