AP&T has produced a destacker that is said to meet the automotive industry's demand for increasingly rapid production speed. The DST-DH destacker can work twice as quickly compared with a conventional destacker, says AP&T, and is intended for use with blanks for large vehicle parts such as doors, ceilings and sides.
The DST-DH is equipped with double Gantry 200 feeders, while the centring tables are equipped with brushes to ensure scratch-free handling. Picking is performed with the assistance of a vacuum.
The destacker can be supplemented with a washer and lubrication unit. Since it is module-based, it can also be scaled down for use with other applications, such as in the domestic appliance industry.
Capacity is up to 20/40 blanks per minute (single/double blanks), while blanks up to 3,500 x 2,000 mm can be accommodated.
