PACK EXPO - Intelligrated introduces enhanced Alvey 890 series palletizers at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015
New 890i and 891i models offer enhancements for easier maintenance and operation, improved performance and safety
(LAS VEGAS: Sept. 28, 2015)—Intelligrated® (www.intelligrated.com), a leading North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, announces the launch of two enhanced palletizer models, the Alvey® 890i and 891i. The upgrades include technological advancements that make the machines easier to operate and maintain, improve safety and offer options to increase capacity.
The new models provide exceptional flexibility and versatility in a smaller footprint with the ability to handle a wider array of package types and intricate stacking patterns. Operators can create new load configurations through a 10-inch color touch-screen interface while capitalizing on standard features like automatic layer-centering compression dams and package stops that can be relocated or installed in minutes.
The primary difference between the 890i and 891i models is palletizing capacity. The 891i features a level, non-pitched layer accumulation table as a buffering mechanism to enable a throughput rate in excess of 60 cases per minute, while the 890i achieves a nominal rate of up to 45 cases per minute. Servo technology is available to further increase capacity or facilitate automatic changeover.
Maintenance-focused enhancements to the Alvey 890 series include semitransparent covers for excellent visibility during operation. Covers and guards are easy to handle and remove for quick access to components that may require adjustment or replacement through the system lifecycle. The updated design also prioritizes safety with an automatic air dump to avoid trapped energy, standard high-voltage arc flash protection, remote power disconnect, interlocked access gates, taller safety fences and a muted light curtain system for pallet discharge.
"The Alvey 890 series family of palletizers offer updated designs and premium components that combine to provide a level of palletizing refinement never before seen in our industry," says Frank Pellegrino, vice president, machine products. "We listened to our customers to develop enhancements that address their needs as we continue our commitment to provide the most reliable palletizers on the market."
Intelligrated Lifecycle Support Services backs each system with a variety of proactive services designed to maximize asset performance throughout its useful life, including modifications and upgrades, training and maintenance programs, and 24X7 technical support.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances
IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
