1 Flexibility i order pickig, storage ad retrieval: rail-guided stacker craes

2 DAMBACH Lagersysteme has bee buildig rail-guided stacker craes for more tha 40 years, ad the compay s may years of experiece ad iovative egieerig place it amog the market leaders. The craes desiged ad built by DAMBACH are i use worldwide because DAMBACH techology optimises ay warehousig system! Our rail-guided stacker craes with overall heights of 45 m ad more are desiged as High throughput rates High availability Best use of available space Shortest cycle times Modular system fully automatic sigle- or twi-mast versios. They ca be used as stad-aloe uits or as part of a complete system, with aisle-boud techology or as curve-goig versios servig several aisles. Ad flexible modular systems eable us to icorporate bespoke adaptatios ad desig idividual solutios. You ame the loads: DAMBACH hadles them all! Whether a cheese wheel or a heavy machie part or a bulky carpet roll oly with the right loadig auxiliaries ad correspodig load-hadlig devices is it possible to operate a warehouse ecoomically. Typical loadhadlig devices are telescopic forks for sigle- ad double-deep storage. Doubledeep storage icreases the utilisatio ratio for the available space. Rotatig/traverse forks with adjustable ties permit the hadlig of both closed pallets ad custom pallets with oversized dimesios. Modified load-hadlig devices ad trays, which are developed ad maufactured by DAMBACH Lagersysteme itself, are available for special situatios. Time-savigs: DAMBACH delivers! Good fuctioality is the key to a DAMBACH cotrol, ad its characteristics are fie-tued to the requiremets of DAMBACH stacker craes. Absolute, cotactless positio decodig, path-depedet travel cotrol ad smooth acceleratio are the features our customers have come to expect. Features that guaratee optimum performace. DAMBACH cotrol compoets are available i several differet cofiguratios: Stacker craes factory pre-wired Productio ad assembly of the cotrol DAMBACH total cotrol with hardware ad software Materials-flow cotrol Special requiremets: DAMBACH meets them! The techical requiremets are as varied as the applicatios themselves. For example, with temperatures as low as 30 C i cold stores, ot oly the materials used, but also the maufacture, assembly ad commissioig must be geared to those coditios. Maximum availability ad reliability are key issues for car body storage prior to fial assembly. For eve mior disruptios ca brig the productio lie to a stadstill. I order to do justice to these demads, quality i desig is just as vital as quality i productio. Our desig work is therefore always carried out i 3D with movemet simulatio. Ad the fiite elemet method (FEM) is used for the detailed desig max mi.

4 MULTI The curve-goig stacker craes of the MULTI series are desiged to work i more tha oe aisle. They ca reach every storage aisle effortlessly. Chagig aisles: the easy way The stacker craes of the MULTI series offer users optimum solutios for chagig aisles. Our stacker craes are curve-goig models that ca chage aisles directly via a poit without the eed for a mechaical traverser. Operatios are ot iterrupted, access times ca be optimised. Every MULTI model ca operate i more tha oe aisle. That meas our customers ca ru large warehouses with just a few stacker craes operatig at maximum efficiecy for maximum ecoomy. A itelliget cotrol coordiates the iteractio of the various stacker craes. I the case of a malfuctio, oe uit ca take over the tasks of aother ad thus maitai the high availability of the warehouse. A further icrease i performace is possible at ay time by itroducig further stacker craes. Less wear: pateted rail geometry The geometry of a covetioal curved rail cocept causes a ievitable lateral displacemet of the ruig wheel. But this lateral displacemet towards the iside of the curve results i substatial wear o ruig wheels ad rails. For example, the displacemet o a 800 mm radius curve amouts to about 12 mm! DAMBACH s pateted curved rail cofiguratio corrects this lateral displacemet of the chassis. So you beefit from safe, low-wear guidace aroud the curves. At the begiig ad ed of each curve, the rails are offset slightly outwards i relatio to the straight track. That prevets lateral displacemet of the stacker crae, ad cuts wear substatially. At a glace: the MULTI beefits Curve-goig Aisle-chagig via rails ad poits Pateted rail geometry to miimise wear Operatio of several MULTI stacker craes without a fixed aisle allocatio High availability of the warehouse thaks to variable aisle allocatio Two drive wheels for good maoeuvrig Itegral stacker crae ad poit cotrol Parameter-cotrolled operatig strategy whe usig several stacker craes Sigle- or twi-mast versios Overall heights up to 35 m Liftig capacities up to 4,000 kg Optimised curve techology for reducig wear

5 MONO The rail-guided stacker craes of the MONO series are aisle-boud models characterised by their excellet performace. Aisle-boud: good space utilisatio, fast movemets The aisle-optimised desig of MONO stacker craes gives them a extremely high space utilisatio ratio. They beefit from miimum approach dimesios at the ed of the aisle ad at the top ad bottom of the travel. The space utilisatio ratio ca be further improved depedig o the particular applicatio, e.g. by usig a system without buffers at the ed of the aisle. The chassis of every DAMBACH rail-guided stacker crae ca be adjusted ad also allows ifiite correctio of the mast agle. That eables load cycle deformatios to be compesated for safely ad effectively. Ad that guaratees the accuracy of our stacker craes eve after may operatig hours. The low-vibratio, rigid mast costructio miimises the dampig times betwee idividual movemets. Eve high models achieve high speeds ad good acceleratio. High performace: Modular drive cocept The rail-guided stacker craes are fitted with oe or two drive uits depedig o requiremets. If eve greater productivity is required, a third drive uit or a iterlockig drive (toothed rack) ca be added as well. Ad that results i a performace usually oly see i automated small parts warehouses. The load-hadlig device is itegrated directly ito the liftig uit. That reduces the weight ad esures a particularly good telescopig performace. Efficiecy ad reliability i cotiuous operatio are guarateed through a stadardised modular system. Modules ca be combied to suit the specificatio. That results i graduated, applicatio-based stacker crae cofiguratios. Subsequet performace upgrades ca be achieved by retrofittig additioal drives, for example. At a glace: the MONO beefits Aisle-boud Miimum approach dimesios at the top ad bottom of the travel No-buffers ed-of-aisle protectio Modular cofiguratio Good speed ad acceleratio Oe, two or three drives depedig o throughput requiremets or a iterlockig drive Low-vibratio desig Smooth ruig Adjustable drive uit heads Sigle- or twi-mast versios Overall heights of 45 m Liftig capacities up to 6,000 kg
