The 20L sheet metal vertical lift system is an automated storage and retrieval system that utilizes an elevator to climb the the front of the tower to deposit and retrieve pallet weighing up to 1T,1.5T or 2T and deliver them directly to the ground level for further processing, increasing material storage and improving production flow. Further, integrating storage and processing can eliminate costly retrieval steps, increase production machinery uptime and reduce associated labour.
Handling
20L automatic vertical storage system for metal sheets is important for a metalworking manufacturer and the way to handle the machine is as below:
Call empty pallet from tower to go onto the loading table.
The lift will lower the pallet onto the table allowing the pins on the table to go through the open spaces of the pallet.
With the lift fully lowered, the loading cart pins will protrude 5” above the surface of the pallet. Now the sheets can be lowered onto the pins with a forklift or overhead crane.
The lift raises the pallet, lifting the sheets from the pins, and continuous to raise the pallet and sheets to place them in the tower at the designated position.
Features
While choosing an automated vertical storage system, the most essential reason is for saving the space and increase health & safety. Automated Sheet Storage Systems can greatly increase workplace safety by providing a secure and controlled delivery method for heavy pallets of sheet stored overhead. The reduction in forklift presence required due to integration within warehouse automation processes greatly reduces the potential for accidents.
