April 4, 2007 - Automatic Flexible Pallet System increases productivity at most 5-axis vertical and or 400 mm horizontal machining centers. Adaptable to new or existing machines, these systems allow unattended, automatic exchange of pallets in only seconds. Its modular design can retrofit virtually all machines, including those with a built in trunion type table and can maximizing both productivity and operator safety. Standard system includes four pallet stations, one rotating pallet set-up station, a linear guided automated pallet delivery system, touch screen system controller and four (4) each 20” (500 mm) diameter cast iron or aluminum pallets.
MIDACO's pallet receiver uses a mechanical clamping system that does not require air, power or hydraulics lines, making it adaptable to a variety of applications. Designed to be field retrofitable, these flexible systems adapt to most 5-axis machines. The modular design allows the systems flexibility to be increased in 2-pallet increments.
Additional machines can be integrated into the system at any time.An accuracy of ± 0.0001” (± 0.0025mm) and a pallet clamping force of 21,060 lbs (9477 kg) assures reliable performance.These systems and MIDACO’s full line of pallet changers up to 120” x 40” (3048 mm X 1016 mm), and machine tool accessories are USA made and thoroughly tested to provide years of reliable service.
