Board Palletizer

The board palletizer is an intelligent equipment designed specifically for the automated stacking, sorting, and transportation of boards such as metal plates, wooden boards, plastic boards, glass substrates and gypsum boards, etc. It is widely used in industries such as building materials, furniture, metallurgy, electronics, and packaging. It solves the pain points of "heavy, brittle, and easily scratched" in sheet metal handling by replacing manual palletizing, and achieves the improvement, standardization, and safety of the production process.

Description

Board palletizer is also named board palletizing machine, plate stacking machine, board stacking machine, board suction machine, automatic feeding machine, automatic unloading machine, or stacker crane.

Features:

1, The design of the board palletizer takes into account the characteristics of large sheet area, uneven weight, and fragile surface, and makes refined improvements.

Precise gripping method: Through customized grippers (such as vacuum sucker group, mechanical gripper, electromagnetic suction cup), it can adapt to different materials/sizes of boards - for example, vacuum sucker for glass substrates, strong suction electromagnetic sucker or vacuum silicone sucker for metal plates, anti slip mechanical gripper or vacuum silicone sucker for wooden boards, and vacuum silicone sucker for plastic boards, to avoid scratching, deformation or detachment during gripping.

2, Ordered Stacking: According to the preset program,

1. Stack and interlace

2. Align edges and corners

3. Limit height

4. Limit low height

5. Limit width

6. Limit length

7. Limit number of layers

8. The technology stacks the boards layer by layer into a regular stack.

3, Intelligent transfer: After palletizing is completed, it can be linked with conveyor belts, AGV carts or forklifts to automatically transfer the stack to the storage area, the next process (such as laminating, packaging) or transport vehicles, achieving a seamless connection between palletizing and transfer.

Technical Specifications:

Configuration	Function and Effect	Example of Universal Adaptation Design
Gripper system	Directly contacting and grasping the board is the core executing component	-Vacuum sucker group: Suitable for smooth/scratch resistant plates (glass, plastic plates) - Electromagnetic sucker: Suitable for magnetic metal plates (steel plates, aluminum plates) - Mechanical gripper: Suitable for thick/heavy plates (solid wood panels, gypsum boards)
Walking Drive System	Drive the gripper/pallet to move and achieve the "X/Y axis"	-Servo motor+guide rail+synchronous belt: precision positioning, error ≤± 10mm) Load weight: 1-200 kilograms
Stacking/Conveyor System	Carrying boards to be palletized or already palletized bodies	-Fixed stacking platform: small batch, single size sheet metal - roller conveyor belt: continuous production, matched with assembly line feeding - Adjustable stacking platform: stacking height adaptive, to avoid the stacking body being too high and tipping over
Control system	Receiving instructions, planning paths, and controlling the collaborative work of various modules	-PLC control system: basic logic control (fixed program palletizing) - human-machine interaction screen (HMI): visual operation, supporting parameter modification (such as stacking type, speed) - Linkage interface: docking with MES system and AGV scheduling system to achieve intelligent factory integration
Security protection system	Ensure equipment operation and personnel safety	-Safety grating: Stop when personnel approach the grabbing area - Emergency stop button: Forced power-off in case of equipment malfunction - Overload protection: Alarm when grabbing weight exceeds the limit to avoid motor damage

Main classification: Divided by automation level and application scenarios

1, Classified by degree of automation

Semi automatic board palletizer: it requires manual assistance for loading (such as placing the sheet at the grabbing station), and the equipment automatically completes grabbing and stacking.

It is suitable for small and medium-sized production with narrow space and low cost.

Fully automatic board palletizer: it can be directly connected to front-end production lines (such as sheet cutting lines and pressing lines), automatically receiving, positioning, grasping, palletizing, and transporting sheets without manual intervention;

It is suitable for large-scale, continuous production (such as large gypsum board factories, metal sheet processing factories).

2, Classified by structural form

Longmen truss type board palletizer: It achieves grasping and palletizing through the "X/Y" two axis movement, with a stable structure, suitable for scenarios where the size of the plate is fixed and the palletizing position is single (such as wooden boards, plastic boards, glass substrates palletizing).

Advantage: Addressing the pain points of manual palletizing

1. Improve efficiency: The efficiency of manual palletizing in a single shift (8 hours) is about 400-500 sheets, while the fully automatic palletizing machine can reach 1000-1400 sheets and can operate continuously for 24 hours, increasing efficiency by 2-3 times.

2. Stacking neatness: To avoid "edge and corner alignment deviation" and "deformation/scratching of the board caused by uneven force" during manual stacking, improve the regularity of the stacking body, and reduce the product scrap rate.

3. Cost reduction: Replace 2-3 manual workers (especially heavy board palletizing requires manual labor) to reduce the risk of work-related injuries during manual handling (such as board smashing and waist injuries).

4. Adapt to diverse needs: By replacing the gripper and modifying the program, it is possible to quickly switch and adapt to different sizes (from thin glass to thick glass) and different sizes (from 1m × 2m to 3m × 6m to 1 × 12m) of boards, with strong compatibility.

Application scenarios

1. Building materials industry: End palletizing of production lines for magnesium oxide board, insulation board, gypsum board, fiber cement board, and calcium silicate board, achieving automation of "production palletizing storage".

2. Furniture industry: palletizing of solid wood panels, furniture boards, solid wood particle boards, ecological boards, and plywood, in conjunction with subsequent lamination and edge sealing processes for transportation.

3. Metal plate processing industry: palletizing of single aluminum plates, galvanized plates, and aluminum-plastic plates to avoid scratches on the metal surface and adapt to heavy loads (single plate weight 50-200kg).

4. Plastic board industry: automatic palletizing machines are used for PVC board, PP board, PU board, and Sunshine endurance board.

Key Factors for Selection Notice

1. Board characteristics: Clearly define the material of the board (determining the type of gripper), size (determining the equipment travel), weight (determining the load capacity), and surface requirements (whether it is resistant to scratching or pressure).

2. Capacity demand: Select semi-automatic (low capacity) or fully automatic (high capacity) models based on single shift/daily production to avoid "overusing" or "insufficient capacity".

3. Venue space: Choose one or two according to your needs.

4. Linkage requirement: If it is necessary to connect with the production line or AGV, it is necessary to confirm whether the equipment supports industrial bus, and to customize it after detailed communication with the supplier

In short, the board palletizer is the core equipment for the automation upgrade of the board production process. Its design revolves around "protecting the board, improving efficiency, and adapting to different scenarios", and has become a key equipment for modern board enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and ensure quality.
