VITA pallet stacker

Produce without operators and increase the utilization of the CNC machine by up to tens of percent.

The VITA modular pallet stacker automates pallet stacking and enables efficient unattended operation – night shifts, weekends and flexible piece production without the need for additional operators.

• Unattended operation
• Modular expandability
• Integration with existing CNC machines
• Own control system
• Made in the Czech Republic / service v-tech

Automation that grows with your production

The VITA stacker is not a single-purpose device, but a modular system consisting of unified modules. The configuration can be adapted to the type of CNC machine, the production space, the required magazine capacity and the degree of automation.

Points:

• Side loading without restrictions on access to the machine,
• Linear movement of the robot along the track,
• Expandable magazine capacity,
• Suitable for manual, automated and combined operation,
• Uniform control of the entire workplace.

Why VITA?

Higher utilization of CNC machines
Limited downtime when replacing parts and the possibility of machining outside working hours.
Modular architecture
The system can be gradually expanded according to production growth - from basic configuration to large automated workplaces.
Openness to various technologies
Possibility of integration with various types of CNC machines, robots, clamping systems and peripherals.
Own mechanics + own software

What will VITA bring you?

More hours of unattended machining
Automatic pallet change enables efficient production even during night shifts, weekends or after working hours.

• Less dependence on operator shortages
• Shorter non-productive times
• Higher utilization of CNC machines
• Modular expandability
• Higher production flexibility

The software enables:

• production queue management,
• pallet handling management,
• pallet - order - NC program linkage,
• overview of order and pallet order,
• production planning outside the CNC machine,
• reducing the risk of pallet or program mix-ups.

The VITA stacker is ready to work with the CNC Sensor monitoring system from v-tech s.r.o.

This combination connects the automation of handling with real production data of the CNC machine.
The connection allows:

• to monitor the use of the CNC machine in automated mode,
• to evaluate the share of unattended production,
• to analyze downtime related to production preparation and handling,
• to obtain objective data on the benefits of automation.

The result is a transparent overview of the real efficiency of automated operation.

Higher machine utilization and less dependence on operators

The use of the VITA stacker brings measurable economic benefits, especially where there is a need to increase CNC machine utilization, stabilize production and reduce direct operator demands.

Main benefits:

• increased CNC machine utilization,
• possibility of unattended operation,
• reduced operator costs,
• better utilization of production capacities,
• postponement of investment in another CNC machine.

Pallets designed for safe automated handling

The system uses interchangeable pallets that can be supplemented with different types of clamping elements depending on the order and the nature of the production. The pallets are designed to fit precisely into the containers and be safely manipulated by the robot.

Advantages:

• physical and digital matching of the pallet,
• reducing the risk of confusion,
• possibility of adaptation according to the type of part,
• suitable for single-piece and small-batch production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is VITA also suitable for piece production?

Yes. VITA is designed not only for series production, but also for piece and small-batch production. It allows flexible switching of different parts and prepared pallets according to current production requirements.

Can the system be expanded later?

Yes. Thanks to the modular architecture, the system can be gradually expanded with additional magazines, workstations or safety elements according to growing production needs.

Is it possible to integrate your own clamping system?

Yes. VITA allows the integration of various types of clamping systems, including v-tech's own solution - ZEPO-v, but also other customer systems.

What CNC machines do you support?

The system can be adapted to a wide range of CNC machine tools and control systems. Integration is possible according to the specific type of machine, automation readiness and customer requirements.

Can the system be adapted to a specific production?

Yes. Each workplace has different requirements for capacity, type of parts or method of handling. VITA is designed as a modular solution that can be configured according to the specific application.

Is it possible to operate VITA without an operator?

Yes. The system is designed for automatic operation and allows for efficient use of the machine outside normal working hours, for example during night shifts or weekends.

How is the system implemented?

The implementation includes configuration design, mechanical and software integration, commissioning and operator training so that the system brings the desired production effect as quickly as possible.
