Stacking and de-stacking equipment

Pinomatic delivers different kinds of stacking and

destacking equipment for the wood industry. Pinomatic

stackers can be used at the infeed of woodworking ma-

chines or lines as well as after them to stack ready-made

products.

Pinomatic stacking and de-stacking equipment is avail-

able in many different models. Over 400 stackers have

been delivered to different stages of production in the

wood industry.

There is a vast arrangement of different kind of grippers,

from mechanical grippers to vacuum boxes. Pinomatic

vacuum box gripper was granted a patent in 2014 by the

European Patent Office.

Pinomatic 1900 is a reliable basic stacker, which can be

used at the infeed of woodworking machines or lines and

after them for stacking ready-made products.

Also, our portal stackers can be used for the infeed of

woodworking machines or lines as well as at the end of

them. Portal models are especially suitable for applica-

tions with high line speed and many stack stations. There

are different models available according to the material

that is handled on the line. The stackers can also be

equipped with servomotors to increase capacity.

Layer stackers stack complete timber batches. There is

also optional equipment available, such as a stick feeder.

To optimising cross cut saw lines, there are OS-stackers

available in different models, according to capacity.

There are models available for lines that are on the floor

level, as well as for lines that have been lifted up.

Stacker Pinomatic 1930 is designed for stacking panel

and moulding bundles packaged in shrink plastic. The de-

vice provides straight stacks without damaging the plas-

tic packaging. The device is always delivered with a dis-

charge conveyor at the end of the packaging machine.

We also deliver different kinds of special stackers and

destackers according to the needs of the customer. In ad-

dition, we have heavy duty models available for the

handling of heavy pieces such as CLT and LVL.

Conveyors

Almost all of our deliveries contain a specific number of

conveyors. Our delivery programme includes belt, roll

and chain conveyors produced individually for each cus-

tomer, following the specific needs.

The conveyors range from light conveyors for furni-

ture components to massive timber stack conveyors. The

combination of appropriate conveyors with competent

programming forms the basis of a properly functioning

production line.

Wood Vision

The Pinomatic Wood Vision is a wood optimising and grading

system that scans on four sides. The scanner is capable of re-

cognising any defects that is possible to see with a modern

camera and laser technology; such as knots, cracks, pith, resin

pockets, wane, blue stain, decay, compression wood and di-

mension faults. The Pinomatic Wood Vision scanner system

can be used for quality control in areas such as cross-cutting

saw and planer/moulder lines, as well as in other targets

where the pieces move in a longitudinal direction.

Circle View

Pinomatic CircleView scanner is designed to display the an-

nual rings on a board's end and to control a turning device be-

fore woodworking machines. The device is ideal for planing,

band saw and finger jointing lines, as well as similar applica-

tions where boards are moving in a cross direction in a con-

trolled manner on a knot chain conveyor. CircleView can also

be connected to existing lines.

ScannersScanners

We have produced various special sawing machines to meet

our customers' requirements. The machines have been in-

stalled for cutting frame components, for splitting and cutting

glued components in connection with edge gluing presses, in

front and at the back of planing machines for cutting compo-

nents into sizes, and after finger jointing machines. We also

supply heavy duty saws for massive wood components and

saws suitable for LVL production lines.

Special sawsSpecial saws

Pinomatic HotLine shrink packaging machine is suitable for

the packaging of long pieces, such as mouldings, panels and

parquets. In the packing unit, the bundles are wrapped auto-

matically into a plastic sheet from a roll, and the ends of the

sheet are welded tightly. After that the bundle is transferred to

a heater, where the plastic is shrunk tightly around the bundle.

The shrink packaging machine is available in two different

capacities, according to the needs of the customer. Our deliv-

ery programme also includes equipment for the packaging of

wide pieces, such as doors and edge glued panels.

Pinomatic provides solutions for various types of planing

lines. For different dimensions and line speeds, there are

specific standard products. The production line can use a

modern vacuum gripper technology or a traditional tilt

hoist system.

We can deliver full mechanisation for planing lines,

from feeding until the end of the line, to the speeds of

high capacity planing machines.

