The sheet loading device automates the forming machine. Besides higher performance the benefit of an automatic loading device is better repeatability of the process, i.e. thanks to the automatic, uniform function sequencing better product quality is achieved also for smaller batch sizes. Cycle time is influenced by the operator in manual loading.

The loading device includes the transport device employed to transport the material to the forming machine. It is suitable for transport of sheet material with pronounced sagging after heating as well as discharge of positively and negatively formed parts, even with maximum depth of draw. The transport can be lifted in an ascending way.  Selection is made on the operating panel.

Upper and lower heater can be installed in the loading device. In this way the material can be pre-heated or heated up to forming temperature and a reduction of cycle time can be achieved. Subject to material behavior and machine equipment the heating time in the forming station which is decisive for the cycle time can be reduced down to 0 seconds. Equipment features of the sheet loading device are variable, subject to customer demand. Further  information you will find in sections "Brochure" and "Technical Data" under UA machines.
