Facility for stacking products with brackets that can move in the three directions of the space

摘要

The installation has a stacking station (11) for stacking successive layers (13) of a product (12). A constitution station (10) includes brackets (14) to support opposite ends of the product. The brackets are moved along a vertical axis (Z) and a horizontal axis (Y) between two positions by pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The stacking station is implanted at a ground (S) with respect to the constitution station in a horizontally shifted manner. A driving unit actuates the brackets along an axis (X) orthogonal to the vertical and horizontal axes. The brackets are located closer to each other to support the layers when the brackets are in one of the positions. The brackets are located far from each other when the brackets are in the other position to ensure deposit of the layers in the stacking station.
