> This upender turns a heavy load and its pallet through 90°, then a sliding table carries both out of the cradle onto a roller conveyor. Pallet positioning locates the pallet the same way every cycle, so the load always meets the backrest square. Our gear-driven upenders come in 3, 5, 10 and 20 t versions, with 50–100 s per turn.
The load here is a heavy brown ring on a pallet, standing on edge in the yellow C-frame cradle. The cradle turns it through 90° until the ring lies flat, and the sliding table then moves the pallet out of the frame onto the roller conveyor behind.

Why add positioning and a sliding table
A plain upender turns the load, and a forklift or crane then has to reach into the cradle to take it out. That is slow, and it puts people next to a heavy load. Two additions fix this:
- **Pallet positioning.** Guides locate the pallet on the table. The load sits in the same place every time, square to the backrest, so it turns without shifting.
- **Sliding table.** After the turn, the table slides out of the cradle and hands the pallet to a roller conveyor. Nobody reaches into the machine, and the upender can sit in a conveyor line.
機械構造
| 部品 | 機能 |
| :--- | :--- |
| C-frame cradle | turns on rollers under its curved rim, 90° between the two positions |
| Base table and backrest | carry the load in the upright and flat positions |
| Roller backrest | lets the pallet roll in and out when it stands on edge |
| Pallet positioning guides | locate the pallet square on the table |
| Sliding table | moves the pallet out onto the conveyor after the turn |
| Gear motor drive | turns the cradle; the drive is sized to the load |
| Limit devices | two displacement limiters and limit sensors |
The gear drive holds the cradle at any angle, even if the power is turned off; the holding method for your drive size is confirmed at quote.
作業サイクル
1. **Infeed.** The pallet and load enter the cradle and stop against the positioning guides.
2. **Turn.** The cradle turns 90°, moving the load weight from one face of the cradle to the other.
3. **Slide out.** The sliding table carries the pallet out of the cradle onto the roller conveyor.
4. **Return.** The table comes back, and the cradle returns to receive the next load.

| Time per turn | 50–90 s | 50–90 s | 60–90 s | 60–100 s |

実例：1シフトあたりの回転数
A forge turns 5 t rings from edge to flat for machining on an FPCT-05.
| 手順 | 計算 | 結果 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Turn time | upper end of 50–90 s | 90 s |
| Slide out and return (illustrative) | estimate | about 60 s |
| Cradle return to the upright position | same as the turn | 90 s |
| Cycle per ring | 90 + 60 + 90 | about 240 s |
| Rings per hour | 3,600 ÷ 240 | about 15 |
| Rings per 8 h shift at 75% use | 15 × 8 × 0.75 | about 90 |
**Result.** About 90 rings per shift with no crane in the turning step. If the next ring can be fed while the cradle returns, the cycle shortens toward 150 s and about 24 rings per hour.
用途
- Forged and machined rings, wheels and flanges.
- Steel, wire and copper coils on pallets.
- Molds and dies that must be turned for storage or service.
- Heavy boxes and crates that must lie on another face.
選択チェックリスト
1. Heaviest load including the pallet.
2. Load and pallet size.
3. Turn direction and angle.
4. Conveyor height and direction in and out.
5. Turns per hour.
安全性：EN 415-10およびISO 12100
Upenders are covered by EN 415-10, with the risk assessment to ISO 12100:2010. The turning cradle, the sliding table and the conveyor transfer are the main hazards. The operator works away from the turning position, two displacement limiters and limit sensors end the travel, and an emergency stop with a position lock stops rotation. Guarding and CE documents are agreed per project.
エンジニアリングに関するよくある質問
Q: What does the sliding table add?
A: It moves the turned load out of the cradle onto a conveyor, so no crane or forklift reaches into the machine.
Q: What happens if the power fails mid-turn?
A: The gear drive holds the cradle where it is.
質問：荷物の重量はどれくらいまで許容されますか？
A: 3 t to 20 t, depending on the model.
Q：1回の旋回にはどれくらい時間がかかりますか？
A: 50–100 s, depending on the model and load.
Q: Can it turn coils as well as rings?
A: Yes. The same machine family turns coils, rings, molds and crates.
