ROTARY DIE / PRINTING PLATE STORAGE

Product description

The storage structure is built mainly from galvanized steel. The crane and the crane rails are a combination of aluminum, galvanized steel and powder-coated steel. The monitor has a camera to support the operator while operating the crane to lower or lift the rotary dies. Furthermore, the numbered signs help with the logistical organization of the storage, and also work as a marker for the operator.

The operator can move the crane manually and, at the same time, drive the sleigh with the rotary die gripper up and down in a vertical direction. This is time-saving, making operation of the crane efficient, especially with high storages.  

The bcm PrimeStorage RP1, F-type also stores printing plates. The printing plates are placed in the lowest level of the storage and are handled manually without using a crane. The height of the printing plate level depends on the size of the biggest printing plates which gives the “drop” height, as we call it.

The trolleys for the storage are on wheels and can be designed to fit individual customer requirements. bcm has a standard range of trolleys for rotary dies, printing plates and a combination of rotary dies with printing plates. The trolleys are easy to handle and push by just one person.

When the operator picks up the rotary dies, he must bring them to the garage where the trolley is parked. On the contrary, as the printing plates are picked by hand, the operator can easily have a trolley for printing plates that do not need to be in the garage.

Once the trolley is full, the operator can drive to the converting lines with the tools, and a new trolley can be inserted into the garage for loading or unloading.

While the operator is working in the storage, nobody else should be in the aisle due to safety reasons.
