A sheet arrives on a roller conveyor, the turning frame clamps it between two roller beds, turns it over and sends it on with the other face up. The footage was shared with us; our equivalent solution turns glass, metal sheet, board and panels the same way, with the frame sized to your largest sheet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pikN4vdLTJA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

real output depends on sheet size and line speed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it turn 90 degrees?\nA: Yes. We set it for 90 degrees when sheets must stand up.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can you build this configuration?\nA: Yes. We build equivalent turning machines sized to your sheets and conveyor line.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Which standards apply?\nA: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We match a sheet turning machine in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with sheet sizes, weights, surface needs and sheets per hour, to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong> with the machine data and layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> so we confirm the conveyor heights.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/steel-sheet-upender-for-180-degree-safety-turning\/\">Steel Sheet Upender for 180 Degree Safety Turning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/big-frame-flipper-for-180-degree-turning\/\">Big Frame Flipper for 180 Degree Turning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/mechanical-90-degree-tilter-for-palletized-sheet-stack-handling\/\">90-Degree Tilter for Palletised Panel Stacks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Mechanical\/Upender-with-conveyor.html\">Upender with conveyor<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine content: FHOPE engineering team, 2026-10-10<\/li>\n<li>Clip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pikN4vdLTJA\">the video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sheets per hour: our worked example, illustrative values<\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: ISO 12100:2010; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proposal timing: approved house CTA (proposal within 48 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-10<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary This clip shows a 180 degree turning machine in a glass line.
