Aluminum Ingot Stacking Machine
This replaces manual stacking at the end of an ingot casting line, which is usually the last job in the plant still done by hand. The aluminum rows are automatically fed into the stacking equipment from the casting conveyor belt, and single-layer aluminum ingots can be stacked sequentially or double-layered aluminum ingots can be stacked in pairs. The stacked aluminum ingots are then weighed and bundled.
1. 6-axis robot arm with 360° swivel — it can place ingots on either side and work in a tight footprint.
2. Handles 7 ingots per pick, so cycle count per tonne stays low.
3. Stacking speed 5–8 layers per minute, matched to continuous casting output.
4. Swivel cycle adjustable from 2.5 to 5.0 seconds, so speed can be tuned to the line rather than fixed.
5. Stack height up to 1650 mm, with the number of layers set on the controller.
6. 4 kW installed power — low running cost for the work it does.
7. CE certified.
Ingots arrive from the casting machine at the pick position. The robot arm lowers its fixture, grips a set of ingots, swivels and places them on the stack. The controller counts layers and, once the set height is reached, indexes to a new stack position. Pallet or stack removal happens without stopping the line.
The fixture is the critical part: effective dimensions 700 mm long × 840 mm opening, lifting 120–200 kg. That determines how many ingots are gripped per pick and how stable the load stays through the swivel. Swivel speed is adjustable from 2.5 to 5.0 seconds per cycle, which is how the machine is matched to casting output.
Stacking stops being the bottleneck and stops being a manual handling task. Ingot stacks are more consistent, which makes strapping and container loading easier downstream.
