ROBOLOAD PRO
1 August 2011
ROBOLOAD PRO is a new fully automatic glass feeder developed for loading glass sheets into any downstream process, completely labour-free.
.
It operates from multiple loading stations, switching from one to the other as required.
.
Safety cells allow empty racks to be replaced while ROBOLOAD PRO continues feeding from another one, eliminating down time.The heart of the system is a FANUC 6-axis high performance free programmable robot arm, carrying a special vacuum frame designed by Ashton Industrial.
.
The frame will accept glass of any size, without any manual intervention. Integral safety valves ensure glass is held firmly for hours on end, even if there is a loss of power.
.
To accommodate handling of soft glass coatings, it is designed to lift sheets from the non-coated side and lower these on to the conveyor: special arms on the frame are designed to pass between the conveyor rollers, then retract through the side without pausing for the loaded glass to leave the conveyor.
