3. Complete Manufacturing Process Flow of Auto Stacker
Figure 2: Roof sheet stacker workshop — robust structure and attention to detail on manufacturing floor.
Step-by-step Process Flow:
Raw Material Selection→ High-strength carbon steel, stainless steel, with specific anti-corrosive treatments meeting ISO 16163 and ASTM A36 standards.
Cutting & Pre-processing→ Sheets are precision-cut by CNC laser/plasma cutters (±0.02mm tolerance).
Main Frame Fabrication→ Heavy-duty welding and CNC machining for tolerances and flatness using coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
**Sheet Size Adaptation:** Lengths up to 12,000mm, width up to 1500mm, thickness up to 3mm.
**Integrated Automation:** Options for robot-assisted dedusting, barcode labeling, and end-of-line packaging.
**Special Profiles:** Seamless stacking for trapezoidal, sinusoidal, or custom sheet geometries.
**Climate Control:** Special coatings for marine, coastal, or extreme temperature applications.
**Data Integration:** MES/ERP system compatibility for factory-level production analytics.
**Service Add-ons:** Onsite installation, operator training, and predictive remote support packages (IoT-based).
**Material Optimization:** Stacker configuration for composite coated sheets, PVDF, galvalume, and polycarbonate panels.
