Performance & Adaptability - Hänel Rotomat®

High-speed throughput

With its twin-motor drive and four-point suspension carriage system, the Rotomat® delivers retrieval cycles at speeds up to 70% faster, depending on configuration. The synchronized drive motors ensure smooth, distortion-free motion even under heavy loads, while advanced controls like the MFPS 1 and EcoLoad® continuously monitor carrier positioning and balance for peak performance.

• Next-tray pre-positioning means the system brings the upcoming retrieval into place while the operator completes the current pick.
• Twin-motor design ensures faster acceleration and braking with lower wear.
• Optional "high-speed version" access times shrink by as much as 40% in some applications.
• Precision positioning sensors maintain accuracy at full speed, ensuring each tray stops exactly at the access point for smooth, repeatable operation and minimal downtime.

The Rotomat's built-in flexibility lets you adapt internal storage to changing SKU sizes, weights, and workflows. With multifunction carriers capable of handling up to 750 kg per carrier (depending on model) and a wide range of accessory fittings (drawers, bins, trays, custom holders), you gain both density and agility.

• Variable interior fittings let you switch from small parts to bulky assemblies without replacing the carousel.
• Dividers, drawers, or loose-goods layouts allow you to maximize the available volume.
• Reconfigure any time — your system evolves with your business.
• Optional carrier accessories—like telescopic drawers, tilt-out bins, or heavy-duty trays—let you tailor storage to specific materials or handling needs.

Whether you're using single access or dual-access configurations (front/back), the Rotomat is built to plug into larger workflows and automation systems. Its control architecture supports barcode/RFID, host communication, and grouped carousel operation.

• Multiple operators can access separate carousels in parallel, improving throughput in high-volume settings.
• Interfaces to WMS/ERP systems ensure picks and puts are part of your digital workflow.
• Modular layout lets you position carousels directly where parts are needed — on the line, in staging, or in production support.
