MAC Automatic Unload and Rack Handling System

The MAC Automatic Unload and Rack Handling System will quickly and automatically load stacked and parted, cast or continuous plates (lugs in or lugs out) at a speed of up to 55 m (180 ft) per minute onto a rack or pallet. It matches the speed of the optaMAC X610 Paster or the MAC Steel Belt Paster. The Control/Compact Logix with Panel View Plus, and the robot allow the system to achieve the desired layer stack height and layout. Once the stack layout has been achieved, the robot will place a slip sheet on the pallet or rack until it is full. Once full, the rack or pallet will index into the pickup station. The rack that contained the slipsheets will index into the stack load station. The empty rack or pallet with the slip sheets will index into the slip sheet station leaving the rack load station empty to receive a new rack loaded with slip sheets. Robotic palletizing and automatic rack handling system options are available to use with MAC High Speed Stackers for further reductions in labor.
