Unlocking CNC Productivity with MIDACO Pallet Changers
In today’s competitive CNC machining industry, pallet changers are no longer optional—they’re essential. Skilled machinists and shop owners are asking: How can I reduce CNC setup errors? How do I improve part quality and repeatability? What’s the fastest way to increase throughput without adding machines or labor? How do I stay competitive while lowering per-part costs?
This 4-part blog series explores how MIDACO Pallet Changers deliver solutions in every critical area of modern machining:
- Quality: Eliminate setup errors and achieve repeatable precision.
- Delivery: Reduce changeover time and meet tight production schedules.
- Flexibility: Adapt quickly to engineering changes and small-lot high-mix low-volume runs.
- Cost: Lower per-part machining costs while maximizing spindle utilization.
Part 1: How Pallet Changers Improve CNC Quality
In CNC machining, most errors don’t happen during cutting—they happen during setups. Every time you start fresh, you risk overlooked details, misalignment, or rushed work.
A pallet changer eliminates repeat setups by keeping fixtures and parts prequalified and ready. Operators can load parts calmly, check measurements without time pressure, and ensure consistency run after run.
The result? Higher, more dependable quality that customers can trust. For manufacturers, that means fewer scrap parts, less rework, and stronger customer relationships.

Part 2: Faster CNC Delivery Times with Pallet Changers
Meeting tight delivery deadlines is a constant challenge in machining. Manual loading directly on the machine table slows things down—each changeover on the machine tool table adds minutes of idle spindle time.
Pallet changers solve this by reducing part-to-part changeovers to under 30 seconds, depending on the weight of parts on the pallet. They also make lights-out and overnight machining possible, multiplying productivity without adding labor.
For customers, this means faster, on-time deliveries. For shops, it means maximizing output and staying ahead of schedule.

Part 3: Pallet Changers Boost CNC Service and Flexibility
Customer requirements change. A feature moves, an urgent job comes in, or order quantities shift. Without pallet changers, shops often run long batches to offset setup time—leaving them with excess inventory when specs change.
With pallet systems, you only run what’s needed and can quickly pivot to the next job. That agility helps you serve customers better—without saddling them (or your shop) with costly, outdated inventory.
Pallet changers give you the flexibility to say “yes” when customers need changes, building trust and loyalty.

Part 4: Pallet Changers Reduce CNC Costs and Improve Price Competitiveness
Price is always a factor in machining—but the lowest invoice price doesn’t always mean the lowest cost. Hidden downtime, rework, and late deliveries all add to the “real” cost of a part.
Pallet changers reduce these costs by maximizing spindle utilization, minimizing downtime, and boosting throughput. The result is a more competitive price for your customers—and healthier margins for your shop.
