AutoG Automatic Pallet Take-Out Robot: Removing the Press Wait Between the Open Signal and the Close Signal
A molded wood pallet line is automated from crushing and drying through glue mixing to the press, but the press exit is still staffed: a pallet leaves the die at about 80 degrees Celsius and one operator per 1250 to 1600 ton press reaches in for it, so the press waits on a person between the open signal and the close signal and unit cost carries the delay. AutoG is the automatic pallet take-out robot from EMP that takes the freshly pressed pallet on the press open signal without a cooling wait, transfers it by vacuum suction and stacks it where it leaves the gripper, with one arm alternately tending two presses as a dual press tending cell and the open and close signals wired into the line PLC. Limits are stated plainly: rated load, working radius, repeat accuracy, suction and vacuum configuration, footprint, power and air demand, robot body source and control interface stay project confirmed, no ROI, payback or hourly output is claimed, the 80 degrees Celsius figure is quoted from the EMP equipment centre description, the 1250 to 1600 ton press range and the 4 to 5 minute MDI cycle are supplier statements, and the unit is the press exit take-out and stacking device on a presswood line, not the press itself, not the crush, dry or glue stage and not a stand-alone line.
