Title Material Handling Equipment Specification Guide
Description
Bunting Stacking Conveyors eliminate one of the most common bottlenecks in metalforming operations by providing an automated alternative to the manual stacking of sheet metal components as they come off the production line. Conveyors can be used to move sheets or blanks directly from punch presses or stamping and blanking operations or other production machinery. These parts can then be transferred to Bunting Stacking Conveyors for stacking in predetermined quantities, ready to be transferred to another part of your plant or shipped out. Stackers can also be set up to convey rejected parts to separate locations.
