  • a control box 110 is disposed below the belt conveyor 108 for transferring works from the press into the stacker 100.
  • the control box 110 has a control panel on the surface thereof, and a controller 111 disposed therein as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the controller 111 controls operation of the stacker by driving solenoid valves 113,114 and 115 based on the output signals of the respective sensors.
  • the work sensor 103 detects that a work is being carried to the roller conveyor 1, it outputs a start signal to the controller 111.
  • the work sensor 103 detects completion of the work carry-in operation at the conveyor 1, it outputs an end signal to the controller 111.
  • the load sensor 106 When the load sensor 106 detects that the height of the works stacked on the tray 105 has not reached yet a predetermined level, it outputs a signal to that effect (space-left signal) to the controller 111. When the load sensor 106 detects that the height of the works stacked on the tray 105 has reached the predetermined level, it outputs a signal to that effect (space-full signal) to the controller 111.
  • the controller 111 drives the motor 11 via a motor driver 112. At the same time, the controller 111 also operates the solenoid valve 113 so as to supply air to one chamber of the pneumatic cylinder 10 and evacuate air from the other chamber thereof, whereby the cylinder 10 is pushed out.
  • the controller 111 Upon receipt of the end signal, the controller 111 changes over the solenoid valve 113 so as to evacuate air from one chamber of the pneumatic cylinder 10 and supply air to the other chamber thereof, whereby the pneumatic cylinder 10 is retracted. At the same time, the controller 11 also operates the solenoid valve 114 so as to supply air to one chamber of the table driving cylinder 104 and evacuate air from the other chamber thereof, whereby the rod of the table driving cylinder 104 is pushed out. Immediately after completion of this operation, the controller 111 changes over the solenoid valve 114 to assume its original posture so as to retract the rod of the cylinder 104.
  • the controller 111 controls the solenoid valve 115 based on the space-not-full signal from the load sensor 106 so as to supply air to one chamber of the tray supporting cylinder 107 and evacuate air from the other chamber thereof, whereby the rod of the tray supporting cylinder 107 is pushed out.
  • the controller 111 Upon receipt of the space-full signal from the load sensor 106, the controller 111 maintains the solenoid valve 115 in the state and allows the tray supporting cylinder 107 to keep this position.
  • a work is first carried to the stacker 100 by the belt conveyor 108 and then carried into the main body 101 of the stacker 100.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 10 is extended to push down the roller conveyor 1, whereby the roller conveyor 1 is pivoted down on the bracket 17.
  • the motor 11 is driven to rotate the rolls 3, whereby the work is carried to the predetermined position by the cooperation of the rolls 3 and slide table 102.
  • the table driving cylinder 104 is actuated to move the slide table 102 to the retracted position, whereby the work drops to the tray 105 and stacked thereon.
  • the motor 11 is stopped in synchronization with the retraction of the slide table 102 to lift the roller conveyor 1 by the retraction of the cylinder 10 and assume a stand-by posture.
  • the slide table 102 quickly returns to the original position after dropping of the work.
  • the piston rod of the tray supporting cylinder 107 is retracted to move down the tray 105 little by little.
  • the work is carried into the stacker 100 by the roller conveyor 1 in the above embodiment, the work is designed to be brought into contact with the lower portion of each roll 3, in contrast with the conventional belt conveyor where the upper surface of the work is brought into contact with the entire surface of the belt. Accordingly, the contact area of the work with the roller conveyor 1 in this embodiment is very smaller than in the conventional conveyor, so that it never happens that the works are prevented from being released from the roller conveyor 1 by the static electricity exerted therebetween.
  • the contact area with the work in each roll 3 of the roller conveyor 1 is designed to be reduced by constituting each roll 3 with three rollers 3a, so that the effect described above can be exhibited more remarkably.
  • timing belts 2 Since two timing belts 2 are extended over the respective rows of toothed pulleys 4 interposed between the rollers 3a, the tension of the timing belts 2 can be applied evenly over the depth of the roller conveyor 1. Thus, the noise generated by the interference between the metal parts of the rollers 3a and the toothed pulleys 4 or abrasion of these parts and member can be prevented.
  • the tension applied to the timing belts 2 can be adjusted. Accordingly, since the tension applied by the timing belts 2 to the rolls 3 can in turn be adjusted, the force applied to the work can be adjusted so as to comply with the kind of cloth.
  • the respective cylinders are designed to be driven by the controller 111 in response to the conditions sensed by the respective sensors.
  • This control covers the entire process from the introduction of the works to the stacking thereof onto the tray 105. Thus minimal manual operation is required and the stacking operation can be facilitated.
