Kasto Unitower to star at Mach

Multi-level warehouses for storing and retrieving bar, tube, sheet and other material automatically will be on show at the stand of KASTO who will be exhibiting at MACH 2014.

A KASTOunitower C storage tower for sheet metal will occupy a large area of the stand. The space-saving tower stores 3 metre by 1.5 metre sheets, plates, flat products and other materials such as bar, tube, boxes and semi-finished goods in a compact footprint. It offers many advantages compared to conventional storage on shelves, cantilever arms or on the floor.

The tower is especially suitable for job shops, machine shops and small to medium size sheet metal processing facilities, providing flexible storage to a height of up to 7.2m. It has a compact footprint of 3,415 x 4,350mm and the standard version has a storage location every 47mm.

The pallets holding the sheet metal glide on almost wear-free, plastic-lined tracks when pushed into or pulled out of a storage location within the steel structure. A lift mechanism travelling at the front of the tower effects horizontal transfer of the material as well as traversing vertically between locations at up to 8m/min.

Depending on design, pallets can support a maximum load of either 1,200kg or 3,000kg. The height of the loading / unloading station is adjustable, allowing direct transfer to a sheet metal processing machine or transport cart. This raises production efficiency, improves safety, saves labour and minimises the risk of damaging the material.

Versions of the KASTOunitower C are available for semi-automatic or fully automatic operation, with appropriate safety measures. The tower is controlled by KASTO’s own BasicControl, which is fitted with a user-friendly touch panel. Hall 4 Stand 4518
