Automated system flips loads
The Pak-Man upender-inverter includes powered conveyor and micro-processor control for automatic operation. Actions include automatic loading, clamping 180-degree rotation, upending, opening and unloading in automated process-handling operations. The unit automatically loads large panels, doors, cabinets, stacks of sheet material, metal, paper or wood. Once lifted, the unit flips the load upside down or right-side up and discharges it. Standard deck size is 4 x 8 feet with a 6-inch high opening. Capacities of 2,000; 4,000; 6,000 and 10,000 pounds are available. Smaller
size units for upending boxes, containers or machine parts are offered....more
