Did you know that you can virtually eliminate spindle idle time? Tony Gunn of MTDCNC explains the creative automation solution from MIDACO that takes the complexity out of automated part loading and machining. The MIDACO robot ready automatic pallet changer allows you to load parts on the pallet outside of the machine tool while it’s cutting. As pallets automatically transfer in seconds when the job cycle is complete, operators can tend to other tasks and return to load a new batch of parts while the alternate pallet is in the machine. This flexible technology works by adding collaborative robots to increase unattended running. Mounting a robot to a new or existing MIDACO automatic pallet changer gives back valuable spindle cutting time! Compatible with many brands of cobots, including UNIVERSAL ROBOTS and FANUC, the system allows full access to the VMC front doors and machine tables in between jobs. Well suited for high-mix low-volume environments, the system includes MIDACO’s hoseless hydraulic docking system to enable unattended machining and an optional light curtain guarding system that offers safety for automated part loading. Say goodbye to the worries of labour shortage with MIDACO’s robot ready package!
