ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for lifting, separating and transporting a top panel from a stack of panels through the application sequential suction forces. The apparatus and method uses a vacuum conveying system wherein a sequence of suction forces is exerted from one or more suction apertures. A lift bed located beneath the vacuum conveying system, supports a stack of panels, and can be vertically elevated, causing a top panel from the stack of panels to move within sufficient distance of the vacuum conveying system to allow the sequence of suction forces to lift and separate the top panel. Once the top panel is engaged with the conveyor, the conveyor transports the top panel to a designated location.
