Sheet metal storage and retrieval
June 1st 2007 Sheet metal machining
facilities and distributors are
increasingly investing in
automated storage and
retrieval to streamline stock
control and material flow
through the operation.
Aimed at this market is
Kasto's new UNILINE single
or double-sided system with
200 to 800 storage locations
for single-deep storage of
sheet. Smaller and larger
sheet metal storage systems
are available from the
company's UNITOWER and
UNICOMPACT ranges.
The UNILINE pallets have a
usable load of three tonnes,
although five tonnes or more
is possible on request. The
rigid gantry crane is designed
as a double mast unit with
the handling equipment
moving up and down
between the masts. Lift
movement takes place via
two robust roller chains.
Precision roller chains with
follower pins move the pallet
into and out of the storage
locations on plastic glides. More articles from KASTO Ltd: |
