The High-bay Warehouse simulates an automatically working high-level-storage system as used for example in many industrial branches. The model consists of a rack, being divided up in 3 x 3 storage places and a warehouse operating device, being portable in X-direction. A cage being portable in Z-direction and including a telescopic palette carrier, that is portable in S-direction, is attached to the warehouse operating device.
The simulated process shows palettes being stored and withdrawn from the high-level storage: In the home position the telescopic palette carrier is moved out. In case of the telescopic palette carrier is occupied by a palette, it moves to the station and takes over the palette. This is recognized by a reflection light switch. Following this, the warehouse operating device brings the palette to the intended storage place in an optimized manner by moving in X- and Z-direction at the same time. Occupying a storage place is recognized by software.
In order to enable a quick movement to the storage place on the one hand and a safe lay-in-movement on the other hand, the horizontal rack positions are equipped with advanced mechanical switches that allow retarding the warehouse operating device before reaching the intended position. Withdrawing palettes occurs in the same manner, done in inverse chronological order. Moreover, the X-axes are equipped with a hardware end position switch to prevent the whole warehouse system from fatal mistakes in using the conveyor or programming the control unit. The High Level Storage Warehouse is fit to be combined with further models (combinable models) in order to automate the periphery of the warehouse.
