Whether for preparing lamination processes, two-sided processing, or stacking layers with alternating orientations, manual flipping is error-prone, physically demanding, and can damage sensitive materials. Rotte’s Flipping Stations solve this problem with controlled, guided turning movements.
In the production of technical laminates, panels, prepregs, or multilayer composite structures, it is often necessary to flip sheets or layers between process steps—precisely and without damage. This is where Rotte’s Flipping Stations come into play: Our solutions enable automated or semi-automated flipping of large-format, delicate, or heavy sheet materials—process-safe, repeatable, and tailored to your requirements. For greater efficiency, ergonomic operation, and seamless downstream processing in your production.

Rotte develops Flipping Stations precisely according to your requirements: from manually operated stations with pneumatic assistance to fully automated flip units with robotic integration. Whether single sheets or complete layer stacks, whether inline or as a stand-alone solution—our stations integrate seamlessly into existing material flows. We design gripper technology, bearing systems, safety concepts, and user interfaces based on your process chain.
The turning mechanism of our Flipping Stations is based on robust drive and guide systems that ensure smooth movement even at high cycle rates and heavy loads. Intelligent sensors and optional image processing ensure that every layer is positioned accurately and correctly oriented after flipping. This prevents twisting, misalignment, and damage—enabling seamless downstream processing in the next step.
As a partner for practical automation solutions, Rotte supports you from the first consultation through to turnkey delivery. Our Flipping Stations are developed, engineered, and tested in close coordination with your production to ensure they fit seamlessly into your workflows. We also provide service, upgrades, and process optimization—long after your custom system has been commissioned.
