  • Pan Exchange Systems

    Pan exchange systems make a real-time exhange of heavy pans, forms, or trays on a continuous production line.

    • Using 1 or 2 high-speed, high-payload robots, one set of pans can be removed from production and stacked, while a new set is deployed-all within one cell.
    • The exchange is made at production rates, minimizing changeover time and mazimixing production.
    • Built-in sensors and verification assure all pans are properly exchanged.
    • Eliminate unsafe manual handling of heavy and pans and trays.
    • Built-in stacking freatures eliminate bulky and costly pan carts.
