Material Handling

Aerosol cans are carried by conveyor from production to a palletising cell, where they are stacked onto pallets layer by layer with cardboard layer pads in between. The finished pallets are then strapped and wrapped automatically.

Dry mortar bags are produced in large volumes, packed in heavy bags that used to be lifted and stacked onto pallets by hand. We built a line that takes the filled bags, handles them and stacks them onto pallets by robot.

Wall and floor panels for garden buildings are made from many boards, which are nailed together by a robot, which then also stacks the finished panel.

Custom-sized pallets are built in a cell with two robots working on opposite sides of a turntable. One robot lays out the boards in a jig while the other nails the previous pallet and stacks it.

Boards, panels and worktops for kitchen furniture are stored upright in a robotic warehouse that uses the full height of the building. Stacking them this way takes up far less floor space, while the robot stores and retrieves each panel whenever production needs it.
