The A2216SDCELC is a dedicated Automatic Pallet Changer system from Midaco, specifically configured with a CE safety package for international markets requiring stringent safety compliance. This End Load model is engineered to drastically reduce machine downtime by implementing an automated exchange process. It allows the operator to efficiently load and unload new workpieces on the queue pallet while the second pallet is simultaneously secured inside the machine cutting parts, ensuring maximum spindle utilization.

The system’s advanced safety features include an End Load Shuttle unit with an Automatic Door and comprehensive three-sided shuttle guarding secured by an advanced light curtain. This safety barrier utilizes a light emitter, mirrors, and sensors to protect the operator during the exchange cycle. The pneumatic receiver features a crucial air blast mechanism to guarantee debris-free mounting, ensuring precise and repeatable pallet location within the machine tool. The A2216SDCELC comes standard with two robust 22 inch by 15 inch by 1 inch thick cast aluminum pallets and is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 500 lbs (227 kg) when the load is evenly distributed. This system is a reliable and crucial investment for manufacturing facilities focused on improving productivity and automation efficiency.
