LOADER is an automatic loader and positioner for composite and aluminium panels. It features lifting arms with suction cups, connected to the Ranger CNC’s vacuum system.
Designed for greater automation and higher productivity, the LOADER:
With its patented system, LOADER ensures smooth, precise, and efficient panel loading every time.
Greater Automation
One operator is all it takes. LOADER is fully controlled from the Ranger CNC panel and can lift and load panels up to 10 meters long directly from pallets.
Greater Precision
Once LOADER lifts the panel, the Feeder system takes over, positioning it on the CNC machine with accuracy up to 0.1 mm using a sensor-guided alignment system.
Greater Productivity
LOADER and Feeder work together to load and position panels automatically, eliminating manual handling and speeding up the process.
Stronger Grip
The motorized arms with suction cups securely handle a variety of panel types, especially composite panels used in façades. The suction cups have extended reach to lift from pallet height to the CNC bed safely.
Increased Safety
Pneumatically controlled stops support the panel during detachment, preventing any risk of dropping. The panel is then guided smoothly onto the CNC table using scratch-resistant support strips and easy-glide bearings.
Better Ergonomics
LOADER and Feeder reduce physical strain on the operator, eliminate risks of panel mishandling, and keep the CNC area fully accessible.
Higher Efficiency
Control everything—arm selection, loading cycles, and suction management—directly from the CNC’s PLC. Panels can be swapped mid-cycle without interrupting machining, and smart valves handle vacuum engagement automatically.
