AutoStorage P1, F-type

The BCM AutoStorage P1, F-type is a fully automatic single-rack storage system designed for printing plates ( / stereos / clichés). Featuring a front-mounted crane, it optimizes storage capacity while minimizing the required footprint. This system is ideal for businesses handling large volumes of printing plates, providing efficient and automated storage and retrieval process.

Optimized storage and efficiency:

• Optimized storage footprint – Width depends on tool sizes, while height options go up to 10 meters, and length remains unlimited.
• 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 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 the required tool (printing plates) from storage, they are delivered on a trolley in a designated garage. The trolleys are designed to hold 4-6 ASP8 profiles as standard, and are easily maneuvered by a single operator.
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 P1, F-type offers an optimal combination of efficiency, precision, and safety.
