Automated system lifts productivity August 1st 2008 A Cargo Lift automated
vertical storage and picking
system from Couzens
Storage Solutions is helping
precision turning specialist
Qualiturn Products save
space, raise productivity and
improve stock management.
The 7.5m high unit holds
raw materials to feed
Hertford-based Qualiturn's
18 CNC turning machines,
with up to 500kg of mixed
bar stock to 3m in length, in
each of the Cargo Lift's 65
trays.
Almost all stock is held in
a footprint of just 4 by 4m,
which has freed space for
two more CNC lathes.
Operators access the
Cargo Lift using a biometric
log-in process based on
individual fingerprints. Trays
move up and down at up to
2.3m/sec. More articles from Couzens Storage Solutions: |
