Apparatus for palletizing bundles of paper

摘要

An apparatus for stacking irregular height bundles of paper onto a shipping pallet. Height detectors measure bundles traveling on a conveyor. The height data is utilized by a computer system to control an accumulator to accumulate and stack bundles to a predetermined height and then move the bundles to a storage compartment. The computer instructs a robot to move the stored bundles and place them in a compartmentalized guide box on a pallet in a substantially level predetermined layer height.
