The Sheet Metal Vertical Lift System (VLS) is an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/AR) that utilizes an elevator to climb the front of the tower to deposit and retrieve cartridges weighing up to 5,000 lbs and deliver them directly to the ground level for further processing, increasing material storage and improving production flow. Further, integrating storage and processing can eliminate costly retrieval steps, increase production machinery uptime, and reduce associated labour. CART LOADING 1. Call empty pallet from tower to go onto the loading table. 217 2. The lift will lower the pallet onto the table allowing the pins on the table to go through the open spaces of the pallet. • Recovers average of 80% of your floor space • Eliminates the need for forklifts during standard operation (operator, spotter, forklift) • Reduce material changeover time by as much as 75% 3. With the lift fully lowered, the loading cart pins will protrude 5’’ above the surface of the pallet. Now the sheets can be lowered onto the pins with a forklift or overhead crane. • Utilizes overhead space for maximum storage density Sheet Metal • Contained storage environment prevents material damage • Ergonomic design increases workplace safety and prevents injuries • Improved productivity with more efficient SKU picking 4. The lift raises the pallet, lifting the sheets from the pins, and continues to raise the pallet and sheets to place them in the tower at the designated position.
