AutoStorage FP2, T-type

The BCM AutoStorage FP2, T-type is a fully automatic double-rack storage system designed for flatbed dies and printing plates (stereos / clichés). With its overhead‑mounted T-crane, the system maximizes storage capacity while minimizing footprint. As a result, it becomes an ideal solution for companies handling large volumes of tools and aiming to streamline their storage and retrieval processes.

Optimized Storage Capacity and Efficiency

The AutoStorage FP2, T‑type is designed to improve productivity from the ground up.

Key advantages include:

• High‑capacity double‑rack design
  – The double‑rack configuration boosts storage capacity by 100% while only requiring 50% more space than a traditional single‑rack setup.
• Flexible, space‑saving footprint
  – Width adapts to tool dimensions
  – Height options reach up to 10 meters
  – Length is unlimited, allowing full scalability
• 360° crane rotation
  – The T‑type robot crane rotates freely, ensuring precise placement of tools within the system and onto trolleys located in dedicated garages.
• Fully enclosed, dust‑free environment
  – Optional steel sheet cladding protects tools and keeps the storage area clean and secure.
• Faster automated operation
  – Simultaneous multi‑directional crane movements significantly reduce retrieval and placement times, improving workflow efficiency.

Advanced Technology and Intelligent Safety Features

Every BCM AutoStorage integrates robust digital and mechanical technologies:

• Remote access devices for online support.
• Touchscreen PC for intuitive, user‑friendly operation.
• Camera-assisted monitoring for precise tool handling.
• Software-controlled movement to prevent collisions.
• Database management system for organized tracking of printing plates.
• Garages for BCM transport trolleys.
• Full compatibility with Industry 4.0, Report Modules, and upgrade options.

Smooth Operation and Tailored Customization

Operators can enter multiple job requests directly on the touchscreen PC. The system automatically queues and executes them, significantly reducing manual handling errors and increasing productivity.

The storage structure uses durable galvanized steel, while the robot crane and crane rails combine aluminum, galvanized steel, and powder‑coated components for long‑lasting precision. All electronic components come from top-tier suppliers, ensuring reliability and performance.

Efficient Tool Handling with Customizable Trolleys

When the system retrieves a tool—whether a die or printing plate—it places it on a trolley waiting in a designated garage.

Standard trolley features:

• Holds three cassettes or 4–6 ASP8 profiles
• Easily maneuvered by one operator
• Custom designs available for combined die and printing plate handling

Each cassette houses a complete die set for production, including:

• Cutting die
• Stripping die
• Guillotine board
• Printing drawing

Integrated transport solutions

Garages and trolleys can be adapted with:

• Wheels
• Chain conveyors
• Transfer carts
  This ensures seamless integration into any production layout.
