Edge Automation

Door and Panel Handling System

HanDoor™, a special-purpose automation system, for the singulation of stacks of doors, boards, slabs, sheets, prehung doors, jambs and glass panels to continuously feed the next process in medium to large production facilities.

HanDoor™ Delivers Immediate ROI

  • Boost Throughput

    Improve production by up to 30% with continuous robotic loading and unloading of each panel, sheet, laminate, or door.

  • Protect People

    Eliminate manual door lifts in compliance with NIOSH safety standards to ensure safe and accident-free operations.

  • Reduce Risk

    Seamless fit with existing machinery and controls translates into minimal training and no workflow disruption.

  • Scale with Confidence

    Modular design, multiple End-of-Arm Robotic Tool options, and payloads up to 750 pounds can handle any door or panel challenge.

Flexible To Pick Up & Move Any Material

Robotic Cell — End-of-Arm Tool (EOAT)

This intelligent, vision-guided robotic cell accurately recognizes, picks, and places panels from a stack. It can handle payloads ranging from 80 kg to 700 kg and is built for end-of-line and distribution tasks, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency at every station.

Our HanDoor™ System Features

Six precision-engineered EOAT effectors, each specially designed for handling panels and doors.

Fixed Bar

Variable Bar

Servo Auto Size

Double-Sided Vacuum Cup

Parallel Grip

Multi Bar

Robot Transfer Unit (RTU)

  • This unit extends the robot’s reach along a linear track measuring 3 to 30 meters, with a repeatability of ±0.25 mm. It utilizes a modular steel rail and a lubricated rack-and-pinion drive.
  • The RTU allows repositioning of the robot along the line, while the EOAT effectively combines extended range with pinpoint accuracy.

Advanced Automation Solutions for Efficient Manufacturing

CNC Handing System

  • Loads the CNC while referencing against pins to establish a repeatable datum – precision cutting, routing & machining. 
  • Ensuring consistent positioning, delivering high precision and repeatability.

Door Buffer and Staging Systems

  • Stages doors between faster upstream and slower downstream processes with unbalanced cycle times. 
  • It automatically accumulates and releases doors as needed, decoupling the processes to prevent bottlenecks and idle time. 

Finishing Line Handling System

  • Automates door loading and unloading for sanding and coating with high precision and repeatability. 
  • Improves throughput and finish quality while reducing labour and material waste.
