Automatic stackers are highly efficient automated devices widely used in the warehousing and logistics industries, primarily for the automatic stacking, handling, and storage of goods. By leveraging advanced mechanical structures, control systems, and sensor technologies, they enable precise positioning, rapid stacking, and efficient management of goods, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse operations.
Main Components
Automatic stackers typically consist of the following core components:
Mechanical Structure: Includes columns, beams, load platforms, and forks, which are used to support and move goods.
Drive System: Utilizes motors, servo systems, or hydraulic systems to provide the power needed for the movement and lifting of the equipment.
Control System: Employs PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or computer control systems to achieve automated operation and precise control of the equipment.
Sensor System: Includes photoelectric sensors, laser rangefinders, and other devices to detect the position, height, and status of goods, ensuring operational safety.
Software System: Integrates with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to facilitate data exchange and task scheduling with higher-level information systems.
