High speed panel stacking system

摘要

The stacking system is characterised by: an opposing pair of side walls (4) opening outwards, positioned at the end of the panel conveyor belt, each of which supports on its internal side its own series of rollers (4a); a device for the formation of panel stacks (P) positioned under the pair of opening side walls (4) and consisting of two chains (5a) supporting shelves (5b); it being provided that said chains (5a) rotate in a closed circuit on respective overlying pairs of pinions with horizontal axis; it being also provided that the downward sliding of said chains around their respective pinions occurs gradually according to the weight loaded on shelves (5b); a fork having horizontal (3) positioned precisely under stacking device (5), sliding in alternating vertical direction; a series of horizontal adjacent stringers (8) positioned at a height above that of fork (3) at the end of its bottom run; it being provided that said stringers (8) extend from the operating station of the above fork (3) to the lifting station of the panel stacks (P) where the same are lifted by the mechanical hand (1); a pair of upright rods (9) which perform alternating runs in horizontal direction along the spaces between the stringers (8).
