Lateral Chain Feeder

The Lateral Chain Feeder Model MFE-150 is designed for continuous feed up to 300 feet per minute of fixed or random length pieces into a moulder. On the feed table, boards are automatically placed along the feed line by perpendicular strands of chains.  A pneumatic system lowers chain carriage between each feed cycle, thus preventing unnecessary friction between the piece being fed and the reserve material.  Boards are automatically driven in sequence by a combination of two powered wheels located under the material and two top pressurized wheels.

The MANYX stacker/destacker is an equipment that allows to feed lumber without operators in many types of woodworking equipment like moulders, planers, CNC routers or optimizing lines for example. The MANYX can feed and separate layers of incoming lumber bundles, with or without sticks, random widths and lengths or even some profiled boards depending on the final configuration. It can also be designed to stack material coming out from a finishing line or in palletizing operations in nested flooring applications.

Panel Return Conveyor System

The RETYX, an articulated arm with a vacuum grip, automates the handling of the panels at the infeed and outfeed of your edgebander. With similar features to a typical return conveyor, it has the advantage of presenting the parts in the right orientation for the next pass, allowing automatic stacking and unstacking in the areas provided for this purpose.

A 3-axis vacuum grip manipulator paired with receiving and return conveyors to handle the panels with care while maintaining a high cycle rate. The manipulator by its translation in vertical and horizontal moves the panels from the reception to the return zone or the stacking zone. It is also possible to use a zone to unstack the incoming panels in the production cell according to the operating mode.  In addition to all these movement actions from one area to another, there is an axis of rotation to orient the panels for their next passage through the edgebander.  Before feeding, the operator chooses the type of production and selects the number of passes of the panel to be fed. Depending on the pattern of production, RETYX performs the operation planned at this stage in the sequence.

The GANTRYX, an articulated arm with vacuum grip, automates the handling of the panels at the infeed and outfeed of your moulder or sander. It allows automatic stacking and unstacking in the areas provided for this purpose.

A 3-axis vacuum grip manipulator is paired to handle the panels with care while maintaining a high cycle rate. By its translation vertical and horizontal, the manipulator unstacks the material from the pallet or the stacking zone.

In addition to all these movement actions from one area to another, there is an axis of rotation to orient the material for its next passage through the moulder or sander.

Before feeding, the operator chooses the type of production. Depending on the pattern of production, GANTRYX performs the operation planned at this stage in the sequence.

  • Vacuum grip manipulator
  • 40” vertical and 120” horizontal translation or stroke or movement
  • Rotation from minus 90 to plus 180 degrees
