34 Extrusion International 3/2024 PROFILE EXTRUSION iQ STACK – Greater Efficiency Thanks to Automated Profile Handling In the fast-moving world of industrial development, innovation is more important than ever – while Exelliq's iQ STACK is set to revolutionize profile extrusion: the elegant and ultramodern stacking system integrates seamlessly into existing extrusion lines and paves the way towards fully automated production process. B ut what makes the iQ STACK so unique? With the iQ STACK, an automated stacking unit is positioned directly at the end of the extrusion line. This allows the profile bars to be automatically picked up after they have been cut to length and placed in the profile rack accord - ing to a desired stacking pattern. This innovative solution offers a number of advantages - from the independence fromscarce personnel at the endof the line to the smooth transition from production directly into the warehouse. The focus is always on increasing added value. The vision behind it With its unique combination of precision, efficiency and versatility, the iQ STACK sets new standards in pro - file handling and opens up unexpected possibilities for companies to optimize their production processes. The iQ STACK is more than just a stacking system - it is the result of Exelliq's long-standing commitment to innova- tion and perfection in profile extrusion. With the aim of maximizing the efficiency of the extrusion process, the iQ STACK has been developed to open a new era of au - tomation. Profile handling made easy: automation and digitalization. In the dawning age of digitalization, the iQ STACK is a living example of the fusion of extrusion process and automation. Being available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offers unrivalled reliability and maximum efficien - cy in production. The iQ STACK is an advanced solution and creates a solid foundation for future automation Exelliq's iQ STACK paves the way towards a fully automated extrusion line. The turning unit rotates the profile bar into the desired position as needed (up to 180° depending on the stacking pattern)
