Tray Palletizers

IEF Werner Palletising Tray Handling Systems

Commonly used within the Medical Device, Automotive and Electronic Component industries, our palletising tray handling systems provide uninterrupted delivery of components to and from production lines.

The trays are loaded into the tray handler by either integrated conveyors or, if a minimum footprint is required, the trolley loading variant offers space saving within the production line. In operation, the tray stacks are positioned to, typically, an integrated cartesian axis system to feed the components to the production line.

Options also allow for integration with SCARA and 6-axis robots. Once a tray is emptied, a new tray of components is moved into position and the empty tray placed within the outfeed stack.
