An automated sorting system is rated up to 10 layer pads/min. The Model LT8 Layer Pad and Top Frame Separator, called the first of its kind in the industry by the co., is designed to unstack layer pads and top frames from an incoming mixed stack using three pallet lifts for sorting. Special features include the Model AS889 Autoserter with an Indramat servo drive for removing pads and frames, independent squaring assemblies, a safety-interrupt light curtain and perimeter safety guarding, plus an integrated control system, the co. says.
