Product catalog summary
Overview of Sheet Metal Vertical Lift System (VLS)
The Sheet Metal VLS is an automated storage and retrieval system designed to enhance material storage and production flow. It uses an elevator mechanism to handle cartridges weighing up to 5,000 lbs, delivering them directly to ground level for processing. This system aims to eliminate the need for forklifts, reduce material changeover time by up to 75%, and utilize overhead space for maximum storage density. Additionally, it prevents material damage and enhances workplace safety through ergonomic design, improving productivity with efficient SKU picking.
Specifications
The VLS is available in various models with different capacities and dimensions. The models are categorized based on the capacity of 60” x 120” x 3.5” and 60” x 120” x 5”. Each model has specific height, width, depth, and pallet capacity, allowing for customization based on storage needs.
Loading Instructions
1. Place an empty pallet on the loading table/cart and direct it to the desired loading position.
2. Load flat material onto the table/cart, ensuring it rests approximately 5” above the pallet.
3. Move the cart to the home position, where the elevator lifts the pallet and material for storage.
Access and Safety Features
The VLS includes automatic controls for pallet selection, emergency stops, overload sensing, and access restrictions with perimeter fencing and light curtains. It features a braking system with a process brake and a redundant brake for safety, and each pallet is locked in place until released by the elevator. The system is powered by SEW KAF87 and KAF47 motors and designed to meet SIL3 / CAT4 / PL e safety standards.
Additional Features
The VLS offers access from all four sides, supports up to two carts per lift, and provides three cart styles for versatile loading and feeding of production machines.
