RP3 Stacking machine

For more than 30 years, Duivestein has been developing various automatic stacking machines, tailored to the wishes of the customer. We are proud to have added a new stacking machine to the RP family. The RP-3 Stacking Machine has been completely renewed compared to the RP-2 by means of the latest techniques.

 

A striking feature and innovation is that the RP-3 Stacking Machine, instead of stacking on the lifting table, the stacks are placed directly on the pallets on the ground. This technique makes it easier to transport the pallets further in the warehouse.

Operation of the RP3 Stacking Machine

The stack feeders work by means of vacuum technique. They can be placed in front of and / or behind almost any production machine. You can think of sawing, sanding, milling machines, edge banding machines, painting lines and all-rounders. Using various options and expansion options, such as automatic bearings and transverse transfer systems, a fully automatic production line is made possible.

Specifications

  • Stacking and insertion of planks and beams
  • Speed of up to 5 actions per minute with a weight of up to 25 kg
  • Maximum handling weight is 50 kg

Use the RP3 Stacker as a stacker

Workpieces coming out of a production machine are transported by the conveyor belt and placed under the suction cups so that it can grab the workpiece. When the workpiece is in place, the lifting column will lower the suction cup bar on top of the workpiece. The vacuum pump will then switch on and the workpiece will be sucked against the suction cup bar. When the underpressure of the vacuum is high enough, the lifting column with the suction cup bar will go up again, the workpiece will be taken along by it. When the lifting column is completely at the top, the vacuum truck will move to the left in the direction of the deposit location. Once there, the vacuum truck will stop and the suction cup bar will release the workpiece. After this, the vacuum truck will go to the right again and stop above the conveyor at a fixed value. If there is a new workpiece under the suction cup bar, this cycle will repeat itself and the workpiece is then placed next to the previous workpiece. When a broadside is on the deposition site, it will lower so far that a new layer can be formed. After this, the stacker will resume its work until it has stacked a full pallet.

Use the RP3 Stacker as an input device

In this case, the machine works in exactly the opposite direction. The parts are picked up from the removal position or deposit location and placed on the conveyor belt.

Investment in an RP3 stacker

The RP3 stacking machine has been developed with the idea of achieving a return for you as quickly as possible. The payback period of an RP3 stacking machine is approximately one year. The additional advantage is that the machine is easy to install and program. Furthermore, the programming system is designed in such a way that it can be operated without any prior training. The competitive price and ease of use make it possible for everyone to automate the production process.
