MIDACO ADM-2SD Automatic Pallet Changer on HAAS DM-2 VMC at Galyon Manufacturing

When Galyon Manufacturing needed to increase productivity for its operation in Sweetwater, Tennessee, it turned to new CNC equipment, quickly choosing a Haas DM2 for its speed and a MIDACO ADM-2SD to get productivity through automation. This combination of machining excellence added more productivity with fewer man hours, decreasing the strain on the operator in the process while seeing a 70% rise in productivity.

The MIDACO ADM-2SD includes a Series 16 End Load Shuttle unit with Automatic Door, Series 16A 500 lbs (227 kg) capacity Pneumatic Receiver and 28” X 15” X 1.25” (711 mm x 381 mm x 32 mm) End Load Cast Aluminum Pallets with precision ground steel rails. Its hardened and ground-locating pins and bushings assure +/- 0.0001” (0.0025 mm) repeatability. The automatic pallet changer allows for parts and fixtures to be changed outside of the machining center while the spindle is cutting. The pallets are then swapped into the machine tool automatically by MIDACO’s servo-driven shuttle in seconds onto a cast-iron receiver mounted directly to the machine tool table, eliminating idle time and improving part output.
