The AS5020SDR4CICELC Automatic 4-Pallet Pool system from MIDACO is a robust, high-capacity automation solution engineered to maximize efficiency in machining operations outside of the continental United States, as it is certified to International Export (CE) standards. This sophisticated system is crucial for enabling unmanned operation and minimizing machine downtime, significantly boosting overall productivity by allowing operators to set up three new jobs while one is actively being machined.

The unit includes a total of four 50 inch by 19 inch by 1-5 inch (1-270 mm x 482-6 mm x 38-1 mm) End Load Cast Iron Pallets. These heavy-duty pallets are managed by a Series 36A Pneumatic Receiver capable of handling a 2-000 lb (908 kg) capacity (weight evenly distributed). The automated operation is handled by the Series S50R End Load Shuttle unit, which features an Automatic Door system and enhanced safety features, including shuttle guarding via a light emitter, mirrors, and sensors. The entire system seamlessly integrates with the host VMC via standard M-codes, ensuring that pallet changes are fast, accurate, and fully automatic, transforming the VMC into a high-production cell.
