Abstract: A pallet stacking assembly line having at least two pick-and-place robots are used. The first robot has a relatively low position. The second robot is in an elevated position. A pallet dispenser dispenses a first pallet onto a pallet conveyor The pallet conveyor moves the first pallet to a first build position in front of the first robot. The first robot picks products from a first pick position and stacks them on the first pallet. Once the stack of products on the first pallet reach approximately half the finished stack height, the pallet conveyor carries the first pallet to a second build position in front of the second robot. At the same time, the pallet dispenser dispenses a second pallet which is carried to the first build position. The second robot picks products from a second pick position and places them on the upper portion of the stack on the first pallet to complete the stack. Meanwhile, the first robot is picking and placing products on the lower portion of the second pallet. The process continues indexing, with both robots ideally being busy all the time. Each robot builds half the stack on the pallet,

Abstract: A process for hydro-entangling a layer of fibers into a web includes the steps of conveying a web from a supply to lie against a traveling hydro-entangling fabric. A layer of fibers is deposited onto a traveling forming fabric, the forming fabric supporting the fiber layer from below. The forming fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric converge at a combining location where the forming fabric and hydro-entangling fabric orient and travel adjacent each other such that the fiber layer and web are sandwiched between the forming fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric with the fiber layer supported from below by the hydro-entangling fabric and web. The forming fabric is separated from the fiber layer after the web and overlying fiber layer are supported from below by the hydro-entangling fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric is conveyed through a hydro-entangling station to hydro-entangle the fibers into the web.

Abstract translation: 用于将纤维层水解缠绕到网中的方法包括以下步骤：将纤维网从供应部分输送到与行进的水力缠结织物相对的位置。 将一层纤维沉积在行进的成形织物上，成形织物从下面支撑纤维层。 成形织物和加氢缠结织物在组合位置汇聚，其中成形织物和水缠结织物相互定向和相互移动，使得纤维层和纤维网被夹在成形织物和水缠结织物之间， 纤维层由水缠结织物和纤维网从下面支撑。 在纤维网和上覆纤维层由水力缠结织物从下方支撑之后，成形织物与纤维层分离，并且水力缠结织物通过水力缠结工位输送以将纤维加氢缠绕在纤维网中。
