Construction and application of the machine

The SMPA 500 automated nailing machine represents a modern construction designed as robust hydraulic equipment for the nailing of various types of wooden palettes.

It is a suitable solution for anywhere where it is necessary to perform high-quality nailing with high productivity of work and high precision of the diagram of nail joints. According to its design and price it is used by medium-sized operating units with a production output of approximately 500 – 550 pieces per shift by two employees.

Work safety

The machine fulfils strict requirements for safety resulting from European standards.

System of working on the machine

The machine uses the system of nailing a ready palette and the preparation of legs on the standard table.

1. Cubes and lower boards of the lower part of the palette are placed into the working position in the left part of the table (legs).
2. The lower parts of the palette (legs) are placed into the working position on the right part of the machine on which the operator places the ledger and the horizontal boards of the ready palette.
3. After placement, the operator confirms the automatic step of nailing and the machine performs the respective number of nailing beats.
4. After the nailing cycle, the ready palette remains in the output part of the machine and the pre-prepared lower parts of the palette (legs) are returned to the starting position.
5. The whole cycle is repeated for subsequent operations.
6. The ready palette is taken from the output part of the machine manually by the operator or the palette can pass onto the further processing operation of the palettes.

Technical description of the palette

• the machine enables the nailing of various types of palettes
• maximum dimension of palette 1350×1500mm
• minimum dimension of palette 700×700mm
• template delivered in the standard (universal, adjustable)
• the machine works with all freely available loose nails (l=27–90mm), including EPAL nails
• standard variant of 26 pieces of nailing units in a row (option for up to 44 pieces of nailing units in a row)
• minimum span of nails 25mm

Assembly of the machine into the processing line of SMOP palettes

The recommended option is to assemble the SMPA 500 machine into the complete processing line of SMOP palettes. The SMOP machine enables the marking, cutting of corners, milling and stacking of palettes.
