Vacuum loading system SortMaster Compact

automatedfor punchingwith scanning system

Overview
The SortMaster Compact unloads and sorts parts from punch and punch-laser machines. Designed for integration with TruPunch 1000 and TruMatic 1000 fiber, it requires minimal external space and provides an entry-level automation solution. Individually controllable suction cups pick up a wide range of part geometries and place finished parts onto pallets for immediate onward transport.

Compatible machines / System examples

• TruPunch 1000
• TruMatic 1000 fiber
• Can be combined with SheetMaster Compact for extended automation solutions

Key benefits

• Reliable unloading: individually controllable suction cups improve handling of small and complex parts.
• Minimal footprint: automation is integrated into the machine and the pallet cart is located inside the light barriers.
• Sorted onto pallet: parts are stacked on pallets and ready for downstream processes or transport.
• Automatic pick detection: a scanner verifies pick-up success and triggers automatic retries if required.
• Preserves part quality: suction-cup technology and coordinated handling reduce scratches and damage.

Equipment / Features

• Multiple suction-cup sizes: supports parts up to 600 x 400 mm using appropriate cups.
• Individually controllable suction cups: adapt to varied part geometries for higher pick rates.
• Optional X-axis extension: enables full-pallet filling without manual intervention.
