AS/RS Components
Designing an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) for an automated warehouse includes these components:
- Storage / Retrieval Machine(S/RM)
- Satellite® or Telescopic Fork load extraction devices
- Savanna.NET Warehouse Management Software (WMS)
- AS/RS Rack System
- Integration with other warehousing and packaging systems such as pallet flow systems, palletizers and conveyors, case packers, etc.
Storage Retrieval Machine (S/RM)
The Storage / Retrieval Machine (S/RM) is designed to cover large horizontal and vertical distances in a storage system. Westfalia S/RM’s are able to have precise positioning of the horizontal and vertical axis through laser and final positioning.
Key Features:
- Standard maximum height 130 ft. (40 meters)
- Capacity up to 4,400 lbs for standard pallet systems (larger for parking and storage module systems).
- Horizontal speed vmax 900 ft./min
- Vertical speed vmax 400 ft./min
- Operates between -30F to ambient conditions
- Dual mast design - S/RM is perfectly balanced – no cantilevered loads
- Vertical carriage moved by 2 triple roller chains
- Load shift plates – load is safely contained even during E-stop
- Dual motors on each axis of motion (redundancy optional)
- All moving parts located near bottom for ease of maintenance
- Center split shaft to allow quick access to bearings, sprockets
- Information exchange via wireless Ethernet, on same network as WMS
- Control platform is open architecture (Allen-Bradley Controllogix or Siemens S7)
AS/RS Rack System
Key Features:
- Post and beam design
- Triple pallet support of all pallets, eliminates pallet deflection
