Custom Vertical and Horizontal Panel Handler

Specifications

Basket is manually loaded onto load/unload system conveyor.
Basket moves from home position to load position #1.
Flat panel alignment cap removed to allow basket to accept panel.
Load/unload system: customer-supplied indexing conveyor receives a flat panel within +/-3.0mm from horizontal position using lead-in feature.
Flat panel travels (index’s) on customer-supplied conveyor to staging area.
Vacuum paddle with lead-in feature receives flat panel from staging area. (Vacuum paddle fastens to customer-supplied conveyor).
Vacuum paddle holds flat panel in 10mm exclusion zone and then rotates flat panel to vertical position. Vacuum paddle releases flat panel onto lift vane below basket; lift vane lowers flat panel into basket.
When basket is full, it travels back to home position on conveyor; flat panel alignment caps are reinstalled and full basket is ready for processing. (The movement and rotation of panel into basket and the movement of full basket are to be a smooth motion as not to allow panel to warp more than 6.0mm)
At the equipment output the panel must be positioned so that panel centerline is within +/-1.0mm from nominal.
Reverse steps above for flat panel unload.
