We set out to build a simple, reliable, fast, flexible and maintenance-friendly glass loading system that uses a minimum amount of floor space. The result? The Automatic Free Fall Glass Loader from Integrated Automation Systems.
Smart and fast
The Automatic Free Fall Glass Loader can be loaded from either side. It knows exactly where the glass is, picks it up quickly and pulls it directly to the tipping point without wasted time or motion. It releases without delay because it already knows the tipping point.
Load up to 16 types of glass
The system is stackable and both units can pick glass at the same time. With two tables, you can handle up to 16 types in the same operation, all within the fraction of the footprint of competing systems.
The Automatic Free Fall Glass Loader is available configured for 72- by 84-inch or 96- by 130-inch glass. A multi station turntable is an option.
