In today’s high-speed CNC machining environment, manufacturers depend on takt time to stay on pace with customer demand. But achieving lean efficiency is about more than just meeting production cycles—it’s about reducing downtime, cutting costs, and keeping your CNC spindles running.
At MIDACO Corporation, we help machine shops and manufacturers optimize takt time with our Automatic Pallet Changers and productivity solutions engineered to eliminate wasted motion and idle time. Our pallet changer systems are designed to improve workflow, support lean manufacturing, and maximize throughput in any machining facility.
Improve Lean Manufacturing Takt Time with Midaco
In CNC machining, valuable hours are lost when operators remove and reload parts between cutting cycles. MIDACO Pallet Changer Systems eliminate this bottleneck by allowing parts to be loaded and unloaded outside the CNC machine center while the spindle continues cutting. As soon as machining is complete, a new pallet is ready—minimizing downtime and accelerating production. With MIDACO Pallet Changers, your shop maintains a consistent takt time and keeps machines cutting instead of sitting idle.
Pallet Changers: An Essential Tool for Lean Manufacturing
Modern manufacturers can’t afford wasted production cycles or unnecessary storage of excess parts. MIDACO Pallet Changers help you maintain a steady, efficient production rhythm, reduce lead times, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Our systems are flexible and built for a wide range of machining centers and industries—from small component production to large aerospace parts.
Key Features of MIDACO Pallet Changer Systems:
- Automatic and Manual Pallet Changers available for any production scale.
- Compatible with small, medium, and large Vertical Machining Centers and Large Bridge Mills.
- Single or dual pallet configurations to optimize takt time and efficiency.
- Optional Light Curtain Safety Package for workplace protection.
- Optional Pallet Changer Trunnion Systems and Hydraulic Docking Systems for machining operations versatility.
Our Pallet Changer Machinery Impacts More than Takt Time Goals
Upgrading to a MIDACO Pallet Changer System not only enhances takt time but also improves safety and operator efficiency. With unobstructed crane or gantry loading outside the machine tool, operators experience less strain, reduced risk of injury, and smoother workflow management.
By choosing MIDACO, you gain a practical, long-term productivity upgrade that pays for itself in reduced downtime and increased capacity.
