AS/RS increases speed of die handling.

Automatic Storage and Retrieval System utilizes heavily braided wire rope, which is capable of lifting large dies weighing up to 80,000 lb or more, twice as fast as ball-screw driven elevating carts. Coil stock and/or stacks of blanks can be stored and retrieved. Automatic die-weighing mechanisms ensure dies do not exceed capacity of slot or overall system. Storing dies in accessible multi-tier...

Sheet Metal Equipment destacks, feeds, conveys and washes.

Sheet metal blank destacking systems keep steady flow of blanks fed to press. Destackers separate blanks, raise them with overhead vacuum cups to magnetic-roller conveyor or magnetic-belt conveyor, and convey them forward to gage station for pick up by press-feeding equipment. Lift tables maintain blanks at consistent height as stack is depleted. Other equipment includes conveyors, turnovers,...
