Stacker/destacker with articulated arm

The Gantryx stacker/destacker from Doucet Machineries has an articulated arm with vacuum grip. It automates the handling of the panels at the infeed and outfeed of a moulder or sander. A 3-axis vacuum grip manipulator handles the panels with care while maintaining a high cycle rate, the company says. The manipulator, by its translation in vertical and horizontal, unstacks the material from the pallet or the stacking zone.
