Sheet Metal Automation Devices
Automatic Loading
Bodor iLoader
Compatible with P/B/C Series, the iLoader allows for fully automatic sheet loading without manual intervention, reducing labour input and minimising operation risks.
This keeps the cutting machine fed continuously without operator intervention, freeing staff for other tasks and helping maintain a steady, predictable production pace throughout the shift.
Key Features:
- Loads metal sheets up to 20mm, eliminating traditional loading methods such as cranes and forklifts
- Minimal floor space required, maximising production space
- Table positioning feedback mechanism with automatic safety interlocking to the main unit
- Flexible left or right positioning to suit the on-site processing environment
Auxiliary Loading
Bodor iLoader-eco
With a compact design and easy operation, the iLoader-eco achieves semi-automatic loading, saving time and effort.
Its space-saving footprint and straightforward controls make it easy for operators to learn quickly, while a single unit can serve two cutting machines at once, making it a practical entry point for smaller workshops looking to boost throughput.
Key Features:
- Loads sheets up to 8mm, boosting sheet processing efficiency
- One device can load materials for two cutting machines simultaneously
- Minimal floor space required, maximising the use of production space
- Flexible left or right positioning to suit the on-site processing environment
Automatic Loading
Bodor iTower
Compatible with the P Series, the iTower features a compact structure with a small footprint, efficiently completing automatic loading and unloading, as well as automatic storage of raw materials and finished products.
By combining loading, unloading and storage within a single 3D unit, it minimises the floor space required on the shop floor while keeping raw material and finished parts organised and ready for the next job, making it a strong fit for workshops where space is at a premium.
Key Features:
- Compact 3D design for maximum workshop space utilisation
- Material detection with shortage and abnormal quantity alarms to reduce scrap rates
- Intelligent, air-blowing or magnetic sheet separation, selectable to suit your needs
- Single-click adjustment for different sheet sizes, shapes and thicknesses processed in a queue
Compatible with: Bodor P
Automatic Loading
Bodor iTrans
Compatible with P Series, the iTrans achieves fully automated loading and unloading of metal sheets with minimal manual intervention, offering high automation and boosting production efficiency.
By synchronising loading and unloading rather than running them sequentially, it keeps the cutting machine working continuously, while smart zoning and queued processing allow different sheet sizes and thicknesses to run back-to-back without operator input.
Key Features:
- Synchronised loading and unloading, breaking the traditional limitation of sequential-only operation
- Smart zoning with single-click adjustment for different sheet sizes
- Automatic queued processing for different shapes and thicknesses of sheet
- Material detection with shortage and abnormal quantity alarms to reduce scrap rates
Compatible with: Bodor P
Automatic Loading
Bodor iTrans Tower
Compatible with P Series, the iTrans Tower enables fully automatic sheet loading, unloading, and storage. Its flexible layout and wide compatibility allow one material storage tower to serve multiple cutting machines.
This reduces the need for multiple standalone storage units across the workshop, while smart zoning and single-click sheet-size adjustment keep production moving between jobs, and material detection with shortage alarms helps cut down on scrap
Key Features:
- Integrates material loading, unloading and storage in a single system
- One unit can serve the loading, unloading and storage needs of multiple cutting machines
- Smart zoning with single-click adjustment for different sheet sizes
- Material detection with shortage and abnormal quantity alarms to reduce scrap rates
