Tools for automation
Development and manufacture of tray tools
Through the years of experience and witnessing the progressive automation with tray tools we recommend ourselves as an ideal partner for the design and tool manufacturing of your trays.
Schubert GmbH determines your tray tools according to all parameters relevant for you and accompanies you from the first layout and the sample production up to the final serial tool.
The most important parameters of a successful tray tool include:
- Maximum number of copies
- Maximum possible stack height in the small charge carrier, in cardboard or on Europaletts
- Possible automating of the tray in modern handling systems
- Good thermoformability of the tool through profound interpretation ‐ if necessary, supported by plug assists
- High precision of the prefabricated parts and resulting transport safety

From designing a tray tool to maintenance -
everything from one source
1. Tray design
After an initial meeting in which we will develop together a requirement profile for your packaging, Schubert GmbH will provide you with a first layout as the basis for your handling machine manufacturers, production or logistics.
2. Prototype / Pattern making
Once the layout has been released, Schubert GmbH will create a sample form of aluminum and thermoform the first deep drawing patterns. These serve as the basis for the communication with respect to the component position and the feasibility or removability of the component. It is also possible to use a pattern to evaluate the stacking play in the Z axis. In short, a sample form serves as a discussion basis for your interfaces.

These include undercutting tools, flap tools as well as slider tools.
Experienced with regard to possible deep drawing problems, we enable your tool to have a maximum of good thermoformability. Possibly thanks to the support of a plug assist, which allows you to form narrow joints and complex geometries with good film properties.
