Highlights
The ATS-4 Automatic Wood Strip Stacker is designed for automatic unloading, layer forming, stacking, buffering and downstream transfer of long solid wood components. It is suitable for moulding strips, dimensional lumber, timber battens and other linear wood products from automated woodworking production lines. The system uses four stacking lifting bases, including one fixed station and three adjustable stations, allowing the support positions to be adapted to different workpiece lengths. Two customizable working-length configurations are available: 600 to 6000 mm and 3000 to 12000 mm, depending on the production requirements. Wood strip width can be customized from 30 to 400 mm, while thickness can be customized from 20 to 100 mm. Standard stacking speed is approximately 2 to 4 layers per minute, with customized speed configurations available for specific production requirements. Automatic pneumatic spacer-strip placement can insert battens during stacking, while completed stacks can be transferred to roller conveyors, chain conveyors, buffer systems or pallet frames. Electrical, PLC and pneumatic configurations can be customized according to project and regional requirements, including Siemens, Schneider Electric or ABB electrical and control components, with Festo pneumatic components available where specified.

Features
- Four-point stacking support uses one fixed lifting base and three manually adjustable bases, providing stable support for different wood component lengths. The system can be configured for 600~6000 mm or 3000~12000 mm working lengths according to production requirements.
- The approximately 600 mm stacking starting height eliminates the need for a foundation pit and simplifies integration into existing woodworking production lines.
- Four automatic pneumatic spacer-strip installation units can place 35 × 10 mm spacer strips between layers for improved airflow, storage and downstream handling.
- Finished stacks can be transferred directly to roller conveyors, chain conveyors, buffer conveyors or pallet frames, allowing the ATS-4 to integrate into larger automated production systems.
- Electrical, PLC and pneumatic configurations can be adapted to customer requirements. Siemens, Schneider Electric or ABB electrical and control components can be specified, while Festo pneumatic components can be selected for projects requiring international-brand automation hardware.
