Thin panel processing package
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

Module for depalletizing and loading
Product advantages:
- Pallets are fed either via a roller conveyor or by a forklift truck
- Pre-alignment of full pallets on a scissor lift platform
- Scissor lift platform moves workpiece stacks upwards
- Servo-controlled hold-down system for fixing the stacks with several workpieces per stacking layer
- Removal of workpiece stacks with n workpieces (depending on the workpiece thickness) by special gripper system with the robot
- Empty pallet is automatically discharged

Module for unloading and palletizing
Product advantages:
- Empty pallets can be fed to the system manually via a belt conveyor
- Pallet is aligned in the X and Y directions on the scissor lift platform
- Palletizing gripper removes the finished workpiece package directly from the collet chucks
- The packages are pushed gently and precisely onto the pallet via the palletizing gripper. Different layer patterns possible
- Finished stacked pallet moves to an unloading station or is conveyed further via rollers
