AUTOMATION
FULL MATERIAL-HANDLING CAPABILITIES
T-SERIES – configured for fast panel processing applications.
Onsrud offers flexibility in material handling to fit the flow of your production. With customized solutions, both linear and cell-based, you get as much or as little automation as you need, from simple loading/offloading with or without pre-labeling to fully automated material storage and retrieval systems with integrated routers and saws. Let our automation experts help keep your business agile and on the cutting edge in an ever-changing market.
Let our integrated automated material-handling infeed systems do the heavy lifting (literally!). You can stage and load materials onto the machine bed, even if you’re a solo operator.
STATIC PRE-STAGE TABLE WITH OR WITHOUT PUSHER
Automatically reloads the scissor lift with another bunk of material prior to the first bunk running out. Since your material load is always stocked, you never have to synchronize your forklift timing or stop production.
REAR LOADER
The rear loader uses vacuum to lift material from the back of the CNC machining table enabling an operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
REAR GANTRY INFEED (SUCTION)
Using suction technology, the vacuum lift is a portable system that enables a single operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
SCISSOR LIFT (HALF BUNK LOADER)
With a half bunk loader (a.k.a. “scissor lift”) system, your machine picks up one sheet from a stack, places it into position, and then adjusts its height to prepare for the next sheet.
SCISSOR LIFT (FULL BUNK LOADER)
With a full bunk loader (a.k.a. “scissor lift”) system, your machine picks up one sheet from a full stack, places it into position, and then adjusts its height to prepare for the next sheet.
SIDE LOADER
The side loader uses vacuum to lift material from the side of the CNC machining table enabling an operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
Our automated material-handling outfeed systems keep your machine actively cutting materials without interruption. Integrated with our industrial CNC machinery, your products come off the machine immediately ready to be delivered.
PUSHER SWEEPER
The pusher automatically clears the machining area by moving parts to an offload table while the sweeper sucks up any additional dust and debris.
STATIC OUTFEED
A static outfeed table provides a work area for sorting and stacking parts without interrupting the machining operations.
CONVEYOR OUTFEED
Safely and automatically moves parts (e.g., heavy and bulky ones) down your machine’s production line for easy off-loading.
If you are spending time manually sorting through parts, affixing labels, or writing on your products with markers, our automated labeling systems can save time, eliminate errors, and improve productivity.
PRE-LABELING SYSTEM
Pre- or post-affix removable labels to parts for tracking, identification, or to provide descriptive details. (Most common for cabinets and sheet goods).
PART MARKING - INK
Applies marks (e.g., alpha-numeric), without contact, for part tracking. Marks can be permanent or removed based on how porous the material is.
PART MARKING - PAINT
Applies one or multiple colored paint for layout lines and shapes/symbols needed downstream (e.g., hot/cold water lines, nail locations, wiring, etc.) (Commonly used in the prefab home industry).
STANDALONE LABEL PRINTER
This auxiliary equipment can create and affix labels to parts for tracking and identifying parts for use in downstream operations or at the job site.
Your manufacturing operation can operate more quickly and smoothly by incorporating automated devices into your production line.
BARCODE SCANNER
Scan a barcode (machine-readable data) from a document and the machine automatically retrieves the specified program, tooling list, and set-up directions for that job.
Our goal is to provide you with the very best solution for your production that is Industry 4.0-ready to maximize your productivity, efficiency, and profitability. So, if we don’t have it, our integration partners will. Here are a few systems to consider from IMA Shelling and Barbaric:
MATERIAL STORAGE & RETRIEVAL
Storage and retrieval systems are hands-free material-handling devices that can manage small stacks to hundreds of high-mix materials across a warehouse. These systems can also organize rainbow stacks to match the order of the programs you’re running.
NST OFFLOADER
The NST Offloader uses a vision system to automatically remove cut parts and transfer materials for processing downstream.
ROBOT
Programmed to perform repetitive tasks (e.g., picking parts, removing scrap, etc.), robots can support “lights-out” production.
ROBOTICS INTEGRATION
Devices are strategically incorporated into your production to automatically perform repetitive tasks, so you and your team can focus on projects that grow your business.
