AUTOMATIC PLANT FOR STORING AND DISPENSING GOODS

摘要

The plant includes, in principle, an elongated structure supporting shelving units with shelves for storing packaged goods, including as well a horizontal guide system along which a front loading set and a rear loading set move. It is characterized in that each guide system comprises a modular upper rail (10) incorporating permanent magnets (11) and an encoder strip (12), a revolving movable head (14) that can move along the modular upper rail (10) being coupled to said modular upper rail (10), said head including at least one coil, an electronic control panel (17) and an encoder reader associated with the encoder strip (12), said revolving movable head (14) serving as the support means for the relevant subset, each longitudinal guide system also comprising a lower rail (13) that constitutes a channel for supplying electricity to the coil of the revolving movable head (14) and other parts of the plant that require electricity.
