When production speed increases, precision becomes the key to quality. At Pennekamp, our 4-Axis Servo Stacker LS 800 FAST 25Z has been engineered for glass manufacturers who demand maximum productivity without compromising ware stability or quality. Unlike conventional stackers, the four independently controlled servo axes provide complete control over every movement, enabling exceptionally smooth bottle handling on production lines running at up to 800 bottles per minute and achieving up to 25 stacking cycles per minute.
Why does the 4-axis concept make the difference?
- Independent motion control Each servo axis is dedicated to a specific movement, allowing optimized forward, lateral, compensation and lifting motions for every production requirement.
- Superior ware stability The additional compensation axis minimizes unwanted bottle movement, making it ideal for lightweight, tall or unstable containers.
- Maximum repeatability Highly accurate servo positioning ensures identical stacking cycles, reducing defects and improving process consistency.
- Optimized cycle time The fourth servo axis independently lifts the stacker bar during the return stroke using only the required height, maximizing the available time for the critical forward movement and increasing overall efficiency.
- Outstanding throughput Designed to handle up to 25 stacking cycles per minute, the LS 800 FAST delivers exceptional productivity while maintaining precise and reliable bottle transfer.
- Designed for the highest-capacity IS machines Capable of operating on production lines of up to 800 BPM, making it an ideal solution for modern, high-output glass manufacturing.
- Compact Design With an installation area of only approximately 850 × 850 mm, the LS 800 FAST fits where conventional high-speed stackers often cannot, making it ideal for space-constrained installations.
