Pallet check Control System
Woodpecker - Pallet quality check system
The pallet automatic checking system WOODPECKER (independent module) can be installed at the end-of-line, both on existing and on new lines, involving no halts to production.
The system guarantees accurate inspection of:
- Pallet dimensions
- Integrity of the main structure
The robot picks up the pallet and releases it on the roller conveyor before the check unit, located below the Fanuc robot base.
The system is provided with a pressing plate to drive nails protruding from the upper surface of the pallet.
The check unit carries out dimension controls (length, width, thickness) and integrity checking (upper tables, lower tables and presence of the 9 base sockets).
Pallets are checked, selected and placed in specific loading areas. Pallets showing anomalies are rejected and placed on a particular roller conveyor, for further repair and subsequent input into the production process.
