Add loading assistance without the footprint of a full automation cell.
iLoader Eco is a compact auxiliary loading device intended to support manual operation with semi-automatic sheet handling. It is designed for manufacturers that want to reduce lifting effort and improve loading consistency while preserving a straightforward production workflow.
Load for two machines
A suitable factory arrangement can allow one iLoader Eco to load material for two cutting machines.
Compact installation
The compact structure is intended to preserve production-floor space while adding useful handling assistance.
Semi-automatic loading assistance
Support the operator through sheet pickup, transfer and placement.
The operator remains involved in the loading cycle while the device provides controlled lifting and positioning assistance. The final workflow should be reviewed around sheet storage, table access, crane or forklift routes, and the position of one or two cutting machines.
Prepare the next sheet
Present suitable sheet stock within the confirmed size, thickness and weight limits.
Engage the loading device
Use the iLoader Eco to assist lifting and transfer rather than relying on repeated manual handling.
Guide the sheet into position
The operator controls the loading sequence and aligns the sheet with the selected cutting table.
Release and prepare the next job
Complete placement, confirm the table is ready and reset the device for the next loading cycle.
iLoader Eco advantages
Four practical benefits for compact sheet-laser production.
The value of semi-automatic loading depends on the current handling method, sheet mix, operator workload and factory layout. World Machinery can review the intended workflow before the final specification is agreed.
Sheet handlingSheets up to 8mm
Bodor publishes loading assistance for sheets from 1mm to 8mm thick, subject to size, material and weight limits.
Shared resourceOne loader for two machines
A correctly planned central position can allow one device to support two cutting machines and improve equipment utilisation.
Floor-space efficiencyCompact footprint
The small installation footprint is intended to retain useful production space compared with larger loading systems.
Layout flexibilityLeft- or right-side positioning
The device can be positioned on either side where the compatible machine, access routes and site layout allow.
Published technical envelope
Use the current manufacturer figures as a planning reference.
Bodor currently lists iLoader eco3 and iLoader eco4 under one technical-parameter section. The published values below should be confirmed for the actual UK configuration, compatible machine and installation layout.

Compatible sheet-laser planning
Review the loader and cutting machine as one connected production area.
The current World Machinery page highlights the Bodor P3. Bodor currently lists P, C, B and A machine families as compatible internationally. UK availability and compatibility should be confirmed for the exact machine model, table layout and control arrangement.
Machine compatibility
Confirm the exact Bodor model, table height, access side and any required control or safety interlock.
One- or two-machine arrangement
Plan whether the loader serves one cutting machine or sits between two compatible machines.
Operator and material routes
Keep clear access for sheet storage, loading, machine operation, maintenance and emergency movement.
Application-led layout planning
Plan the device around sheet stock, operators and available floor space.
A reliable proposal starts with the sheet programme and the physical route from stored material to the laser table. World Machinery can review the loading method, machine position and site constraints before preparing a layout.
Sheet sizes and thicknesses
List normal and maximum sheet dimensions, thicknesses, materials, surface finish and sheet weight.
One or two cutting machines
Confirm the machine models, table positions, loading sides and expected production split between the machines.
Stock presentation and access
Plan sheet storage, pallet or rack position, crane or forklift access and operator movement.
Safety and installation services
Review floor condition, electrical or pneumatic requirements, clearances, guarding and installation responsibilities.
World Machinery UK support
Layout review, installation, training and long-term technical support.
World Machinery can coordinate the iLoader Eco project from application review through layout planning, delivery, installation, operator instruction and ongoing service. Finance options can also be discussed for qualifying businesses.
Handling and labour review
Compare the current sheet-loading method with the proposed semi-automatic workflow and operator requirements.
Factory layout planning
Confirm machine positions, loading sides, sheet storage, access routes and the one- or two-machine arrangement.
Installation and operator training
Coordinate delivery, positioning, commissioning, safe operation and practical team handover.
Service and finance
Protect uptime with UK support and discuss eligible finance packages for the automation project.

iLoader Eco questions
What UK manufacturers usually ask before specifying iLoader Eco.
Final answers depend on sheet size, thickness, weight, compatible machine and site layout. World Machinery can provide a current written configuration for the project.
What is Bodor iLoader Eco?
iLoader Eco is a compact auxiliary sheet-loading device. It provides semi-automatic loading assistance for manual operation, helping reduce repeated lifting effort and improve loading consistency.
Is iLoader Eco fully automatic?
No. Bodor describes iLoader Eco as a semi-automatic loading-assistance device for manual operation. The operator remains involved in the loading cycle.
What sheet sizes can it load?
The current manufacturer page publishes a minimum sheet size of 400 × 400mm and a maximum sheet size of 3048 × 1524mm. Actual suitability also depends on sheet weight, material and machine layout.
What sheet thickness range is published?
Bodor currently publishes a sheet-thickness range from 1mm to 8mm. Sheet size, material grade, surface condition and total weight must also be considered.
What is the maximum loading weight?
The manufacturer publishes a maximum loading weight of 300kg. The complete sheet specification and operating method should be confirmed in the written UK proposal.
Can one iLoader Eco serve two cutting machines?
Bodor states that one device can load material for two cutting machines simultaneously. This requires a suitable central layout, compatible machines, safe access and a reviewed operator workflow.
Can it be positioned on either side of the machine?
Bodor describes flexible left- or right-side positioning according to the processing environment. The final position depends on machine access, table layout, sheet storage and site constraints.
Which Bodor machines are compatible?
The current World Machinery page highlights P3. Bodor currently lists P, C, B and A families internationally. World Machinery should confirm the exact UK machine model and compatibility in writing.
