Handling and Automatization
Wood industry automation for pallet and crate — robotic feeders, stackers, gantries and full-line integration. Global Wood Machines partners with Joutech, an official KUKA system partner with more than 250 robots installed, to deliver automation that pays back in labour savings and predictable throughput.
What we automate (among many other systems)
Top-deck, boards and every component for pallet feeding — Cartesian or robotic-arm designs
Output stacking — robotic arms with format detection
Stringer notcher integration — full automation from raw stringer to outcome stackerCrate stitcher line feeding — 5,000+ pieces/hour sheet feeders
Plywood board cutting feeders — Cartesian feed and robotic stacking
Pallet shower station robotics — ISPM-15 ready chemical treatment cells
Why KUKA-based automation
We build on KUKA because it is the platform that has been the global industrial standard for 30+ years. Original spare parts are available worldwide, programming flexibility allows format changes via recipe rather than re-tooling, and integration with existing PLC systems.
Cells are engineered around your existing line and grow incrementally — start with a single robotic cell, prove the concept, then extend automation to the next bottleneck. Worldwide installation, commissioning and operator training included.
Automatic pallet chemical shower station
Pallet chemical shower station with fully automated feeding, wringer and stacking via robotic arms, featuring a programmed tilt pause to effectively drain excess product from the pallet.
Automatic Pallet Stringer Notching Machine +4000 Pieces/hour
The pallet stringer notching machine features a fully automated feeding, advancing, and stacking system, ensuring a high-speed output of 4,000 pieces per hour with maximum efficiency and precision.
Feeder and Stacker Robotic Arm for Molder Machine
The robotic arm feed the Molder Machine, at the same time, it is used to perform stacking maneuvers, saving on the implementation of automatic handling systems.
Nails Protruding Detector for Pallets Nailer lines
For Pallets Nailing lines, we design a device to detect protruding or bent nails resulting from defects in the nailing process. System easy to install on any brand of pallet line with bulk nails.
Pallet Top Deck Feeder For Pallet Nailer Lines
We offer solutions adapted to each client. The preferred solutions for this type of feeding are based on cartesian or robotic arm systems.
Saw Disc Optimizer – Cross-cutting Station with Automatic Feeding and Stacking
Saw Disc optimizer for cross cutting of boards or tables with automatic cartesian feeding, size separation and stacking automation carried out by robotic arm. This is a top-of-the-range system that integrates feeding, size separation and stacking automation, allowing smooth operation and maximizing the use of each board.
