Heavytower, a recent addition to the Automha automation line-up, is an automated vertical storage system meticulously designed to ensure the safe storage of long loads, sheet metal, and heavy components. With its compact footprint, Heavytower optimizes your facility’s vertical space, bringing the necessary goods to the ground level for swift and secure retrieval.
Download BrochureHeavytower typically serves as buffer storage near cutting and production machines or as an interim operational warehouse. It’s perfectly suited for holding steel bars and profiles, pipes, heavy accessories, semi-finished products, components, molds, and generally long materials and metal sheets. These systems operate in a dynamic ‘goods-to-operator’ mode, maximizing spatial or vertical utilization and ensuring quick and easy access to a wide assortment of materials, instilling confidence in your operations.
Utilizing a cutting-edge extractor, the elevator moves load units from within the system to a transfer area at an ergonomic height for the operator. The system can accommodate multiple operator areas positioned at the front and sides.
The operator area, or picking bay, is ingeniously designed to enable the handling of heavy material packages with a forklift or the manual (using a crane) or automatic (via a manipulator) selection of individual items for movement to the worktable. Additionally, this area can serve as a weighing point for the material’s load in or out. A touchscreen control system at the operator’s terminal offers manual or automatic storage operation modes, providing high-quality operational and diagnostic information for user convenience.
This vertical storage solution is primed for external communications, allowing for integration with the user’s business management system or connectivity with external devices like cutting or forming machines.
Starting with individual Heavytower units, a controlled multi-warehouse system can be established.
