The system's
main functions:
- The Heat shrink tunnel sends the parts on a roller conveyor;
- They are redirected towards an accumulation zone with a system consisting of a set of double transfer chains;
- The system adjusts the pieces on the rollers to a fixed datum and accumulates the desired quantity to be scooped up;
- The mini packs are scooped and transferred by the double GANTRYX stacking and palletizing mechanical system, which ensures that parts are not bent or damaged during handling;
- The system moves towards the bundle assembly station where the parts are automatically stacked to the desired pack width and height.
The production line includes the following equipment:
- Two roller conveyors;
- One chain transfer (TRF-CH);
- Two belts transfer (TRF-C);
- One double GANTRYX system.

*This specific project needed long part palletizing, which explains the double GANTRYX used. This system helps keeping parts intact and damage free as they are transferred towards the stacking zone.
