Trascar pallet control system

 

How many times have detective pallets caused problems and annoying slowdowns?

How much time is wasted in sorting pallets from different suppliers?

And when personnel is required to manage them, how does it benefit production?

 

Our Empty Pallet Control Station, with its intriguing features, is an automatic machine designed to ensure the utmost reliability and safety of pallets used in handling and storage processes

 

But…

What are the real distinctive advantages that this innovative solution can offerto your pallet management process?

1. Maximum Quality and Reliability

The Trascar Control Station ensures complete pallet cleaning, the crushing of protruding nails, and the verification of compo [rTnt integrity. This means you can rely on high-quality empty pallets and minimize the risk of defects and damage.

2. Operational Safety

The presence of advanced controls, both for cleaning and verification, contributes to operator and process safety. The pallet control zone is designed with photoelectric barriers but remains accessible for maintenance or emergency interventions.

3. Increased Efficiency and Productivity

Automation of the cleaning and verification processes allows for time and resource savings, improving the overall efficiency of your facility. The machine operates quickly and effectively, ensuring continuous production flow.

4. Flexibility and Customization

The Trascar Control Station is designed to adapt to your specific needs. You can adjust parameters such as crushing pressure, color values, and control tolerances to meet your process requirements.

5. Product Quality Improvement

Verification of load capacity, planarity, and pallet height ensures that pallets are suitable to support a wide range of products and loads. This means fewer risks of damage and higher product quality

6. Greater Precision in Pallet Selection

Thanks to advanced controls, even the smallest inconsistencies or defects can be detected, allowing you to reject non-compliant pallets and ensuring that only high-quality ones are used in the subsequent process

Now, let’s provide a brief overview of the integrable control groups and key features:

1. BRUSHING OF THE LOWER AND UPPER SURFACE

The individual empty pallet is transported through a group of brushes that effectively clean both the lower and upper surfaces from impurities. The upper brushes is motorized to ensure optimal cleaning. An extractable lower drawer facilitates dirt collection.

2. NAIL CRUSHING AND LOAD CAPACITY VERIFICATION

A motorized roller exerts crushing pressure on the upper slats to ensure proper seating or flattening of any protruding nails. This operation is essential for ensuring load stability during automatic palletization. The pressure can be automatically adjusted to verify load capacity as needed.

3. INTEGRITY VERIFICATION OF SLATS AND BLOCKS

The pallet undergoes a comprehensive check using probing cylinders that exert pressure on all components of the pallet, including upper and lower slats and blocks. The PLC system detects any disrepancies, and in case of a non-compliance, commands the pallet to be discarded. This station is equipped with a removable drawer for debris collection.

4. COLOR AND MARK INSPECTION (Optional)

A high-definition camera system detects the colors of pallets and marks printed on the outer blocks. Parametric software allows the operator to adjust detecion paramaters, including color values and recognized text.

4. LENGHT CONTROL

The pallet lenght is controlled according to machine settings.

6. PLANARITY AND PALLET HEIGHT CONTROL (Optional)

This control detects any variations in the pallet surface height. Tolerance values can be set to distinguish compliant from non-compliant pallets. This control can verify surface planarity, pallet height, or any height differences between slats that may cause stability issues.

7. FORKABILITY CHECK

This control verifies the presence of any obstacles that could hinder pallet insertion.

8. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SAFETY

The machine is equipped with an electrical control panel with a Siemens PLC, an operator panel, and a visual status tower light. The pallet control zone is secure with panels and/or photoelectric barriers but remains accessible for maintenance or emergency interventions.

 

Pallet control can be performed in a conveyor line mode or with anthropomorphic robot mode with pallet positioning in various control stations, which are then moved to the reject or conform pile, depending on the case.

 

In summary,

Trascar’s Empty Pallet ControlStation represents a comprehensive and reliable solution to improve the quality and safety of your processes. If you’re tooking to optimize your production and minimizewaste, this machine is the answer
