Stacking Machine with Aligner

The MAC High Speed Stacker with In-Line Aligner (HSS w ILA) is an automatic stacking machine that stacks parted cast, or continuous plates (lugs in or lugs out).

Working in perfect unison with any MAC Paster, this stacker operates at speeds up to 55 m (180 ft) per minute. Using Control/Compact Logix with Panel View Plus the MAC High Speed Stacker reads the number of plates in a stack to achieve the desired height. Once the proper stack height has been achieved, the stack is lowered to the conveyor and indexed to the aligner. The stacks are indexed into the aligner fixtures, rotated 90°, then the aligner taps and shuffles the stacks until they are aligned. Finally the fixture rotates another 90° to release the aligned stacks onto the conveyor to be indexed, taken off, and palletized manually or automatically with the MAC Automatic Unload and Rack Handling System.
