In this article, we have introduced an automatic storage system with vertical robot for the first time. Here are more insights … To automate the pick-up and delivery process, NEPATA has developed various automatic storage systems for roll media. New is a vertical bearing, it is designed for about 400 to 1.250 rolls.
First customer project in planning
The first customer project is currently being planned. The basis is a steel shelf structure with horizontal spikes on which hang the rollers. A vertical 3-axis robot moves to each of the rolls required for a job. Using a tray gripper, he lifts the roll from the mandrel and places it in a free transfer station directly next to the rewinding machine. The supplied software is fully integrated into the proven NEPATA ConvertPlus control software or, if desired, can be directly linked to the existing ERP system. In addition to the optimization of processes through software and automation, the system is characterized above all by the fact that the rolls are stored in a much more space-saving manner than in shelving racks.
