Vertical Carousels Controls

• Digital control for Industrial applications (takes into account current industrial standards.)

• Open system with RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet with CAN-BUS options for extensions.

• Connection of peripheral equipment such as printers, bar code readers, scales, additional displays, alphanumeric keyboards, monitors, etc.

• Integrated host interface.

• Service interface for remote service, remote diagnostics by data transmission and data communications as well as data back-up.

• Support of several access openings by "TRUE" multi-user operation.

• Inexpensive extensions due to modular design.

• Foil-design keyboard suitable for industry (IP54), splash proof, dust proof, abrasion proof, easy to clean.

• Numeric keypad and control keys for dialogue with control panel.

• Large LC-display with graphic design feature, background illumination, high contrast, low glare, easy reading.

• Multiple languages, language switch over can be effected by operator while unit is in operation.

• All information is in plain text (NO coded information.)

• Help functions available while unit is in operation.

• Automatic service management (unit indicates automatically when suggested service date has been reached.

• The article storage administration works in multi-user mode, i.e. with up to four units, or access openings.

• When using the optional DB2000 no additional computer hardware is necessary.

• It allows for the operation of the unit via part number, quantity, FIFO, etc., while maintaining the inventory in the unit.

• Speeds / Positioning.

• Continuously adjustable Vertical lift speed PER TRAY. It is adjustable from 10% to 100% of its max speed.

• Continuously adjustable Horizontal extraction speed PER TRAY. It is also adjustable from 10% to 100% of its max speed.

• Now faster overall cycle times due to increased Vertical, Horizontal and empty lift travel speeds.

• Height Detection.

• Height detection is now done using a light curtain instead of photoeyes.

• Before and after the extraction of the tray from the access opening, there is a check to verify whether the light curtain is clear or not. This is used make sure all product is safely stored before it is put into the unit.

• Each tray also has the ability to have a pre-reserved height. If this height is exceeded it will be sent back to the operator for the height to be reduced. This is just another option that is available to add to the already versatile "Fixed", "Optimized", and "Mixed" storage modes. These trays with the preserved heights can also be designated to be optimized or fixed. If they are fixed they will always go to the same location. If they are optimized they will go to the location that will best accommodate the tray at that measured height. If it is lower than the pre reserved height it may change locations to better utilize the cube within the unit. This pre reserved height option prevents an operator from putting one very tall product on a tray with many small products. This scenario would waste a lot of the tray cubic storage.
