Sheet Rack System
Metal Sheet Tower
The tower with a selectable floor plan and height, consists of a very robust welded structure, adapted on the inside for vertical storage of individual handling units. The containers of the handling units are of welded construction, dimensioned according to typical transport formats and weights of steel plate. The extractor, which is part of the lifting manipulator, moves the handling unit horizontally from/to the storage position in the tower, while the lifting manipulator moves the unit vertically from/to the transfer position. The design of the (mobile) dispensing table at the transfer point provides a "lift" of the material on the container, allowing whole bundles of boards to be transferred using a forklift truck. The handling of individual boards is usually carried out by a suction vacuum manipulator or
magnet. For multi-tower systems, the transfer point can be designed as front, rear and/or side (depending on the tower design options).
