Abstract
The invention relates to a new device for and a new method of assembling stacking patterns and simultaneously stacking these stacking patterns by means of a robotic manipulator having at least one translational robotic axis.
Claims11
A method for stacking cut-to-size board pieces at a stacking bin into a stack comprising the steps:
- picking said cut pieces with a robotic manipulator,
- feeding said cut pieces to said stacking bin by said robotic manipulator,
- placing said cut pieces on said stacking bin by said robotic manipulator in such a way that in placing said cut pieces a stacking pattern of said stack is assembled,
- said robotic manipulator being traveled along a translational axis.
