Automatic Sheet Handler and Storage Tower
Home / Custom Automation Videos / Automatic Sheet Handler and Storage Tower
Metal cutting machinery like lasers and turret punch presses can be operated “hands off” when integrated with a Progressive material storage tower and sheet handling system. This system straddles the load station and delivers sheets of raw material one at a time. A rear elevator retrieves and stores up to 8 pallets of material. The front elevator handles either the finished product pallet, or the scrap pallet. Integral suction cup system and unload “fork” system allow the metal cutting machines to run un-interrupted.
