The Doucet RL-100 Robotic Loosener automates the loosening of 8″ clamps and advances your clamp-carrier so operators can lay up, flatten, and re-tighten the next panel set without delay. By handling overhead clamp release and carrier indexing, the RL-100 cuts manual gluing time by up to 30% and ensures consistent panel flatness. Its modular design retrofits existing SRX carriers or integrates into new systems, giving you precision control over panel assembly cycles.

Key Features & Benefits
Automated Clamp Release & Indexing
• Hydraulic loosening tool automatically releases 8″ clamps overhead, eliminating manual unbolting and reducing cycle time
• Motorized bi-directional carriage indexes the clamp carrier forward to the next station, synchronizing with operator workflow
• Bypass logic skips empty clamp positions, ensuring the system moves only where panels await processing

Seamless Panel Flattening & Tightening
• Pneumatic retractable rest supports panels during clamp release, maintaining flatness and preventing drop-off
• Dual-station option adds second flattening and tightening tools for high-volume production lines
• Manual override keys let operators trigger any sub-routine—clamp release, flattening, indexing—on demand
