| 摘要 | A pallet 12 includes a number of runners 14 which may be sandwiched between upper and lower face sheets of corrugated paperboard. One system for manufacturing a pallet according to this invention includes a runner 14 holding station adapted to receive a supply of runners. A conveyor is used to transfer selected runners 14 from the runner holding station toward an assembly station 50. The assembly station 50 receives an upper deck sheet 16 and a lower deck sheet 18 and the selected runners 14 from the conveyor and assembles them into a pallet 12. A gluing station 80 applies an adhesive to each of the deck sheets 16, 18 prior to assembly with the selected runners 14 at the assembly station 50. A stacking station receives each of the assembled pallets 12 and forms a stack of pallets with each newly added pallet being added to a bottom of the stack such that the weight of the stack is supported by the newly added pallet to set the adhesive joining the deck sheet and the selected runners of the newly added pallet together. The up-stacking capability of the stacking station offers convenience and efficiency to the manufacturing process by collecting the assembled pallets 12 for shipping or use while utilizing the weight of the stack of pallets to set the glue which joins the runners 14 to the individual deck sheets 16, 18 of each pallet 12 in the stack. | ||||||
