ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a frame for receiving a pallet therein. A supporting member is operatively connected to the frame so as to be horizontally slidable in a fore-and-aft direction with respect to the frame. The supporting member is positioned at a level which is higher than the plates which are generally vertically stood on the pallet. A plurality of vertical elongate members are secured to the supporting member so as to be horizontally slidable along a major surface of the supporting member in a lateral direction. Each elongate member is vertically telescopic and has a axially extending opening formed therein in which the spacer can be received. A pair of rollers are rotatably mounted on a top of each elongate member for guiding the spacer into the opening and lowering the spacer to a first position adjacent a major surface of a first plate which is generally vertically stood on the pallet. A robotic arm places a second plate on the pallet and moves the second plate to a second position with respect to the first plate wherein the spacer is sandwiched between the first and second plates. A cutting device is secured to a lower end of each elongate member for cutting the spacer.
