ROBOTIC INKJET STENCIL SYSTEM
Pre-Tec’s robotic ink jet stencil system lets producers quickly change markings, stripes and text, increasing throughput and debottleneck operations. By eliminating stencils, changeover is rapid and effortless. It features a six-axis FANUC robot with a custom end-of-arm tool featuring a marking head and a spray gun to print logos and product information or apply striping.
ROBOTIC CARDBOARD APPLICATOR SYSTEM
PRE-TEC's Robotic Cardboarder automatically singulates, applies, and secures corrugated cardboard protectors to the sides of 4'X8' Tongue & Groove (T & G) panels of oriented strand board (OSB) 0r plywood. It has been designed for either stand-alone use or to be placed in-line with a PRE-TEC Spray Booth.

Robotic Spray Applications for OEM products is another innovative solution PRE-TEC offers. Automating the spray application of POLYQuik Polyurea products is a perfect solution to shorten the production time required to spray parts and improve quality.
VIEW VIDEOROBOTIC WRAP APPLICATOR
Our Robotic Wrap Applicator was designed for I-Joist Beams or Stacked Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), in order to increase the product output and free up manpower for more value added activities. One version of the system applies protective wrapping and end sealant to I-Joist Beams or Stacked LVL, while another is available for use in lumber mills and OSB operations.
In either case, the wrap required in length, width, and height is calculated on the fly by measuring the load dimensions.
