Willamette Valley Company presents a Robotic Side Protector Application System, designed for automatic placement of sheet protectors to the sides, tops or ends of plywood, OSB and lumber.  The versatility of robotic technology and computerized vision systems allow for easy and flexible accommodation of multiple stack heights, widths and lengths with little or no additional cost to the user.  Accurate and consistent protector application provides a standardized packaging look for overall marketability.  The robotic system addresses mill safety concerns and labor requirements, which in the past have driven up packaging line costs and affected mill liability.  This user-friendly system is easily incorporated into existing packaging lines. It can also be used in conjunction with WVCO finish line Robotic Spray Booths, Automated Self Cleaning Stencil Systems, and End Striper Systems manufactured by  WVCO Precision Technologies, Eugene, OR 800-205-9826.
