SPRAY APPLICATING PROCESS AND PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY FOR MANUFACTURING A PALLET INCORPORATING ROBOTIC SUBASSEMBLIES UTILIZING ARTICULATING SPRAY ARMS IN COMBINATION WITH PALLET INSERT OR BLANK REVERSING AND TURNING FUNCTIONALITY FOR ROTATING THE INSERT OR CLANK UPON EITHER OF LINEAR OR CAROUSAL TYPE CONVEYORS WITH INLET AND OUTLET LOCATIONS

摘要

A process and assembly for mass producing a plasticized coated and structurally supporting insert including a first conveyor for advancing a plurality of lay-flat inserts and at least one lift and transfer mechanism for transferring the inserts between the first conveyor and a second overhead conveyor. A dual function robot is positioned astride the first conveyor and has a first numerically controlled gripping portion for engaging and raising a selected one of the lay flat supported inserts. The robot further has a second numerically controlled and articulating arm for spray coating a plasticized material upon the insert.
