Product Feeding and Grouping
The transfer of the stacks is directly linked to the stacking unit of the cutter. The carton stacks are conveyed gently by means of belt and roller conveyors (prevention of arc slip)
Optional to the online version the carton stacks can be picked offline from a pallet (with interlayer sheets) by a 6-axis robot.
After all carton stacks of one layer are picked up the empty interlayer sheet will be pick up as well and will be placed on a separate pallet.
An air table can be integrated in the conveying system as an option. On this table the alignment of the carton stacks can be checked and adjusted, faulty cartons can be sorted out or debris can be removed. Subsequently the cartons stacks can be brought back into the production process.
