Empty pallet checking system

The empty pallet checking system (LPK) developed by KÖHL ensures that only defect-free pallets enter the material flow of palletizing and transport systems, high-bay warehouses and storage and retrieval machines (SRMs). The modular system comprises several inspection stations that check the pallets for dimensional accuracy and stability. The pallets are cleaned, their geometry and fork clearance are checked, stability and deflection are measured and the nail joints are checked. The pallet level is also equalized. Intact pallets are sorted according to defined quality criteria and stacked in the pallet magazine. The system uses modern control and visualization technology, which informs the operator about the test results at all times.
