After the strips are cut into panels of various thicknesses, widths and lengths, these panels are stacked on pallets in a straight-edged manner without scratches.
Depending on the material, different stacking systems are used:
- Magnetic stacking unit for ferrous magnetic materials
- vacuum stacking unit for non-magnetic materials (for example aluminium or austenitic steels)
- air floatation stacking unit for materials with insensitive surfaces
- One or more stacking positions for “on-the-fly” change
- Stacking of long sheet bars over several stacking positions
- Single- or multiblanking operation
- Strip widths of more than 2,400 mm
- Band speed up to 120 m/min
- Operating modes: Dropping panels in start-stop mode, in braked mode or in continuous operation
- CNC-movable and swivelling stops with automatic adjustment to different panel sizes
- Stacking by stacking masks is possible
- Highly dynamic adjustment drives via servomotor for rapid program change
- Controlled servo drives for magnetic and vacuum belts
