Shelf stacking system for automated warehouse - contains movable table picking up objects using magnets on top object surfaces

摘要

A stacking system for an automated warehouse contains a displaceable table (14) for transporting individually magnetically handleable objects (5) forming a load. The objects are all of the same width and have magnets (19) on their upper surfaces. The magnets are used to grasp the objects and to hold them on the table during transportation. The width of the table's upper surface is less than the width of the individual objects to be transported. ADVANTAGE - Obviates need for palettes or crates.