Pinomatic delivers devices for the automation of finger

jointing lines, to improve the capacity and ergonomics of

the lines. The deliveries include feeding devices from

manual to fully automatic feeding (various automation

levels), unmanned equipment for installation between a

cross-cutting saw and finger jointing machine, as well as

stacking and cutting devices for finger jointed timber.

Our delivery programme includes devices for the au-

tomatic feeding of both horizontal and vertical joint ma-

chines. As a speciality, Pinomatic has developed a fully au-

tomatic unmanned stacking device, which forms batches

that are then fed to the finger jointing machine.

Pinomatic delivers mechanisations for different kinds of

band saw lines. We distribute complete line mechanisa-

tion from infeed of the band saw to the stacking of

readymade products. Often, the lines include grading

and sorting, with a CircleView camera system.

In addition to mechanisation, we can also provide optimis-

ing cross-cutting saw lines with a scanner. Stacks are un-

loaded to the line and guided to a scanner, which transmits

the sawing list to the cross-cutting saw. For cut pieces we of-

fer top-speed stacking devices of the OS-series.

We supply two types of finishing lines. Firstly, there are

lines for the surface treatment of furniture components, in

which case the processed pieces are wide. The second type

of finishing lines is designed for the surface treatment of

narrow pieces such as construction mouldings, panels or ex-

ternal wall timber that are finished at high line speeds.

In the largest delivered lines, the pieces are surface

treated three times and move over 230 metres along the

line.

the wood industry.

Pinomatic delivers mechanisations for sticking and stack-

ing lines, to handle kiln drying stacks before and after the

drying.

SCADA system (supervisory control and data acquisition)

is the basis for comprehensive control of the complete

production line.

The SCADA system supplied by Pinomatic helps to

considerably increase the utilisation rate of the line,

thanks to centralised control. Inputting the settings takes

less time, as they can be done from one place, and possi-

ble disturbances can be quickly located and eliminated,

without wasting time searching for the cause of the dis-

turbance.

Often the SCADA system is connected to the wood

working machines of other machine suppliers, as well.

For each product produced on the line, a production

plan can be created. With the SCADA system, it becomes

a that includes the technical settings, accord-“formula”

ing to which the line machines are controlled.

The SCADA system can also be included in different

kinds of statistics and production reports.

The user and maintenance manuals, as well as other

documents, can also be added to the SCADA system.

CLT productionCLT production

Pinomatic has delivered mechanisation devices for CLT

production and can offer customised production line solu-

tions.

According to the destination and needs, the actual

lamination of the elements can be completed with sur-

face polishing and the cutting of openings. The boards re-

quired in the elements can be finger joined and planed at

the same factory.

Glulam productionGlulam production

Pinomatic has been mechanising different sizes produc-

tion lines for glulam production and has extensive

knowledge and experience of the lines.

For glulam pressing lines, we deliver equipment in

the front of the press for the grading of lamellas and pre-

paring the lamella batches, which can be done using the

“formulas” made by the SCADA system delivered by

Pinomatic. At the end of the pressing line, there are de-

vices for the separating and stacking of the glulam

beams.

The glulam beams can be trimmed to lengths on the

glulam planing line. After the planing, the quality of the

glulam is checked and they can be guided to a repairing

station, if needed. At the end of the line, the glulam

beams are stacked and packaged.

Pinomatic can offer production lines for the plywood in-

dustry as well as a variety of conveyor, stacking and de-

stacking equipment and mechanisation solutions.

The most up-to-date, patented vacuum box techno-

logy is utilised in the stackers. These solutions provide

flexibility and cost-efficiency in production, as one vac-

uum stacker is able to stack a number of grades and di-

mensions at the same time, such as finished plywood for

customer-specific stacks.

Pinomatic has also in the production programme

stack turning devices for the plywood industry. Turning

devices can be used in different stages of the production,

for example for turning veneer and plywood stacks.

Stacks are brought to the turning device as well as re-

ceived from the device on the same side of the device,

thus meaning that the device takes up minimal space.

