No. of layers:
This field displays the actual if layers that will be stacked. The actual quantity of
layers that will be stacked must be at or below the maximum quantity of layers to be
stacked.
Picks/layer (Product per layer):
This is the amount of products per layer required in the pattern. OXPA-QmII has
more than 2,000 patterns stored in memory to choose from and this number
narrows the search to the amount entered and less. Enter the number required in
the pattern. The default is the maximum quantity of carton boxes that will fit within
the current parameters. When you enter the number of Picks/layer, the screen
displays equal or less picks/layer patterns only.
Stck Height:
In situations where the stacking height varies for each layer due to the product, the
"actual height" field is used to compensate. The height a completed load is measured
and this value is entered. OXPA-QmII calculates the required height decrement using
the actual height of the load and the single product height entered. This decrement
value is not used with cases.
Note Actual height (Height Decrement)
Some product such as bag of powder, shrink in height during
palletizing. This shrinkage is due to the weight of each additional layer
of product stacked, the air entrapped in the product during
manufacture which escapes later, the fluidity of the product, or the
strength of the packaging material. When you input actual height into
height decrement field OXPA-QmII calculate shrinkage and input to this
program's program parameter. You can input negative and plus value
from OXPA-QmII. It means not only for shrink by pressure but also
extend the height by over lap.
Input data:
Ha: Actual stacking height
H: Product height
L: Stacking layer
