Atlas Technologies receives order to build destack feeder

Fenton, Mich.-based Atlas Technologies has been commissioned to design and build a front of line automatic destack feeder for Thai Summit America, a Tier 1 automotive supplier. The feeder is configured to pair with an existing Atlas Flex in-press transfer system located at the Bardstown, Ky., facility. Installation is planned for Q3 2018.

The destack feeder is designed to provide continuous flow of steel or aluminum blanks to the press. It is equipped with conveyors, a lift table, and a continuous destacking carriage, allowing Thai Summit to improve production rates without a pause in press actuation. Fanner technology is incorporated to process multiple materials.