For LVL production, Pinomatic delivers different kinds of

production line solutions for the customised cutting and

packaging of the pieces, according to the needs and fac-

tory space of the customer.

The lines consist of mechanisation equipment and de-

vices for handling the stacks. We also deliver different

kinds of splitting and trimming saws for LVL boards and

beams.

Often, calibration sanding, splitting, planing and

moisture protecting is also done on the LVL lines.

Patented vacuum technology is used in the stacking

and de-stacking devices.

Pinomatic has developed a vacuum-operating manual

lifting device, which can be attached to a hall crane, for

example. Typical targets where this lifting device can be

used include the handling of heavy pieces such as ply-

wood, LVL or wooden boards.

Lifting devices are manufactured according to the spe-

cific needs of the customer. Lifting devices are equipped

with UPS in the event of unexpected power disruption.

The lifting device is CE-marked.

LVL productionLVL production

Plywood productionPlywood production

Pinomatic supplies edge glued panel factories automatic

production lines complete with edge gluing presses.

Most deliveries have been for manufacturing edge glued

panels from different types of wood, but many lines have

also been delivered for component production in door

and window factories.

INNOVAPRESS

Pinomatic INNOVAPRESS operation is continuous. On the

front end of the press, the “warm part”, the glue is acti-

vated quickly, which enables an essential shortening of

the time taken in pressing. At the rear end of the press

there is a cooling area.

The warm treatment is the equivalent of the tech-

nique used by the warm platen press but the operating

properties of the friction press - such as a minimised need

of sanding on panels and its suitability as an inline ma-

chine in the continuous panel process line - still exist.

Gluing is performed by the Innova patented gluing

applicator, which allows a gluing speed of 300m per min-

ute. The press can also be equipped with a comb or

sprayer gluing applicator. The press settings are very sim-

ple to set thanks to the high automation level.

SMARTPRESS

Pinomatic SMARTPRESS is designed for small and me-

dium size production series. The quality of edge-glued

panels is still completely equal to that of panels, which

have been made with our high efficiency presses.

SMARTPRESS is a continuously working friction press

which is equipped with a hot plate construction. It is suit-

able for both hardwood and softwood. Due to the heat-

ing process, a good glue joint is achieved in as little as

three minutes during the through-feed time.

Almost 100 edge gluing presses have been delivered

all over the world.

Edge glued panel productionEdge glued panel production

Pinomatic has delivered many production line solutions

and has experience of over 100 successful projects in the

different phases of door production. As result, customers

have more competitive and profitable production due to

increased production capacity, which results from the

elimination of production bottlenecks on existing pro-

duction lines and by improved work ergonomics.

For door nishing and painting lines, we deliver high

capacity automatic lines, of which the latest develop-

ment version is equipped with robots. The doors make

two cycles on the line so that both sides of the doors are

painted, and the robots also turn the doors. The door

stacks moves automatically.

We offer complete deliveries for door equipping and

packaging lines. The line offers excellent working ergo-

nomics since the doors are not manually lifted or pro-

cessed in any stage. In a line-type production the manu-

facturing is also systematically smooth and efficient.

For the window industry we deliver machining lines,

where the woodworking machines are linked into one

unit. Our deliveries have ranged from smaller lines up to

mass production lines with the length of over 400 metres.

We provide solutions for the mechanisation of both

sash and frame lines, as well as for the other targets in the

window production, up to packaging.

Pinomatic has many production line solutions tailored for

the pallet industry. Pinomatic stackers and de-stackers can

be used both for infeeding components into the pallet ma-

chines and for stacking ready-made pallets.

We have developed special grippers for our stackers

and de-stackers that are particularly suitable for the needs

of the pallet industry. These grippers work reliably for

even wane timber, as well as for stacks where the surface

layer is not even. For a mechanical gripper, sawdust and

resin also do not cause problems. We have infeed solu-

tions for direct feeding to pallet machine cassettes.

Pinomatic has also developed a camera system that de-

tects the wane side of the boards and turns them so that

boards are infed to cassettes in the right position.
