OverviewThe K-Trans automatic loading device is engineered to automate tube feeding for K-series main units (K0, K1, K1 Plus, K2). It handles multiple tube profiles — round, square, rectangular and elliptical — to reduce manual handling and increase line throughput.
Key advantages- Wide material compatibility: supports cyclic automatic feeding across a broad range of diameters and profiles (see specifications).
- Increased load capacity: belt-type material storage raises on-board capacity, reducing refill frequency (storage capacity up to 1500 kg).
- Flexible layout: unit can be lifted and positioned on either side of the main machine and configured for mirrored K1 setups.
- Simplified operation: integrated BodorThinker control system coordinates loading with the main unit, eliminating the need for one operator to manage two machines.
- Improved clamping success: centering rollers align tubes to ensure precise loading and higher chuck clamping reliability.
- Lower energy consumption: material handling phases (preparation, loading, unloading) are cylinder-driven for faster cycles and reduced power draw.
