AutoStorage F2, T-type

The BCM AutoStorage F2, T-type is a fully automatic double-rack storage system designed for flatbed dies. Featuring an overhead-mounted robot crane, it optimizes storage capacity while minimizing the required footprint. This system is ideal for businesses handling large volumes of flatebed dies, providing efficient and automated storage and retrieval process.

Optimized storage and efficiency:

• High storage capacity – The double-rack system increases capacity by 100%, while only requiring 50% more space compared to a single-rack system.
• Optimized storage footprint – Requires approximately 10 meters in width, with height options up to 10 meters and unlimited length.
• 360-degree rotation – The T-type robot crane can fully rotate, allowing flexible handling and precise placement of tools within the storage system and onto trolleys in designated garages.
• Fully enclosed system – The storage can be covered with steel sheet cladding for a secure and dust-free environment.
• Automated efficiency – Simultaneous multi-directional crane movement ensures faster retrieval and placement.

Advanced technology and safety features:

Every BCM AutoStorage includes:

• Remote access devices for online support.
• PC with touchscreen for intuitive operation.
• Camera-assisted monitoring for precision handling.
• Software-controlled movement to prevent collisions and enhance safety.
• Database management for efficient organization of printing plates.
• Garages for BCM transport trolleys.
• Compatibility with Industry 4.0, Report Module, and other software upgrades.

Seamless operation and customization:

The system allows operators to input multiple job requests (required tools) into the touchscreen PC, where they are automatically queued and efficiently executed by the robot crane, reducing manual handling errors and increasing productivity.

The storage structure is built primarily from galvanized steel, while the robot crane and crane rails combine aluminum, galvanized steel, and powder-coated steel for durability and precision. The electronic components are sourced from top-tier brands, ensuring high reliability and performance.

Efficient tool handling with trolleys:

When the robot crane retrieves flatbed dies from storage, they are delivered on a trolley in a designated garage. The trolleys are designed to hold three cassettes as standard, and are easily maneuvered by a single operator. Each cassette contains a complete die set for production (cutting die, stripping die, guillotine board, and printing drawing.

The trolleys and garages can be customized with different designs and transport solutions, such as wheels, chain conveyors, or transfer carts, ensuring seamless integration with the production environment.

For companies seeking an advanced, fully automated storage solution with maximum safety for printing plates, the BCM AutoStorage F2, T-type offers an optimal combination of efficiency, precision, and safety.
