The Automatic Application of GRIPSHEETS®
This practical example of the auto application
of Loadlock GRIPSHEETS® exists somewhere in Europe,
in a company operating 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with
8 Manieri automatic palletisers. The whole operation is neatly
designed to fit into a small space, and run effectively while
fully guarded, with minimal operator input.
This series of photographs demonstrates the
multifunction capability of the palletisers and the excellent
placement of GRIPSHEETS® onto a variety of pre-packaged
consumer products.
The head assembly has been constructed with
a Venturi vacuum assembly, and has eight suction heads fitted
with natural rubber cups to ensure perfect contact every time.
The suction heads are arranged in two rows of four and the photographs
demonstrate the secure grasp this arrangement provides. All the
components in the head assembly are manufactured by Coval vacuum
handling, who are represented in the United Kingdom by Vacucom
Limited.
The GRIPSHEETS® used throughout
this company are GRIPSHEET® 2, based on 90 gsm
base paper, with alternate bands (AD) of dots of a polymeric resin.
