Shelf-loading machine - has transfer unit with transfer insertion and extraction areas and packet conveyors

摘要

The loading and unloading machine is for a high-rise shelf storage system accommodating bundles in pairs one behind the other and extracted from the same side. It travels on a track running along the shelves, and has a transfer unit lifted and lowered and with mechanisms of inserting and extracting the bundle. The central transfer area (14) of this unit (6) has a mechanism (19) movable in the shelf direction, while the area is flanked by insertion and extracting ones (13, 15) each equipped with a conveyor (13a, 15a) thrusting the packet on it at right angles to the machine travel direction. A second transfer mechanism (23, 25, 26) moves packets on theinsertion or transfer areas respectively onto the transfer or extraction areas. ADVANTAGE - Fast handling and reducing power consumption.
