Frame-Type Loading and Unloading Machine

Model: SL-FCZF

Large flat panels move from the stack to the production line through an overhead vacuum lifting system that picks, travels, and places each workpiece onto the integrated roller conveyor. The four-leg frame keeps the handling path organized above the conveying area, while different suction configurations accommodate varying panel surfaces and handling requirements.

Application Materials:

  • Fiber cement board, Magnesium oxide board, Calcium silicate board
  • Wood, Veneer, MDF, Particleboard, Plywood, PVC, PET
  • Metal, Ceramics, Special material, etc.

Application Scenarios:

  • Furniture, Doors and windows, Ceiling materials
  • Decorative materials, Interior wall, Exterior wall, etc.

Frame Type Loading and Unloading Machine for Large Panel Handling

The frame type loading and unloading machine automates panel pickup and placement with a four-leg overhead structure, vacuum suction assembly, and integrated roller conveyor. You can move large flat workpieces between a stack and the production line without repeated manual lifting. The lifting arm creates vacuum at the suction points, raises the panel, travels along the frame, and releases it at the required position for the next conveying step.

Match the Suction Setup to Your Panel Surface

Different panel surfaces require different contact arrangements. Before configuration, you can confirm:

  • Panel width, length, thickness, and weight
  • Surface smoothness, texture, and flatness
  • Required loading or unloading position
  • Maximum stacking height
  • Conveyor connection height
  • Available installation area
  • Air supply and electrical conditions

The standard SL-FCZF1300 processes panels from 600 to 1280 mm wide and 600 to 2600 mm long. Maximum stacking height is 1300 mm, while the bare conveyor height is 850 mm. Listed average working speed is 3–5 pieces per minute.

Vacuum Pickup Across a Wide Panel Area

The suction assembly spreads contact points across the workpiece instead of concentrating lifting force in one small area. Available configurations include silicone disc suction cups, sponge disc suction cups, and sponge strip suction units. You can select the contact arrangement around the panel surface and handling requirement.

Once the suction points contact the panel, the pneumatic system generates negative pressure and lifts the workpiece from the stack. The arm then travels along the guide structure to the placement position. Vacuum release completes the transfer before the roller conveyor moves the panel onward.

Connect Loading and Unloading With the Production Line

The integrated frame places the lifting structure, roller conveyor, and electrical control components within one handling station. You can connect it with an automatic conveyor system when the line also requires centering, turning, lifting, or downstream transfer.

For surface-finishing projects, the loading station can feed panels into suitable coating line configurations and can also receive finished workpieces at the discharge end when the process layout requires automatic unloading.

Configure the Handling Route Around Your Stack and Line

The standard machine uses 0.6 MPa air pressure, 5 kW full power, and a four-leg frame with an overall size of 3600 × 2850 × 4300 mm. Suction capacity depends on the selected pickup components, with separate specifications for silicone discs, sponge discs, and sponge strips.

The final handling configuration can follow the panel dimensions, stack position, transfer distance, suction contact requirement, and available floor space. This keeps pickup, travel, placement, and conveying coordinated within the actual production route.

Frame-Type Loading and Unloading Machine Advantages

Integrated Structural Design

This loading and unloading machine has an integrated structure. The centering conveyor and electrical control cabinet are inherent components of the entire machine. Adopting a compact overall structure and centralized wiring layout eliminates on-site assembly and connection work between the conveyor and the electrical control cabinet. It saves space and on-site installation time, facilitates wiring protection and daily maintenance.

Uniform Negative Pressure Distribution

The suction parts are evenly arranged to form a balanced suction force on the entire surface of the board. It can prevent indentation deformation caused by concentrated point pressure when handling thin or easily deformed panels. By uniformly distributing the vacuum pressure, the instability caused by edge warping and corner leakage is effectively mitigated, ensuring safe and smooth operation throughout the entire loading and unloading process.

Rubber-Covered Stainless Steel Roller

The stainless steel conveying rollers are fully wrapped with high-quality rubber. This soft rubber surface effectively prevents scratches to the workpiece during conveying. Meanwhile, the rubber layer offers good shock absorption and noise-reduction performance, reducing the operating noise of the entire machine and extending the service life of both the rollers and the conveyed products. The automatic centering mechanism automatically aligns the incoming workpiece.

Standard Characteristics

ABBA Linear Guide Rails

The frame-type loading and unloading machine is equipped with original ABBA linear guide rails as the core sliding guide components for the dual-axis moving structure. It can make the arm maintain smooth, jitter-free movement under long-hour, high-speed operation. Its high positional accuracy and excellent anti-deformation performance greatly extend the equipment's overall service life.

AIRTAC Solenoid Valves

The frame-type loading and unloading machine is equipped with high-quality signal-controlled switch AIRTAC solenoid valves to precisely control the opening and closing of vacuum and air pipelines. The stable air path control effectively eliminates lag during product picking and placement, reduces the risk of mechanical collisions, and improves the machine's overall operational stability.

CTM Vaccum Generator

This high-performance, durable CTM vacuum generator provides stable negative pressure throughout the entire suction system. It can quickly generate sufficient airflow under vacuum in a short response time, providing strong and uniform suction. It also prevents micro-vacuum adhesion at the contact surface between stacked panels and prevents the machine from picking up two boards at once.

Special Gas Storage Tank

The frame-type loading and unloading machine has an exclusive air storage tank to balance the system air pressure. It offsets pressure fluctuations during rapid on-off cycling of pneumatic components, ensures stable operating pressure for vacuum adsorption units, prevents insufficient suction force, reduces pneumatic impact, and improves the reliability and smoothness of the entire pneumatic circuit.
