Component Palletisers demonstrate IEF Werners' expertise

24 July 2009

IEF Werner component palletising systems have proved hugely popular in mainland Europe and are now available in the UK from R. A. Rodriguez.

These handling systems are a natural development from IEF Werners' component business. They embody IEF Werners' expertise in linear motion and control and entirely comprise products that are designed and manufactured in house. IEF Werner pallet systems are designed to provide orderly and gentle transfer of the work pieces to and from modern assembly lines, often integrating end of line process such as part marking and test.

Four basic and fully programmable models complete the range, each with its distinct merits, but all with the ability to be tailored to suit the precise needs of the application. This can range from simple three-axis, pick and place to a multi-axis handling and complete turnkey solutions. All are fundamentally designed to fill, or unfill, a tray with small components. The tray is then indexed down the stack and a new tray presented, a process that is smooth and reliable. Pallet weights range from 5kg to 30 kg.

A small footprint of less than 1m2 and the ability to load from the front or side are features of the varioSTACK.  The slimline PSM is designed for easy integration into assembly lines and scara robot systems and the PSO accommodates customised pallets and allows stacks to be loaded and unloaded at any time during operation. The most widely specified in Europe is the PSU that is designed for applications requiring carriage or belt pallet loading.

By and large most applications require bespoke tray designs and gripper technology but IEF Werner palletisers are also available with a wide range of standard accessories to optimise the handling process. These include gripper rotation, multiple grippers, reversing units, and alignment systems. Typically the palletisers are used for handling medical, electronic and automotive components with many proven applications at leading global manufacturers.
