MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421099330 A) filed by Alligator Automations India Private Limited on December 16, 2024, for Automatic Pallet Alignment System And Method Employed Thereof.
Inventor includes Naveen Kumar Suggala.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an automatic pallet alignment system for the precise handling and positioning of pallet stacks. The system includes a conveyor belt positioned alongside support columns on both sides of the pallet stack, each equipped with alignment rollers that engage pallet edges for lateral alignment. Stability during alignment is provided by rods extending into pallet cutouts, controlled by half-stroke first set of pneumatic cylinders. A chain-driven mechanism operated by electric motors lifts and separates each pallet, creating controlled gaps for non-contact alignment. After gaps are created, the first set of pneumatic cylinders fully insert rods, stabilizing pallets for accurate alignment. The control unit first aligns pallets perpendicularly to conveyor, then adjusts them to match conveyor’s forward direction for smooth downstream flow. The electric motors then positioning stack, eliminating gaps for structural integrity, and rods retract to prepare the stack for seamless downstream processing. FIG. 1A & 1B.
