Large 5 axis machining center on shop floor with pallet changer mounted on its right sideManufacturers around the world understand that a key to remaining competitive in a global economy is to decrease downtime and increase productivity. MIDACO provides solutions that do just that. Particularly with Aerospace and Defense manufacturing becoming more competitive, making the machining process more efficient will reduce the cost per man hour per piece which helps manufacturers compete with lower cost labor countries. The Automatic Multi-Pallet Changer pallet pool will improve efficiency on new and existing 5-Axis and standard Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs). Our pallet changers exceed international standards with optional CE guarding and are UL listed so they can be used anywhere in the world.

The Automatic Multi-Pallet Changer is an ideal solution to increase productivity on 5-Axis and standard VMCs. Mounted on the side of the machine tool, the AMPC has 19 round aluminum pallets 10" in diameter, enabling the machine to run unattended. Because of its multiple pallets, this pallet pool is ideal for running parts in a "lights out situation". The operator can schedule 19 of the same parts or 19 separate jobs to run while they attend to other tasks or close up for the night.
