Energy efficiency is the key feature of the new IEF Werner ecoSTACK pallet system from R A Rodriguez. This new addition is primarily designed for light pallets and can be integrated into assembly lines and combined with existing product handling systems such as robots.
ecoSTACK is said to efficiently transfer raw parts, semi-finished products or sub-assembled components to an assembly station or machine and then unloads them, once processing is complete. It is a flexible solution that can be applied to almost every palletising task that requires precise and effective automation.
Pallets are taken individually from the bottom of the loading stack, placed on the transport belt and successively presented to the processing station. On completion of the process they are individually transferred to the bottom of the unload stack and carried upwards to be integrated into the processed pallet stack. Operator safety is assured by integral safety covers and no additional guarding is required within the pallet stack area.
For greater flexibility ecoSTACK can be fitted with the IEF Werner rotaryARM that has a range of 399mm; an optional NC rotary axis for the gripper can also be specified. The combination of ecoSTACK and rotaryARM can provide a very fast pick and place system for any application that requires an effective and precise automation solution.
