6.12.1 Operation
The chain and the dogs pull an empty steel pallet from the idle rollers of
the pallet conveyor to the stacking place. At the same time, the previous
full stack moves along on the stack conveyor.
On the stack conveyor, there is room for at least three (3) stacks. The
forklift driver or the swing lift operator must empty the stack conveyor
early enough, at the latest when a stack reaches the safety limit switch
at the end of the conveyor. If the stack conveyor gets full, the safety limit
switch stops the operation of the stacker (and the whole production line).
In normal operation, the stack conveyor works automatically. The stack
conveyor can also be run manually by pressing the Stack Conveyor
-button in OS2, after the operation has been switched to the Man mode
through OS1.
