IMH Kombiline ST X1600 production line

The diagram shows an integrated pallet production line, where individual machines are responsible for successive stages of the process. The system includes an optimising saw for cutting pallet blocks, a pallet leg production machine, and a machine for producing top decks and complete stringer pallets. The entire system is complemented by an assembly machine supported by an industrial robot for transferring top decks and legs to the assembly machine. Behind the assembly machine, there is a chain conveyor and a pallet turner, followed by a stacker and a chain outfeed conveyor for finished stacks.

Line modules

We build the line from modules chosen to suit the requirements of your plant.

01

Production of pallet bottoms

Fully automatic production of pallet legs, integrated with a precision optimising saw for cutting blocks.

  • Integrated optimising saw for cutting pallet blocks
  • Sawdust block feeder with a 6-axis or portal robot
  • Two capacity versions: up to 12 or 18 pallet bottoms/min
  • High repeatability and low material consumption
02

Deck production

Top deck nailing machine for 3-5 boards or squared timbers, also handles top decks with wings and connecting the leg with the top deck.

  • Produces top decks on 3-5 boards or squared timbers, including with wings
  • Two capacity versions: 25 or 35 nailing cycles/min
  • Possibility of connecting the leg with the top deck into a finished pallet
  • Optional gantry robot for feeding boards
03

Pallet assembly

The automatic machine connects top decks with legs into a complete pallet, with optional wings and its own hydraulic unit.

  • Nails pallets onto two to five legs
  • Programmable size of the so-called wings
  • Own hydraulic unit also powering other machines
  • Quick changeover for small batch production
04

Transfer robot

Multi-purpose industrial robot automating the transfer of top decks and legs to the assembly machine.

  • Specialised gripper handling hundreds of pallet types and components
  • Replaces the work of at least two operators
  • Increases output and reduces fixed costs
  • Fully integrated with the rest of the line
05

Chain conveyor with pallet turning robot

Moves and rotates the pallet or deck between machines, enabling nesting.

  • Grips the product simultaneously from both sides
  • 180° rotation performed pneumatically
  • Arm rotation controlled electrically
  • Own PLC controller independent of the rest of the line
06

Pallet stacking

Automatic stacking of top decks or finished 4-way pallets - fast, repeatable, and safe.

  • Standard stacking (one on top of another) or nested (one inside another)
  • Space saving in transport and storage
  • Modular design - can be extended with leg stacking
  • Compact solution for large and smaller lines
07

Additional options

The line is typically operated by an operator - full robotisation is available for companies seeking maximum automation.

  • Standard: operator feeds material and adjusts the line
  • Option: full automation of machine parameter adjustment
  • Industrial robots for material feeding and transport between modules
  • Automatic nail hopper replenishment
