Working principle
The pallet stacker is designed to stack loaded pallets on top of each other. These pallet must
be fed into the machine by a conveyor (not part of the machine). For both of the variants the
machine functions according the following steps:
1. Start - The carrier is in the middle vertical position of the Prorunner mk10 so the pallet
can enter the machine. The pallet clamps are in rest position (opened, reference
position).
2. The first loaded pallet enters the machine.
3. The first pallet has fully entered the machine and is positioned correctly on the
conveyor.
4. The carrier lowers to the bottom position.
5. The forks are inserted into the pallet until they are fully inserted. See section 3.3.8.
6. The pallet is raised it to the middle position.
7. The second pallet can enters the machine.
8. The second pallet is positioned correctly on the conveyor
9. The first pallet is lowered on top of the second pallet.
10. When the pallets are correctly stacked on top of each other, the pallet clamps move to
their rest position (opened, reference position)
11. The pallet stacker moves to the top position of the Prorunner mk10 to make way for
the stacked pallets.
12. The stacked pallets now moves out of the machine on the conveyor.
13. The carriers lowers to the middle vertical position
The vertical position of the carrier is determined by the proximity sensors of the Prorunner
mk10. For the positioning of the carrier refer to the manual UM Prorunner mk10, section 4.2.
Sliding of the pallet clamps
To clamp the pallets and lift them, the pallet stacker uses pallet clamps that slide through the
main frame of the pallet stacker.
