The new SYSTRAPLAN rack serve carrier can easily be operated and is nevertheless efficient. If compared to area storage, performance is improved thanks to faster access to the individual types of boards on the rack.
Direct Access in the Warehouse
Restacking usually has to be done in area storages with piles up to 2 meters, in order to access the boards, and it requires much time and energy. This job can be dispensed with now. With low piles, the rack serve carrier directly withdraws the board material. This way, a large variety of different types of boards can be taken from the rack, without having to restack them.
To remove them from stock, the individual boards are fed safely and directly to the panel saw by a vacuum system which is extended via telescopes to both sides.
Direct Connection to a Panel Saw
With this type of storage system, it is part of standard technology today to directly link the system to panel saws.
Panel saws from many different manufacturers have been employed in a large number of projects.
Newly Developed Rack Serve Carrier
To customers and competitors, SYSTRAPLAN stands for solidity, reliability and commitment.
The key element of the new concept is a rack serve carrier newly developed for the lower price segment. You will see at first glance that it is entirely different from the known conventional rack serve carriers, at least under design aspects.
Many decades of experience in making rack serve carriers helped our designers develop the new product. Our demands for quality, functionality and durability remain unchanged with the concept presented.
Gentle Handling
One of the major benefits is handling of the wood material without causing any damage to it. Within a short period of time, the delicate boards are prepared for processing in an appropriate way. While doing this, the automatic rack serve carrier works continuously.
Commissioning Right at the Rack Serve Carrier
The individual boards are commissioned right at the rack serve carrier. For this purpose, a platform was included into the basic frame. Therefore, no particular area is required for commissioning.
Utilizing Warehouse Height
Even if the store is only 4 meters high, the high bay storage system is able to compete with area storage. Assuming homogenous floor utilization of 200 m2, i.e. approx. 30 meters length and close to 7 meters width, this roughly means up to 80 stock sites. A corresponding area store will only up to approx. 25 stock sites. Benefits from high bay storage increase as the stock gets higher, enabling the manufacturer to handle the grown variety of products.
Directly Storing the Piles
In order to store entire piles, the rack serve carrier can, from the outside, place them on the floor level of the system rack. The device can then access these piles from inside by means of its vacuum system. With several stock sites, distributed over the exterior of the rack, the user can thus store the piled boards quickly and directly.
Warehouse Lay-out Customized to Customer Needs
While offering a large variety of options, the system is expandable and can be adapted to the individual customer’s situation in terms of performance and space. If desired, it is even possible to for the rack serve carrier to handle the entire pile.
Warehouse Management by Siemens S7
The warehouse is managed by a specially developed software based on SPS, and is operated from the Siemens operating panel.
The Siemens operating panel includes a large display with a plastic foil keyboards. The user can plug in an external keyboard and mouse, which provides for good operability.
Moreover, the customer can choose a PC-controlled warehouse management system, enabling him to establish a connection to superior control units.
SYSTRAPLAN is presenting its products at the LIGNA trade show, hall 26, booth A57, held in Hanover from May 18 to 22.
