The new systron portal loading system offers a simple, robust, and economical solution for automating glass loading. It has been specifically designed for unloading glass from L-racks and loading a systron processing line – all with a manageable investment.

Compared to complex robotic systems, portal loading convinces with straightforward functionality, reliable technology, and easy operation. The system is also highly flexible: it can safely handle both standard rectangular formats and custom special shapes.

The solution becomes even more efficient in combination with the systron storage system:

• Infeed side: the portal handles the automated loading of glass from L-racks into the processing line.

• Outfeed side: the move-out into the storage system ensures that processed glass sheets are buffered, sorted, and prepared for the next production steps.

This creates a continuous material flow, seamlessly integrating loading, processing, buffering, and transfer.

• 3-axis portal with a height of 3300 mm
• For glass sizes from 600 × 200 mm up to 3500 × 2500 mm
• Maximum glass thickness: 17 mm
• Maximum glass weight: 380 kg
• Transport heights: 250–780 mm
• Loading height: 520 or 780 mm (depending on downstream machine)
• Glass inclination: 6°

The cycle time for handling glass at maximum size is less than one minute – measured from one sheet pick-up to the next.

The portal loading system is optionally available with an automatic rack feed (cross conveyor). This enables fully automated L-rack insertion and removal, significantly reducing operator effort.

• Practical and economical alternative to robotic loading
• Independence from operator speed
• Consistent and predictable output
• Optimized use of skilled personnel for value-adding tasks
• Efficiency increases of 25–40%
• Flexible handling of rectangles and special shapes
• Seamless integration with storage solutions for optimal material flow

The system is equipped with integrated safety features to ensure safe and reliable operation – especially during automated glass loading and unloading.

The systron portal loading system combines high functionality with manageable costs, making automation attractive for glass processors of all sizes.
Together with the systron storage system, it enables a continuous, efficient material flow – covering the entire process from glass infeed to transfer into the next production step.
Robust, functional, and designed for practical use.
