Hydraulic Docking System for Automated Fixture and Vise Clamping on Automatic Pallet Changers


Midaco Hydraulic Docking System attached to yellow vices on an aluminum rectangle pallet on the surface of an Automatic Pallet Changer. Upper right shows a detail image of Automatic Pallet Changer with Cobot robot arm moving parts on the pallet.

With the Hydraulic Docking System on a MIDACO Automatic Pallet Changer, fixtures and vises are automatically clamped and unclamped on the pallet and sent into the machining center WITHOUT HOSES.

An ideal workholding solution for unattended robot/cobot applications.

Enhance your productivity even further with MIDACO's Robot Arm Mount available for A16SDA30SDA40SDAS50SD & A80SD Automatic Pallet Changers.

When new parts are put onto the pallet, the Hydraulic Docking System locks fixtures or vises into place and the pallet enters the machining center without the need for hose management.

Clamping fixtures or vises will STAY CHARGED on the pallet WITHOUT HOSES while in the machining center.
