MIDACO's A30SD, A40SD and AS50SD series Automatic Pallet Changers can be modified to mount a robot/cobot arm directly on the pallet changer control panel for enhanced collaborative automation. See this new pallet changer modification at WesTec, November 16-18, 2021 in Long Beach CA, MIDACO booth #1622.
Step away and let your robot/cobot set-up parts on the pallet changer outside of your VMC while the spindle is cutting.
A robot/cobot mounted directly on the on the shuttle can easily access parts on a table or conveyor set up along-side of the MIDACO Automatic Pallet Changer and do the loading for you with precision and reliability. This modification allows the robot/cobot to set-up parts on the pallet changer outside of your VMC while the spindle is cutting, freeing the operator to perform other tasks.
NOTE: MIDACO requires robot/cobot arm specifications prior to customizing the Automatic Pallet Changer with shuttle mount. Robot/Cobot is to be purchased separately from authorized dealer.
To enhance productivity even further...
The Automatic Pallet Changer can be outfitted with a MIDACO Hydraulic Docking Sytem for automated fixture and vise clamping without the need for hose management. Fixtures stay charged while in the VMC. For more information:
