Press Release number: 01359SHEAR
New Haeger Automatic and Manual XYZ sheet handling solutions for use with insertion presses are now available from Shear-Form Machine Tools Ltd.
Sheet handling is the most time consuming element of the hardware insertion process and these new 4 Haeger sheet handling systems have been designed to increase productivity and product quality by reducing the time of this element and improving the accuracy of the insertion process.

Both the Haeger WindowTouch®-3 insertion press with a force ranging from 4 - 72kN and designed to apply inserts into thin gauge materials and insertion applications where absolute repeatability (+/-0.5%) is critical. and Haeger 824 OneTouch®-3 insertion press featuring a four station automatic tool changing system with servo driven tool changer providing a 3 second automatic tool change, can be used with any of these 4 sheet handling systems.
The manual handling unit enables one operator to easily load large sheets, which would normally need multiple operators or a support table to handle.
An automatic sheet handling system loads and unloads flat sheets up to 600mm x 1,000mm with a 4th axis to turn parts and insert on two different sides of the sheet. Another automatic system loads and unloads 300mm x 400mm. flat sheets without a 4th axis.
Using a 6-axis arm Motoman robot cell with Haeger’s latest offline programming software allows sheets up to 1,200mm x 1,500mm. to be loaded and unloaded. This cell can also be fitted with a pallet feeding system on the finished products side.
