Part Stacking Machine - Big Sky Engineering

SITUATION

The customer needed a hybrid stacking system running at 300 closures per minute (CPM) with a custom transfer table.

SOLUTION

Big Sky Engineering built a 4-axis servo-controlled pick-and-place system with a custom row-stacking transfer table, a 90-degree case in-feed conveyor zone, and an in-case remote viewing camera package to confirm proper stacking. A case labeling station and pop-up box in-feed powered roller conveyors round out the line.
