Flow Chart

Same Side Loader

All models can cater to dual-lane material handling.

The Same Side Loader is suitable for loading parts into a process machine and unloading parts from the same process machine. Products can be returned to the same or different empty magazines after processing.

Loader + Unloader

Loader is used for loading parts from magazines into process machine.

Unloader is used for unloading processed parts from process machine into empty magazine.

Products is transferred from loader for process then be unloaded into empty magazine.

Loader + ISC + Unloader

ISC (Inline Shuttle Conveyor) is used to transfer material from a single lane process machine to a dual lane process machine or vice-versa.

Products is transferred from loader for process then be unloaded into empty magazine.
