The process steps

  • Once the required sawing process has been completed, the cut stacks are transported to the automation cell via conveyor belt
  • The stacks are labeled individually
  • Two flexible stack outfeed options are available within the cell
  • If required, intermediate layers of cardboard are placed and loaded via magazines
  • A robot is used for individual sorting, destacking to transport pallets and outfeed

Distinctive features of the project

The huge variety of different materials and dimensions of the components within this automation project is truly unique. Only with the help of cleverly designed interfaces, validation tests, light barriers and measuring systems the large number of special combinations can be handled. At the same time, both the fragile nature of the materials and the resulting high quality demands of the consumers require some additional considerations: Roller conveyors with a protective plastic coating and monitoring of the pressure forces acting on the traverse gripper system are just a few examples. The project‘s planning work in form of a simulation was also decisive for the course of the project: in order to achieve the performance targets, three different outfeed options with corresponding signal lights for onward transport were implemented. With this tailor-made special solution, the amount of time and effort was significantly minimized and our customer‘s employees can now focus on more complex tasks.
