Overview

This unit automates loading and unloading at a machine that processes flat parts one at a time. It has two stacking stations on casters, each with a lifting platform and guide rods that keep the stack in line, and a pick-and-place axis on the top frame that moves the parts.

As parts are taken off or put on, the lifting platforms keep the top of each stack at the pick-up height. A control box with a touchscreen, start button and emergency stop runs the unit.

Units like this are built to order for our tape applicators and other machines. Station size, stack height, travel and the pick-up head are designed for your parts.

Key advantages

Two stacking stations

One station feeds parts and the other collects them, so the operator handles whole stacks instead of single parts.

Lifting platforms

Each station raises or lowers its stack so the pick-up height stays the same.

Guide rods

Rods around each stack keep the parts in position for the pick-up head.

Pick-and-place axis

An axis on the top frame moves parts between the stacks and the process position.

Stations on casters

Both stations stand on casters, so the unit can be moved and lined up with the machine it serves.

Built to your process

Station size, stack height, travel and pick-up head are designed for your parts and your machine.

FAQ

What does the dual-station loading and unloading unit do?

It takes parts from a stack, places them for the next process and stacks the finished parts on a second station, so the operator only handles full and empty stacks.

Why two stations?

One station holds the parts waiting to be processed and the other collects the finished ones. Each has a lifting platform that keeps the top of the stack at the pick-up height.

Which machines can it work with?

It is built to order, usually together with one of our tape applicators or another machine for flat parts. Tell us about your process and we will design the connection.

Can it handle different part sizes?

The stations and the pick-up head are designed for your parts. Tell us every size you run so we can plan the guide positions.

How fast is it?

Cycle time depends on the part and the machine it serves, so we give it after reviewing your process and samples.
