Pick & Place with Pallet Dispenser

The Pick & Place is a piece of equipment consisting of a storage magazine, a belt driven carriage transfer with a bed of vacuum suction cups with vertical and horizontal motion. Sensors are used for motion control and to detect stack height in the magazine.
The Pick & Place lines up with in-feeding and exit conveyors to supply slip sheets to the pallet being conveyed. The carriage with vacuum suction cups are lowered to detect and pick up one slip sheet at a time off of a stack stored in the magazine. The carriage moves up and then horizontal to place the slip sheet directly over a pallet prior to palletizing or between each layer of products when layer forming.
