Vertical storage system

automatedwith stacker cranefor the aerospace industry

Overview
Automatic vertical carousel storage system engineered for printing cylinders and similar cylindrical components. Configurable solutions adapt to varied diameters and weights and can be integrated with existing load-handling equipment and inventory systems. A precise specification sheet is required to define holding points and ensure safe handling.

Applications

• Paper cylinders
• Goffering cylinders
• Coating cylinders
• Etching cylinders
• Sleeves
• PMS sleeves
• Anilox
• Other cylindrical printing components

Storage method
The fragile nature of these components requires hanging by ends (tips) or by a designated holding point. Tool-free, intuitive locking simplifies loading operations. Carousels can be adapted to the site layout and existing handling machinery to minimise manual handling.

Options and accessories

• Storage level numbering
• Cell rail
• Full housing
• Removable anti-theft rail
• Fully enclosed rear
• Additional options depending on configuration

Loading / unloading

• Tailored handling solutions: load handling truck
• Stacker
• Mobile truck
• Other handling equipment depending on site layout

Features

• Easy to use: default control is press-and-hold; carousel rotates in both directions
• Safe to operate: ergonomic working height for loading and unloading to reduce operator risk
• Quick access: press-and-hold or enter location code to reach the required item rapidly
• Space optimisation: uses overhead building space efficiently
• Stock management: facilitates faster inventory counts; can integrate with ERP and WMS systems
• Suitable for heavy and bulky products: configurations adapted to each application
