DOUCET | GANTRYX STACKER / DESTACKER

Stack and unstack your moulder or sander with no effort and no human intervention.

The new Doucet GANTRYX stacker/destacker is an articulated arm with vacuum grip, that automates the handling of the panels at the infeed and outfeed of your moulder or sander. It allows automatic stacking and unstacking in the areas provided for this purpose.

Why Doucet GANTRYX Stacker/Destacker?

  • Vacuum grip manipulator
  • 40” vertical and 120” horizontal translation or stroke or movement
  • Rotation from minus 90 to plus 180 degrees

A 3-axis vacuum grip manipulator paired to handle the panels with care while maintaining a high cycle rate. The manipulator by its translation in vertical and horizontal unstack the material from the palet or the stacking zone.

In addition to all these movement actions from one area to another, there is an axis of rotation to orient the material for their next passage through the moulder or sander.

Before feeding, the operator chooses the type of production. Depending on the pattern of production, GANTRYX performs the operation planned at this stage in the sequence.

If you want to extend your cutter life, you need to produce an optimum chip load. And to achieve faster feed rates, you need to have axis servo drives large enough to move the machine’s mass at a rapid speed.
