RUNSUN manufacture ingot stacking machine for ingots, plates, waffles etc, to whatever specification suits the customer needs.

A cooling and arranging conveyor is connected to the discharge end of the casting conveyor. Ingots are placed onto conveyor chains and passed through a series of squaring, aligning and turnover mechanisms. The arranged ingots are then collected into batches and presented for robot handling, each batch forming a row in the finished bundle.

A gripper of our own manufacture is designed to suit each application, and is mounted on the wrist of a foundry robot. The robot is a pre-engineered system, but is programmable to give flexibility of bundle creation to suit customer requirements.

For higher production rates, two casting and arranging conveyor series can feed a single robot and walking beam.

The stacking area is protected by a 2 meter high safety fence with entrances protected by electrically interlocked doors.

The robot builds the bundles of ingots onto a walking beam conveyor, which can incorporate automatic weighing and marking systems if required. Finished bundles are carried through the safety fence, ready for fork lift handling.
