Configuration

The complete Post Press system consists of floor and overhead conveyors, one RS 840 double stream trimming line, two RS 32 high-speed stackers with strapping units as well as one RS 400 palletizing robot with an automatic pallet dispenser and an automatic slip sheet feeder.

Before the production of the three folder deliveries is transported via overhead conveyors for three side trimming to the RS 840 double stream trimming line, waste copy systems eject start-up, blanket washing and splicer waste. Good copies of untrimmed products can alternatively bypass the trimming line without trimming. Trimmed or untrimmed production are directed to the two RS 32 high-speed stackers that turn the shingled streams into neat stacks. The stacks are smoothly ejected via an intelligent servo-pusher and can optionally be strapped.

On two accumulation conveyors which are merged, the products are directed to the pick-up station of the RS 400 palletizing robot. The stacks are picked-up by the double A4-gripper of the RS 400 and are placed smoothly and precisely onto the automatically delivered pallet. To additionally stabilize the pallets, slip sheets are automatically put onto each pallet. Full pallets are removed from the palletizing cell and are replaced by an empty pallet.
