ROTARY DIE STORAGE

SmartStorage R1, T-type


The bcm SmartStorage is an upgraded and smarter version of the bcm PrimeStorage with a touchscreen PC, remote access devices and several software features, and with more software options available. All bcm SmartStorage solutions have software to aid the operator with automatic location identification and semi-automatic functions to ensure correct pick-and-place of all dies and printing plates.


The bcm SmartStorage is still a manually moved craned. However, the operator gets assistance from the software to help in not making mistakes in either storing or operation of the equipment.


Software options such as “Report Module”, “Industry 4.0” and more make the bcm SmartStorage attractive to many customers. For customers who want a smart storage system, where full-automatic is not required, the bcm SmartStorage is a good choice.


Our customers receive an effective storage system which is well-organized and dies and printing plates can be combined in almost endless combinations.

semi-automatic single rack storage for rotary dies with t-crane


Product description


This semi-automatic single rack storage for rotary dies, with an overhead-mounted crane, is useful if lacking the required space for two racks. If you have a small footprint or a free wall area but traffic in the aisle or corridor, this single rack system is ideal. After use, the operator can “park” the crane higher up in the storage to give free passage in front of the storage. The overhead-mounted crane requires fixation either in the roof or through bcm steel support ladders.


The storage structure is built mainly from galvanized steel. The hoist is motor driven with steel-wire and ensures precise positioning and smooth operation, a requirement for the software programs in bcm SmartStorage solutions. The crane and the crane rails are a combination of aluminum, galvanized steel and powder-coated steel.


All bcm SmartStorages have as standard: Remote access devices for on-line support, PC with touchscreen, clear icons for easy operation, database, camera on crane and software-controlled lifting and lowering to avoid any collisions inside the storage. Also incorporated is the needed software for the semi-automatic processes, and it is prepared for multiple options such as “Industry 4.0”, “Report Module” and “ID Tags on all parts”.


When operating the bcm SmartStorage cranes the operator first enters the tools required. Each die has their own unique position in the storage which is entered into the PC. By entering the tool number on the touch screen the crane knows exactly where to drive and how to position itself correctly. Thus, when the operator moves the crane manually, he will have the software to tell him when he is in the right position. Only then he can move into the storage and take out the tools needed. Moving in and out and lifting and lowering is also controlled by the crane software. In this way operator mistakes are eliminated, time is optimized, and the operator cannot damage either storage or tools because the crane’s software is controlling all these movements.


The bcm SmartStorage R1, T-type can also be combined in a storage solution containing printing plates. The printing plates are placed in the lowest level of the storage and handled manually without use of crane


The trolleys for the storage are on wheels and designed to contain 3 double-dies or 4 single dies as standard. Customized trolleys are available at bcm transtech. The trolleys can be placed in a garage or anywhere in the aisles of the storage area as this crane can rotate 360 degrees. The trolleys are easy to handle and can be pushed by just one person.
