Panel Turnover Machine

Model: SL-FCT

The board-turning-over machine is equipped with a double-layer rubber roller conveyor. As boards pass through the detection unit, the rollers hold the material firmly and steadily. Driven by cylinders and motors, the mechanism smoothly flips the boards upside down. This conveyor is widely used on double-sided coating lines to increase automation and improve overall operational efficiency.

Application Materials:

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

Application Scenarios:

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

Panel Turnover Machine for Double-Sided Coating Lines

The Panel Turnover Machine rotates flat boards 180 degrees between connected processes, allowing the opposite surface to continue through coating or finishing without manual flipping. Double-layer rubber rollers hold the workpiece during rotation, while the motor-driven turnover structure and detection system coordinate clamping, rotation, and discharge. The machine can be integrated into an automatic conveyor route where two-sided processing is required.

Automatic Panel Flipping for Continuous Processing

Before selecting a configuration, confirm the main workpiece and line conditions:

  • Maximum panel width, length, and thickness
  • Material type and finished-surface condition
  • Required feeding direction
  • Conveyor connection height
  • Production pace of adjacent equipment
  • Available installation space
  • Air supply and electrical requirements

These factors determine whether the turnover section can connect smoothly with the machines before and after it. The standard SL-FCT1300 handles panels up to 1280 mm wide and 2800 mm long, with a minimum processing length of 500 mm and a minimum thickness of 5 mm. Custom dimensions are available when the standard format does not match the product or line layout.

180-Degree Turnover With Controlled Panel Support

During operation, the incoming panel enters between the upper and lower rubber roller layers. The rollers secure the workpiece while the turnover frame rotates it through 180 degrees. Photoelectric detection monitors panel position and the turnover sequence, helping each step follow the programmed cycle before the panel continues to the next process.

This arrangement keeps the workpiece supported during transfer and removes repeated lifting and repositioning associated with manual turnover. Average working speed for the standard configuration is listed at 3 pieces per minute, while actual line performance should follow panel dimensions and the surrounding process.

Integration With Automatic Conveyor Systems

The turnover section works as part of a connected material-handling route rather than as an isolated processing machine. It can connect with the wider automatic conveyor range for loading, transfer, centering, or downstream handling.

Where both panel faces require processing, the turnover stage can also be positioned between suitable coating line configurations according to the actual finishing sequence.

Matching the Turnover Section to the Production Route

The standard model uses right-to-left conveying, an 850 mm bare conveyor height, and adjustable leveling height from 880 to 930 mm. Full power is 2.95 kW, and specified air pressure is 0.4–0.6 MPa.

Final selection should follow the panel dimensions, line direction, connection height, and process sequence so the turnover action fits the surrounding equipment without unnecessary transfer steps.

Board Turning Over Advantages

Fully Automatic One-Pass Processing

When integrated into the coating lines, the board-turning-over machine enables complete double-sided coating of products in a single pass. Operators no longer need to manually flip or re-transport boards halfway through production. Only a small number of workers are needed for the entire line. This design drastically reduces labor costs and eliminates paint film scratches, dents, and abrasions that are frequently caused by rough manual flipping.

Stable 180° Synchronous Flipping

Compared to traditional methods, which require products to pass through the coating line twice to coat both sides, the board-turning-over machine effectively doubles the actual production capacity. The flipping mechanism operates smoothly at a constant speed, executing gentle, shock-free rotations and maintaining stable performance even during prolonged, uninterrupted operation.

Powerful Compatibility

The board-turning-over machine is equipped with an integrated PLC control system, facilitating seamless signal communication with coating lines. It is appropriate for a wide range of products requiring flipping. Whether processing wooden cabinets, door panels, or decorative sheets, this machine can be effortlessly incorporated into your current production process.

Standard Characteristics

Double-Layer Rubber Rollers

Double-layer rubber rollers clamp the board synchronously, firmly securing it throughout the flipping process and preventing it from sliding, falling, or being bumped or scratched on the paint surface. The rubber roller material is wear-resistant, solvent-resistant, and will not leave indentations on the coating.

Turn Over Motor and Reducer

The dedicated high-power turnover gear motor provides ample torque, ensuring smooth, uniform turnover of heavy, large boards without shaking or inertial slippage. The motor self-locks the ring upon reaching the desired position, preventing swirl deviation. The turnover speed is adjustable, and the operating noise is low.

Turn Over Three Stages Detector

Equipped with photosensitive sensors, the system performs triple-signal detection for board feeding, 180-degree turnover, and board conveying after flipping. It monitors the board entry and exit position signals, the ring's turnover angle, and the clamping status of the rubber rollers in real time, enabling fully automated, unmanned operation.

Delta PLC Control System

This machine is equipped with an independent electrical control cabinet, with a Delta PLC coordinating signal detection, action execution, and safety limit switches, ensuring safe and coordinated operation of the entire machine. It is paired with Delta frequency converters to flexibly match the coating line's production cycle.
