Product description
The Tivox Auto Store HL 91 is used for the automatic storage and handling of magnetic and non-magnetic sheet and plate. Packs of sheet/plate material are initially loaded into the machine by a forklift truck. The machine then utilizes a lift arm containing a vacuum cup system to lift an individual sheet or plate and place it in one of 5 storage levels arranged vertically within the unit. When the material is needed the lift arm, aided by an air blast for separation, picks the sheet or plate from the store and places it on a roller table so that it may be conveyed to a downstream shear, press, or similar processing machine. The unit may be controlled by its programmable logic controller, or placed under the control of a subsequent machine. The standard HL 91 features five storage levels and one loading level; additional levels may be incorporated to meet a customer’s requirements. The machine can handle sheets having dimensions up to 3000 millimeters by 1500 millimeters by 12 millimeters, and weighing up to 280 kilograms.
