This specialized package is designed to seamlessly integrate automation into your machining process by preparing your MIDACO A16SD Series Pallet Changer for robotic part loading and unloading. The core of the package involves a customized modification of the control panel cabinet to provide a stable and ready mounting point for a robot or cobot arm. (Note: The robot or cobot arm is sold separately, and specifications must be provided to MIDACO prior to ordering).

To ensure operator safety and uninterrupted automatic pallet exchange, this solution includes the A16SDLC Light Curtain Package. This system provides 3-sided guarding around the shuttle system using a light emitter, mirrors, and sensors. If the invisible light beams are breached, the pallet change sequence is automatically halted, protecting personnel during robotic operations. For further efficiency, consider adding the optional Hydraulic Docking System to automate fixture clamping, enabling hours of unattended machining by allowing the robot to load and unload parts with automated fixture controls.
