The Off Loader is a vacuum-assisted table equipped with a breathable mat, mounted on a carriage that moves in and out relative to the Ranger CNC’s working table.
During operation, the Off Loader lifts and tilts until it becomes parallel with the Ranger table. It then advances to collect all processed panels. As it makes contact, a series of valves are activated, engaging the vacuum system to securely capture the panels. Simultaneously, the vacuum on the Ranger table is released.
Once the panels are secured, the Off Loader retracts and returns to a horizontal position. When fully flat, the operator can activate the mat via foot pedal, smoothly feeding the panels to the pick-up area.
With the processed panels cleared, the Ranger is ready to automatically load the next panel, previously staged by the patented Loader system.
