The Vectura Storage and Retrieval Machine (SRM), offered in partnership with Accalon of Sweden, is a state-of-the-art system designed to meet the high demands of your distribution, warehousing, or manufacturing operation. Its flexible, modular design is easily configurable for almost any application. From the floor up to 130 feet...single, double, triple, or multi-deep storage...one load or multiple loads at a time...pallets, paper reels, car bodies, car engines, boats, fixtures for handling multiple tote bins...you name it, we've handled it. We design for what the application demands, whether it's one crane per aisle, multiple cranes per aisle, or aisle transfer.

The key to the flexibility of this automated storage and retrieval system is the auxiliary mast, which transforms the crane to a long and flexibly load-carrying platform. Our modular system allows us to provide you with a standard product that is configured appropriately for your application.

The Vectura SRM Cranes are engineered without compromise to ensure long life, maximization of space, and modularity. From the crane controls to the electrical design to the safety features, every part of this automated storage and retrieval system has been carefully planned for flexibility and ease of use. In addition, a variety of options, including aisle transfer, input/output options, and cold storage capabilities, provides you with the features you need for your application.

Stacking height: 0 (yes - from the floor!) to 130 feet

Load handling devices:

• Shuttle platten or forks (single, double, and triple deep)
• Satellite cars for multi-deep handling
• Forks with fork spread for multiple load size
• Rotating forks
• Robotic device for multiple bin handling

Number of pallets simultaneously: 1, 2 to 4 with standard configuration or other solutions in special applications
Load weights: < 3 tons/6600 lbs. with standard configuration or higher weights for special applications
Aisle change: Transfer car system, requiring no pit, can also be configured as a transfer terminal for load input/output
On-board cab: Cab giving full access to all controls for commissioning and troubleshooting. Special cab designs for customer specific applications.

Environment:

• Ambient
• Chill typically from 32°F (0°C) to 40°F (+5°C)
• Deep freeze down to -22°F (-30°C)

Types of loads handled:

• Pallets: GMA, CHEP, Euro, slave pallets, trays
• Tote bins typically for multiple load handling
• Fixtures, skids, machining center pallet and roll containers
• Car bodies and boats
• Paper and plastic reels
• Cylinders

Positioning:

• Absolute encoding via laser or tooth belt
• Rack lean measurement with automatic compensation of the positioning system for rack lean caused by changes in loading, or uneven loading, of rack structure

Communications: TCPIP or IR
Controls: PLC on-board and stationary server-based CraneBOX with easy-to-use graphical interface
Servicing: Remote diagnostics, automatic, long intervals
Transport: Transport using standard trailers or 40 foot containers, easy to handle and manoeuvre on site
Commissioning: Pre-delivery factory commissioning, providing extremely short installation and commissioning times, typically one day per crane on site.
