Applications  Zip Chain Actuator - Stacking/unstacking application

Applications

Automated manual operation for stacking

Before improvement

  • ・Products coming downstream from conveyors were manually unloaded and stacked one by one by a worker

Problem

  • ・Stacking heavy products high was a major burden on the workers.
  • ・Stacking too a long time.

Solution

  • ・Enabled automation: An encoder combination enabled high precision multi-point stopping as well as conveyor feed to match each product's height.
  • ・Compact: Less space under the loads means that the number of products stacked could be increased.
