Turning heavy sheet metal parts is one of the most labor-intensive steps in many metalworking companies. Cranes or forklifts are often used for this purpose, which is time-consuming and entails additional safety requirements.
EasyFlipper is a device that automates this process and speeds up the turning of cut and sheet metal parts. In one user company, components weighing up to 750 kg are turned within a few seconds. The use of cranes and forklifts for this task is largely eliminated, freeing up their capacity for other work steps.
According to the company, there have been no more interruptions due to the turning process since its introduction. In addition, the device is also used in the company as a work surface for grinding work.
In addition to the standard version, the manufacturer also offers variants for higher loads. To complement the turning technology, other automation solutions such as robots for grinding and deburring are also available.

Automating the turning process increases process reliability and stabilizes the material flow. In companies with high volumes or large components, this type of technology helps to reduce manual tasks and structure internal processes.
