Package thin plate processing
Product advantages:
- Scalable, modular and fully automated high-performance system for processing thin panels (cabinet and drawer back panels)
- Machining multiple back panels (package) at the same time – Separation into packages – New, one-of-a-kind method of automated separation
- Possibility of variable pallet loading with workpieces – Separation of different workpieces in a package – Stacking of the differently machined workpiece packages on a pallet
- Fully automated loading and unloading system for all workpiece sizes – workpiece dimensions: min. 400 x 200 mm, max. 1,500 x 3,000 mm – Stack thickness: up to 40 mm
- Scalable output of the system by distributing the items being machined over several work stations
- Highly flexible, wireless, endless workpiece transport system with recirculation – Clamping process is done in the non-productive time – Workpieces follow each other at close distances – Minimum chip-to-chip time
- Innovative, flexible destacking system for the machined workpiece stacks – Differently machined workpiece stacks are sorted and precisely destacked by the rake system

Basic transport module
Product advantages:
- Dual-track, flexible workpiece transport system with an individual number of collets – Upper level: workpiece transport – Lower level: collet recirculation
- Servo-controlled, autonomous collets – Endless movement
- Vertical collet repositioning for collet return transport
- Integrated package alignment and infeed into the collets
- Full-surface workpiece support over the entire transport route

Module for depalletizing and loading
Product advantages:
- Pallet feed using either a roller conveyor or a forklift
- Prealignment of the full pallets on a scissor lift platform
- Scissor lift platform cycles workpiece stack upward
- Servo-controlled retaining system for securing the stacks in place for multiple workpieces per stack layer
- Removal of workpiece packages with workpieces (depending on the workpiece thickness) by a special gripper system with the robot
- Empty pallet is discharged automatically

Module for unloading and palletizing
Product advantages:
- Empty pallets can be fed into the system manually via a belt conveyor
- Pallet is aligned in the X and Y direction on the scissor lift platform
- The palletizing gripper takes the fully machined workpiece package directly out of the collets
- The palletizing gripper pushes the packages onto the pallet gently and accurately – Different layer patterns possible
- Finished stacked pallet moves to a removal point or is conveyed on rollers
