InLoader

CASE STUDY – InLoader

InLoader is a solution designed for semi-automatic handling of sheet metal. The system picks up the sheet from the access point (stack on a pallet, stack on a table or shelf in the LogiTower warehouse), separates the sheet from the entire stack (magnetic separation), and then the single sheet is placed on the cutting table (fibre laser) or other processing device (CNC machine). In the InLoader Plus version, the device additionally collects the processed elements (cut or sliced), transferring them with the help of dedicated single-sided forks to the picking station (e.g. onto a pallet/table or into a LogiTower storage cassette).

Key features and benefits

Precise separation: magnetic separation ensures that only one sheet is transported at a time, minimising the risk of damage and improving process safety. The process can be supported by mechanical separation, which further increases the efficiency of the processing.

High ergonomics and speed: semi-automatic operation eliminates the need for forklifts or cranes, speeds up material replacement on the processing table and reduces the workload on the operator.

Compatibility and integration: it works with processing equipment (laser cutters and CNC machines) from various manufacturers and can be integrated with the LogiTower automatic warehouse, which optimises material flow and logistics within plants.

InLoader is an efficient and ergonomic solution for companies operating in the metal/steel processing industry that want to automate the loading and unloading of sheet metal in production processes using processing equipment (laser cutters or CNC machines). The elimination of manual transport, a precise separation system and the possibility of integration with the LogiTower automatic warehouse make InLoader a recommended solution for companies seeking to increase the efficiency and safety of their operations.
