Quick-Change Parts Trays for CNC Machine Tending

ProFeeder Tray, formerly known as Light, is a robot cell for CNC machine tending automation and repeated parts handling. The removable tray organises blanks and finished components for robot picking and placing.

The 900 × 800 mm work area supports teardrop, square or custom tray patterns. Published examples are 72 positions for 72 mm teardrop geometry or 90 positions for 80 × 80 mm square parts. Actual capacity depends on the pattern, pitch, part size and gripper clearance.

The powder-coated steel cell measures L 1165 × W 800 × H 900 mm and weighs 202 kg. It requires floor anchoring before robot operation and includes a 650 × 420 × 550 mm controller compartment. Select the adapter plate for the exact robot model.

ProFeeder Tray Features – Industrial Robot Parts Feeder

HIGH MOBILITY

Optional heavy-duty wheels allow the cell to be repositioned between jobs. Level and secure the base at the new working position before robot operation.

VERSATILITY OF USE

Configure the cell for CNC tending, pick-and-place, assembly or inspection using the appropriate robot, gripper and workpiece fixtures.

QUICK SERIES CHANGES

Prepare the tray pattern for the next batch and change trays manually between series. Changeover time depends on the fixtures, part layout and robot program.

HIGH COMPATIBILITY

Robot-specific adapter plates support a range of cobot brands. Confirm the exact model, mounting loads, reach, payload and controller fit for your application.

ROBOT MOUNTING OPTIONS

The robot console can be positioned on three sides of the cell, with 0° or 45° mounting options. Select the mounting position to suit machine access and robot reach.

Applications and Tray Configuration

Use ProFeeder Tray to present components for robot loading, unloading, assembly or inspection. The tray layout should match the part geometry and orientation, with space for the gripper to approach and remove each workpiece.

Industries:

  • Metal and Machining
  • Automotive
  • Pharma
  • Electronics
  • Food Industry (*optional material — stainless steel)

Choose the right work surface: ProFeeder Tray provides structured component positions for batch handling. For fixtures and tooling mounted on an aluminium-profile tabletop, compare ProFeeder ALU. For more tray storage, compare the ProFeeder Compact models.

ProFeeder Tray Benefits – Efficient Robot Parts Feeding

  • Flexible Robot Mount: Choose the robot position and 0° or 45° mounting orientation, then select the adapter plate for the exact robot brand and model.
  • Integration-Ready Base: The cell includes a teach-pendant bracket and controller space. Complete the installation with the robot, gripper, machine interface and application program.
  • Configurable Parts Tray: PF-1000-T includes the DT-1000-03 teardrop insert. Square or custom patterns can be specified around the required part geometry and batch size.
  • Controller and Cable Storage: A 650 × 420 × 550 mm compartment and cable routing openings help organise the robot controller and connections.
  • Compact Footprint: The cell measures L 1165 × W 800 × H 900 mm and weighs 202 kg. Allow additional space for the robot working envelope, machine access and operator tasks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’s)

Check tray capacity, robot mounting, installation and configuration requirements before selecting your ProFeeder Tray setup.

Robot-specific adapter plates are available for a range of cobots. Share the exact brand and model so the mounting interface, payload, reach, base loads and controller fit can be checked. The adapter plate is a separate order item unless included in the quotation.

Yes. The 900 × 800 mm work area supports teardrop, square or custom patterns. Published examples are 72 positions for 72 mm teardrop geometry or 90 positions for 80 × 80 mm square parts. Final capacity depends on the approved tray layout, part dimensions and gripper clearance.

Yes. The tray presents parts for robot loading and unloading of CNC machines. The complete installation also needs a suitable robot, gripper, machine interface, fixtures and robot program.

The cell provides a robot mounting platform, a teach-pendant bracket and controller storage. Installation includes levelling, floor anchoring, selecting the robot adapter and configuring the machine interface and robot program.

Optional heavy-duty wheels allow relocation between production jobs. The cell must be levelled and secured at the working position before robot operation. Confirm the relocation and docking arrangement for your installation.

Applications include metal machining, automotive, electronics, assembly and inspection. A stainless-steel option can be discussed for suitable food or pharmaceutical environments; the full configuration must match the process requirements.

A prepared tray presents parts in defined positions and can be changed manually for another series. This can reduce repeated handling tasks. The benefit depends on machining time, part layout, replenishment and changeover frequency.

Choose the ProFeeder model to match the process. ProFeeder ALU provides an aluminium-profile work surface, while ProFeeder Compact and ProFeeder X offer multi-tray configurations. Ask EasyRobotics to compare the configurations for your batch size and available space.

A stable, anchored base and organised cable routing support integration. Safe operation depends on the complete cell, including the robot, gripper, workpieces, machine interface and the installation assessment and validation.

Payback depends on the complete installed cost, production volume, cycle times, staffing and changeovers. Share your machine, robot, part dimensions and batch size for a configuration and quote based on your application.
