MDH50 Pallet Changer Specifications: Resolving Conflicting Load and Time Data

The specification table states two 500 × 500 mm tables, 800 kg load and 6 s exchange.

Technical application analysis. Pallet-mounted jobs; no actual part established; MDH50 horizontal machining center; two-table automatic pallet changer.

Reference configuration and timing

The specification table states two 500 × 500 mm tables, 800 kg load and 6 s exchange.
Narrative text on the same source states 400 kg and 12.5 s rotation. A configuration link between those statements is not established.

Engineering evaluation

A purchase specification needs a revision-controlled table stating load distribution, eccentric-load limits and the exact exchange boundary. The label APC cannot resolve a difference between rotation-only and complete exchange timing.

For an installed machine, use the serial configuration and a witnessed test under the agreed load. Record unlocking, rotation, location and reclamping separately if the literature does not define them.

Selection conditions and evidence limits

This is a specification-review guide. It deliberately makes no unconditional 800 kg or 6 s performance promise, and it is not evidence of a delivered cell.

Application questions

Which MDH50 figure should be used in an RFQ?

List the conflict and request written confirmation for the exact machine revision instead of selecting the more attractive value.

What load should be used in an exchange test?

The agreed fixture-plus-workpiece load and distribution specified for that configuration, with the timing boundary documented.
