Our loading and unloading systems at a glance

Tray Loader – Automated handling for trays

Our Tray Loader is the ideal solution for the automatic loading and unloading of substrates, components and modules within automated production lines or as a stand-alone unit. It impresses with maximum flexibility, high process stability, and easy integration with a wide range of machines.

Highlights & Functions

  • Fully automatic loading and unloading of trays with modules, printed circuit boards (PCBs), components, or substrates
  • Direct reading of tray IDs and workpiece DMCs
  • Real-time presence check of tray contents
  • Full transparency of all loaded and processed units
  • Integration via conveyor or robot systems into in downstream equipment
  • Integrated buffer system for empty trays – ideal for continuous production systems
  • Flexible adaptation to different system types and production technologies

Technical specifications

  • Automatic mapping of tray stack height and position
  • Automatic correction of positional offsets up to ±12 mm
  • Cleanroom-compatilible design: ISO Class 7
  • Max. tray size: 600 × 400 mm (L × W)
  • High-precision position detection to enable safe robotic handling

Performance data

  • Tray change: 15 sec.
  • Loading/unloading of workpiece: 5 sec

WPC Loader – Intelligent workpiece handling from transport trolleys

The WPC Loader enables fully automatic loading and unloading of workpiece carriers directly from customer-specific transport trolleys. The solution offers maximum flexibility, minimal setup times, and high system availability – ideal for timed production lines or flexible low volume high mix manufacturing equipment.

Highlights & Features

  • Up to two loading/unloading stations for uninterrupted operation
  • ID scanning during the loading and unloading process
  • Compatible with all common systems and process modules
  • differenttrolley configurations can be handled within one station
  • Excellent accessibility for service and maintenance
  • Ideal for low-manpower or fully automated production environments

Technical specifications

  • Low integration and operating costs
  • Recipe selection via data matrix code (DMC) recognition
  • Compact design with a small footprint
  • Automatic width adjustment to customer-specific carrier widths
  • Carrier sizes: 500 × 120 mm to 500 × 180 mm (L × W)

Performance data

  • 15–20 seconds per carrier

We also offer our trolleys individually if required.
