9-Second Pallet Changer

9-second pallet changer

More Cutting. Less Waiting.

Eagle’s integrated pallet changer swaps tables in as little as 9 seconds, keeping productivity high and non-cutting time to an absolute minimum.

The Fastest Pallet Exchange on the Market

When your laser cuts in seconds, material exchange can’t be the bottleneck. That’s why Eagle engineered the fastest pallet changer on the market: fully integrated, exceptionally stable, and designed to keep pace with high-performance fiber cutting.
Our pallet changer swaps tables in just 9 seconds on the 1530 format and 13 seconds on the 2040. This ultra-short exchange time translates directly into the shortest program-to-program cycle, higher throughput, and hours of additional cutting capacity every month. The machine doesn’t wait. It cuts.

9-Second Pallet Changer — Fastest, Fully Integrated, Zero Compromises

Engineered into the core

Most pallet changers are add-ons; ours is integrated directly into the machine body. By designing it as part of the core structure and eliminating hydraulics, we achieved a unique combination of speed, rigidity, and simplicity. The result is clear: more good parts per shift, fewer interruptions, and a machine that never needs to “catch up” after a swap.

Why it matters

Every second between programs is non-cutting time. In high-volume production, those seconds quickly add up to lost parts, missed deadlines, and reduced margins. By collapsing the material exchange window, Eagle ensures the laser spends its shift cutting, not waiting.

A bit of math to show the advantage of fast exchange

Reducing pallet-swap time from around 40 seconds (the market average) to Eagle’s 9-second pallet changer gives you back production hours you can directly turn into margin. The example below illustrates how much time you save with Eagle’s ultra-fast exchange compared to a standard 40-second system, assuming 20 pallet changes per 8-hour shift.

  • Per swap: 31 s saved
  • Per shift (20 swaps): 20 × 31 s = 10 min 20 s
  • Per week (5 shifts): 51 min 40 s
  • Per month (22 shifts): 3 h 47 min 20 s
  • Per year (250 shifts): 43 h 3 min 20 s (≈ one full work week of extra cutting time)

What those hours mean on the floor

  • More parts, same headcount: Turn reclaimed hours into throughput without adding people or floor space.
  • Faster commitments: Use the “found” time to pull urgent jobs forward and hit tighter delivery windows.
  • Smoother flow: Shorter swaps reduce micro-stops and WIP between nests.
  • Stable quality at speed: The Eagle changer is fully integrated, perfectly balanced, and runs without hydraulics, returning
    the table to the exact level—no recentring—so the head resumes cutting immediately and edges stay consistent.
  • Lower upkeep: Fewer components, simpler mechanism, less maintenance.
