The A3018SDR4CELC Pallet Pool System by Midaco is a high-efficiency automation solution specifically configured for international export, adhering to CE standards. This system is engineered to dramatically increase spindle utilization and productivity on Vertical Machining Centers by allowing operators to safely stage and load workpieces while the machine continues cutting. The system includes four 30 inch by 17 inch by 1-5 inch cast aluminum pallets that are end-loaded, providing ample space for fixtures and parts.

Central to the system is the Series 30R End Load Shuttle unit, which automatically exchanges pallets and is protected by comprehensive shuttle guarding, including a light emitter- mirrors- and sensors. The robust pneumatic receiver boasts a 1-000 lb (454 kg) capacity for evenly distributed loads. For seamless operation, the entire system’s control panel is fully integrated with the VMC using M-codes, allowing for complete automation of the pallet change cycle. This Pallet Pool is an essential upgrade for manufacturers seeking to reduce setup time, facilitate unmanned machining, and realize a faster return on investment in a CE-regulated environment outside of the Continental United States.
