Automation c-motion dynamics

Based on our F4Integrate software, F4Warehouse is fully integrated into the existing software landscape and thus enables seamless interaction with each other.
Advantages:

Chaotic or unmixed stacks can be defined. 
There is also the option of dynamic generation of storage locations - the area storage system creates the stacking locations itself with the best possible utilisation of the available space.

There is also the option of dynamic order analysis, in which the area storage system automatically selects the most efficient order processing sequence - with the advantage of fewer stock transfers and faster order processing

Application of various rules to materials

Solid welded construction with low overall height which absorbs the forces generated during the process. 

Maximum travelling speeds:

X-axis 130 m/min
Y-axis 110 m/min
Z-axis 40 m/min

The Z-axis is adjusted using a scissor lift.
The vacuum beam consists of aluminium profiles with longitudinal adjustment via a precise servo axis.

This is suitable for panels with the following dimensions:

Length: 2,000 - 4,350 mm
Width: 600 - 2,160 mm
Thickness: 8 - 80 mm

Suction pads are used to manipulate a wide variety of absorbent materials:

Chipboard, non-laminated and laminated (raw density at least 650 kg/m³)
MDF and HDF raw (raw density at least 750 kg/m³)
MDF and HDF laminated
Compact panel (HPL)
Plywood or multi-layer board
OSB sanded min. type 3

Materials deviating from this parameter can be offered specifically after technical clarification.
 

Automatic, infinitely variable longitudinal adjustment of the vacuum beam also ensures the separation of air-permeable materials and the gentle transport of different panel dimensions.
Panel length with standard vacuum beam 2,000 - 4,350 mm
Panel length with optional vacuum beam for large formats 2,500 - 5,600 mm

A vacuum unit travelling on the suction spider is used to manipulate the panels. Depending on the version, the negative pressure is generated via one or more Venturi valves. A vacuum tank is located on the suction spider to save energy and ensure efficient vacuum build-up.

Automatic recording of the panel weight during each lifting process. This means that the measured weight is regularly compared with the actual panel weight. If the measured value deviates from the calculated panel weight during the storage process, for example, the system stops automatically with a corresponding error message.

After inserting a panel during each manipulation process, the position of the panel on the manipulator is recognised. A correction, especially during the storage process, is fully automatic, ensuring precise stack formation in the warehouse and exact positioning of the panels when they are fed onto the machine.

Rotating device on the manipulator for turning the vacuum beam including the Z-axis, from -5° to 185°. The bearing is very precise and smooth-running thanks to a high-quality precision tapered angular contact ball bearing instead of a conventional rotary flange. This means that the panel stack can be aligned very precisely and automatically.

Loading/unloading position for the depositing of the panel stack using a forklift truck. Designed with mechanical stop columns in the depth and at the side for alignment, and with galvanised shaped tube construction for positioning the stack of panels.
Access is by means of light barriers - or alternatively a limit switch on the customer's roller shutter. Design according to customised layout.
Direct feed to the machine immediately from the warehouse system is also possible at any time.

Industrial wireless scanner for easy data capture during the storage process.
Lists with barcodes of the corresponding panel materials can be printed out before storage.
This barcode is scanned during warehousing and the corresponding material with the correct quantity is automatically selected in the software.

An electrical connection between the machine and the area storage system includes a signal exchange for a proper sequence in the automatic loading process and establishes the safety-relevant connections between the two machines.
If the optimisation software transfers the orders digitally to the warehouse system, a data transfer ensures that the CNC program or cutting plan for this order is opened automatically on the machine. This means that processing is controlled by the work preparation system and operating errors due to incorrect selection of CNC programs or cutting plans are reduced to a minimum. 
Connection to third-party products is not included as standard, but can be assessed after technical testing.

The maximum load capacity is 200 kg in the standard equipment, but can be increased to 250 kg or 320 kg as an option.

Do you have limited space but still want to take advantage of all the benefits of automatic panel storage and feeding? This is precisely the situation in which the so-called multi-level warehouse is the right solution for you, provided the warehouse height is adequate. The panels are stored on the upper floor and your machines can be loaded at floor level through a recess in the intermediate ceiling. This gives you the space you need for your operations on the ground floor and at the same time provides you with maximum flexibility and efficiency thanks to the advantages of the automatic panel storage system.
