Certification CE Palletising machinery: Format changeover time Sercos Fieldbus technology, user interface for quick & easy management of end-of-line palletising operations. A touch-screen display for real-time machine diagnosis & technical support additionally machine control features. The HMI displays all possible palletisation patterns by entering the pack size & specifications, and the number of layers required. 1 minute (from HMI panel) Output rate (packs per minute) 35 to 100 packs/minute (according to the size of the product handled & to the palletisation cheme selected) Up to 150 packs per minute Automatically intergrated:(yes/no) Yes Empty pack feeding Yes Yes Insertion of interlayers Yes Yes Connectable to shrinkwrapper Yes Yes Special chracteristics: i.e. low-level feed, cross conveyer barrier Swift & precise movements: The central column is actuated by brushless motors, which guarantee highly dynamic, reli- able & precise movements of all axes of operation. The employment of this technology within palletisation systems, which are characterised by repetitive actions, turns into higher reliability, fewer maintenance operations & lower operating costs. Possible low or up level infeed
