It all comes down to... "Is your spindle running?"

How many pallets do you need to maximize your VMC productivity? Is it two, four, maybe six? If that's not enough, why not consider eight pallets with a "dual" 4-pallet changer.

MIDACO's Automatic Pallet Changers are here to revolutionize the way you approach machining productivity. Whether you're working with a new VMC or your trusty existing one, these pallet changers can be your ticket to unparalleled efficiency.

The Power of Automation

Imagine being able to change parts on the pallets outside of the VMC while the spindle is still cutting, then walking away while the pallets swap out automatically once the cycle is complete. That's the kind of productivity boost MIDACO's pallet changers bring to the table. They increase efficiency by eliminating spindle idle time, ensuring that your machine is in constant motion.

Two Sides for Double the Productivity

MIDACO pallet changers offer flexibility. You can opt for a single shuttle with 2 or 4 pallets mounted on either side of your VMC. Or if you're aiming for even greater productivity, why not go for two shuttles – one on each side.

• 2-pallet systems* from 22"x15" (559 x 381mm) to 150"x32" (3810x787mm) and up to 8,000 lb (3,632kg) capacity per pallet.
• 4-pallet systems* from 26”x15” (711x381mm) to 50"x24" (1270x610mm) and up to 2,000 lb (908kg) capacity per pallet.

Pallets transfer with +/-0.0001" (0.0025mm) repeatability

Seamless Integration

One of the most significant advantages of MIDACO's pallet changers is their ease of use. There's zero learning curve, and you can take the complexity out of automation because the pallet changer is integrated with your VMC via M-Codes. Just load and reload multiple jobs on different fixtures on separate pallets while the machine is cutting away and the pallets transfer automatically in-between cycles with +/-0.0001" (0.0025mm) repeatability

VMC Table Space Efficiency

Maximizing table space and efficiency inside your mill is essential, and MIDACO pallet changers make it possible to use the entirety of your VMC table's real-estate by mounting your fixtures on dedicated pallets. Transfer an entire table of parts in seconds on one pallet and reload alternate pallets while the spindle is cutting. It's a seamless process that keeps your VMC running and profitable.

Go Large!

Automatic Pallet Changers for large Bridge Mills and Vertical Machining Centers which do not move in Y-Axis

No Y-Axis? No Problem

Even if your smaller or larger mill doesn't move in the Y-axis, MIDACO's Y-Shift Automatic Pallet Changers are here to streamline your workflow with pallets that move on the Y-axis directly on the shuttle before entering the mill. With pallet sizes from 30"x16" (762x406mm) to 150"x50" (3810x1270mm) and a weight capacity up to 8,000 lbs (3,632 kg) per pallet, this system also provides you with a second full table of parts ready to transfer into your machine automatically in between cycles. No matter the size or configuration of your machining center, our pallet changers are designed to elevate productivity and maximize the potential of your operations.
