Multi-shaft palletiser

The new IEF-Werner multi-shaft palletisers offer higher autonomy times than conventional varioSTACK systems as well as many other advantages:

• extension of the autonomy buffer
• NOK parts can be deposited separately
• processing of raw and finished parts possible without intermixing
• mixed operation: several product variants can be processed simultaneously. New product variants can be set up during operation

A 3-shaft palletiser (carriage loader) has the same capacity as a varioSTACK belt loader but needs less space. With the 3-shaft palletiser you get the same autonomy as a varioSTACK belt loader that needs 4 stacks.

A second pallet table can be integrated in multi-shaft palletisers. On top of this, NOK parts can be deposited in a separate tray and shaft. This prevents the mixing of good and bad parts.

Finished parts can be placed in a separate tray, when integrating a second pallet table.

Raw parts are removed from a tray (table 1).
Finished parts are deposited in a separate tray (table 2).

If fewer finished parts are returned (NOK processing), empty trays can be buffered back in a separate tray. This ensures that only fully loaded trays with finished parts are delivered.

Several product variants can be processed simultaneously. New product variants can be set up during operation. If the multi-shaft palletiser has a second pallet table, a second product variant can be stored in a separate tray.

Variant 1 on table 1,
variant 2 on table 2.

In this way, it is possible to switch between two variants without any loss of cycle time. Expansion with a 5-6 shaft variant is possible.
