MMCI Develops SD-30 Automated Slip Sheet Dispenser

As leaders in the field of automatic palletization, MMCI Robotics developed the SD-30 slip sheet dispenser to provide the flexibility, precision, and speed required to fully optimize the palletization process safely and efficiently. This machine was specifically engineered to address the most common challenges related to placing slip sheets in the palletization process.

It holds a wide variety of sizes and is compatible with paper, cardboard, and corrugated cardboard slip sheets. It completely automates the slip sheet process and can even make automatic adjustments for uneven loads.

Plus, it is designed to withstand even the toughest industrial environments. The upside-down raceway eliminates dust collecting on the rails, and the bearings feature wipers that clean the tracks as they travel back and forth, making this versatile machine almost entirely self-cleaning.

In this example, the SD-30 has been constructed at an ideal height to accommodate fully loaded pallets. However, it can also be deployed at various stages in the conveyor line for placing slip sheets between layers of product or directly on to empty pallets.

The 30-inch tall hopper can be manually configured to hold a wide variety of sheets at any one time or outfitted with an optional motor driven adjustment. After placing the slip sheets into the hopper, the operator closes the access door. The door has been outfitted with a category three safety switch in order to prevent the dispenser from operating until worker safety can be ensured. To further simplify the process and eliminate potential for human error, the SD-30 also features a single start push button, which activates the suction cup head to descend into the hopper.

The SD-30 slip sheet dispenser comes ready-made with these reliable features whether you’re integrating a standalone machine with existing equipment, or designing an entirely new system from scratch.

MMCI Robotics provides turnkey robotic systems – from design and installation to ongoing support and maintenance – that increase product throughput, maximize plant efficiency and improve quality with a focus on safety and ergonomics.
