This load stacker features a turning cross conveyor to orient the stack for pick up with a forklift. This load stacker was designed for these cardboard totes on slip sheets, but we've also designed automated stackers for loads on standard pallets.
Automated load stackers can take a unitized load and place it on top of an existing palletized load. This is done to conserve space and can be done in the production line by our pallet double load stacker.

Empty pallets are inserted to the line at a point where a load stacker is used to consolidated loads. Empty pallets are introduced to the overhead gantry by three independent pallet dispensing lines, each dedicated to a specific type of pallet. When a load is delivered to the pallet inserter line, a signal will be given to a particular style of pallet depending on the load SKU.

The conveyor shown in the video is a zero pressure accumulation conveyor with singulation release. The rollers are powered by a padded chain running the length of the conveyor line.
As cartons enter each zone, a photo eye detects the presence of the carton and activates the cylinder which causes the brake to lift the rollers off the padded chain, stopping the rollers.
Accumulation conveyors provide a steady supply of parts or products to an assembly or production line, to control the flow of parts, or to stop the flow if the production line is halted or overwhelmed. Used for a wide range of applications ranging from automotive assembly to bag filling, our accumulating conveyors can be integrated into assembly and production lines.
Zero pressure accumulation method uses accumulation zones of a predetermined length and a way to apply and release drive pressure within these zones. In each zone, a sensor to turn off the rollers within that zone. The accumulation zones are configured so that the loads on the conveyor line do not make contact with each other. This spacing prevents loads that would be otherwise damaged if they came in contact with adjacent boxes or pallets.
This method is used in pallet and carton handling applications to ensure gaps between loads. This release mode is similar to the on-ramp traffic lights that we have here in Chicago. They allow traffic onto the expressway in a carefully metered flow. The method is ideal for outfeed to an unload station allowing an operator to manually move the load off the line. The lower throughput is not ideal for applications where the accumulating conveyor is feeding into a sorter or to a robotic palletizer.

However, the gantry crane system can also be used to collect and dispense empty pallets as well.
The gantry crane's automation controls detect a conveyor line that needs a slave board.
The crane is then dispatched to a stack of slave boards where the crane will pick up a slave board and deliver it to the correct spot on the conveyor line.

The Problem: An engine manufacturer had a process in place that, although highly automated, was not efficient enough.
Plant management contacted Industrial Kinetics to help them reduce the time it took to move a 3,000lb engine into and out of a testing fixture.
The Solution: Industrial Kinetics extended the existing conveyor by adding pop-up chain transfers, sensors, and controls.
This created an accumulation zone where loads could be staged before moving into the testing area.
The Result: The cycle from the end of a test and the beginning of the next test was reduced by 60%.
The customer achieved gains in efficiency and productivity by improving throughput for extra demand without having to add more test stations.Pre-Galvanized Chain Conveyor and Transfer LinkIndustrialKinetics2016-07-21 | Industrial Kinetics, Inc. would like to show you how to move material on chain conveyors and transfer links.8k Lbs.

We accomplished this by locating an inbound and an outbound conveyor perpendicular to the assembly lines at the midpoint of the lines, at the receiving dock. The material would accumulate, and elevate one pallet at a time to an overhead pallet conveyor loop. The pallets would convey on this loop to one of four lowerators. The lowerator would lower the load to ground level and accumulate for forktruck pickup. Adjacent to each of the four lowerators we incorporated four lifts with inbound accumulation for the removal of packing materials and empty pallets. The packing material would be conveyed out to an accumulation conveyor immediately next to the inbound material accumulation conveyor. This eliminated the long forklift trips around the end of line.Pallet InserterIndustrialKinetics2012-02-03 | Equipment designed to insert a pallet under unitized loads.
