42 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.
