ProFeeder Compact XL – Large Tray Automation System for Scalable Production

ProFeeder Compact XL provides large parts trays for CNC machine tending automation. Each 780 × 620 mm tray supports up to 90 kg and gives space to arrange workpieces for robot loading and unloading. Select the tray layout around part geometry, fixtures and the required batch quantity.

Choose 5 or 10 trays to match workpiece height and storage needs. Five-tray models support parts up to 160 mm high; ten-tray models support parts up to 80 mm high. Both configurations are available with MechLock or AirLock drawer locking.

The feeder has a 920 × 1220 mm footprint and uses a separate robot pedestal. For applications needing smaller trays, compare ProFeeder Compact. Allow additional space for the pedestal, extended drawers, robot movement and operator access.

ProFeeder Compact XL – Features

Capacious Loading Capacity

Choose 5 or 10 trays, each with a 780 × 620 mm working area and a 90 kg load capacity. Maximum part height is 160 mm with 5 trays or 80 mm with 10 trays.

Compact Yet Generous

The feeder footprint is L 920 × W 1220 mm. Overall height is 1050 or 1165 mm depending on the variant; use the product table below to check the selected model.

Designed for Mass Production

A stocked tray system supplies parts between operator replenishment visits. Usable tray capacity, part layout and machining cycle time determine how often replenishment is needed.

Efficient Industrial Automation Solution

ProFeeder Compact XL organizes workpieces in trays for repeatable robot picking. This can reduce repetitive manual parts handling and help the CNC machine receive its next workpiece when needed. The complete system combines the feeder, robot, gripper, part fixtures and machine interface.

A cell serving more than one CNC machine requires a suitable robot reach, layout and loading sequence. Review the machining and handling times for each machine to assess feasibility. The feeder provides parts storage; the robot system and machine interfaces perform the loading and unloading.

Optional wheels support controlled relocation. Position, level and anchor the feeder before operation, and check the complete cell after any move. MechLock uses a mechanical release; AirLock requires compressed air and digital I/O integration. Safeguarding must suit the complete application.

ProFeeder Compact XL with Robot Pedestal

ProFeeder Compact XL uses a separate robot pedestal, such as EasyPedestal, for robot mounting and controller storage. Select the pedestal and robot-specific adapter for the chosen robot model, mounting loads and working reach.

  • Robot Integration: Confirm the exact robot model, adapter plate, payload, reach, gripper and machine interface for your application.
  • Two Locking Options: Choose MechLock mechanical release or AirLock pneumatic locking with digital I/O to suit the cell controls and operating procedure.
  • Production Planning: Assess usable tray capacity, machining time and robot handling time to estimate replenishment intervals and potential changes in output.

Request a quote covering the feeder configuration, pedestal, adapter, fixtures and integration work. Include your part dimensions, batch size and cycle time so the proposed system matches your production requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’s)

Choosing the right automation partner isn’t just about machines — it’s about reliability, results, and long-term support. At EasyRobotics, we deliver all three.

ProFeeder Compact XL is a parts feeder for CNC machine tending and robotic handling. It provides 780 × 620 mm trays with a 90 kg load capacity per tray and uses a separate pedestal for the robot and controller.

The trays keep workpieces in defined positions for a robot to load and unload the CNC machine. Configure the gripper, part fixtures, robot program and machine interface for the selected workpieces and machining process.

ProFeeder Compact XL can be used with collaborative robots on a separate validated pedestal. Confirm the exact robot model, adapter plate, payload, reach, gripper and machine interface before ordering.

It can supply parts for robotic handling in metalworking, automotive, electronics and other manufacturing applications. Suitability depends on workpiece dimensions, weight, fixtures, process requirements and the complete cell design.

Each tray has a 780 × 620 mm working area and a 90 kg load capacity. Five-tray models support parts up to 160 mm high; ten-tray models support parts up to 80 mm high. Allow for fixtures and the robot picking arrangement.

Yes. Use EasyPedestal or another validated robot pedestal, with the correct robot-specific adapter. ProFeeder Compact XL has no integrated robot mount or controller compartment; include these requirements in the project scope.

Keeping parts available can reduce waiting for an operator to supply the next workpiece. The effect on throughput depends on machining time, robot handling time, tray layout, replenishment and the machine interface.

MechLock provides mechanical drawer release; AirLock provides pneumatic locking with digital I/O. Floor anchoring is required. The complete robot cell needs application-specific safeguarding and operating procedures.

A multiple-machine cell may be possible after reviewing robot reach, machine spacing, access, cycle times and controls. The feeder supplies parts storage; a suitable robot system and machine interfaces are needed to serve the machines.

Assess the investment using batch sizes, machining and handling times, staffing needs, utilization and total integration cost. The feeder can reduce repetitive manual parts handling; the payback period depends on the application.
