Shovel system
Shovel automation
The shovel automation takes the pre-cut blanks from the blank loader. After the cutting process, the finished blanks are removed from the press with the shovel automation and stacked on a mandrel. At the same time, a new sheet is inserted into the press and the scrap is disposed of.
Depending on the available space, the circular blanks can also be transferred from the shovel automation system to conveyor belts to enable uninterrupted stacking of the circular blanks.
Press concept
The bucket system automation can be combined with various press concepts.
Modular design
Bucket systems have a modular design and can be expanded according to requirements.
