erman healthcare products supplier, ProServ, provides hospitals and clinics in the Cologne area with a wide range of items from artificial hip joints to menu cards. When the company redesigned operations at its 4000m2 warehouse at Pulheim-Brauweiler, it opted for the OSR ShuttleTM solution from KNAPP.
As ProServ delivers to hospitals and larger health facilities, its orders can include up to 400 containers. These are delivered directly to the relevant departments or storage areas,
so
containers need to be consolidated in the warehouse in reverse order and supplied to dispatch in an exact sequence. KNAPP supplied its multifunctional OSR Shuttle™ storage and picking solution to handle all the central warehouse processes.
The OSR Shuttle™ at ProServ features 17 shuttles to provide a total of 3,720 storage locations that span all four floors of the building. Each OSR Shuttle™ rack line has two independently operating lifts. With horizontal and vertical transport decoupled by the use of shuttles and lifts, optimal availability and throughput are guaranteed, regardless of order structure. The OSR Shuttle™ automatically replenishes the flow racks for manual picking and also provides storage for overstock. Products are picked from the pallet flow racks using pick-to-belt and RF technologies, with goods transferred to containers at an automatic tray-loading station.
All containers are temporarily stored in the OSR ShuttleTM system. The desired sequence of containers is generated on the conveyor loop upstream of the OSR Shuttle™. After sequencing, containers are conveyed to the repack stations and loaded into transport vehicles.

.J and C.I Snell, one of the UK's leading fresh and frozen fruit growers, has constructed a new cold store fully equipped with a mobile pallet racking system supplied and installed by SSI Schaefer. Established in 1989, the Snell organisation at Harewood End near Hereford produces an impressive 1300 tonnes of Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Blueberries, each year and a further 700 tonnes of Blackcurrants for juice processing, IQF, and Soil Association Organic. The company operates a state-of-the-art 2000- tonne capacity packhouse and, along with the new pallet freezer store offers blast freezing facilities and puree production as well as contract storage and packing for local growers. SSI Schaefer was actively involved in sizing and designing the new cold store – from the inside out. The mobile pallet racking system holds up to 900 standard (‘Chep’) pallets enabling Snell to maximise their storage capacity for frozen fruit while at the same time minimising the refrigeration overhead.

ACE presents NEWTONLINE a brand new family of industrial gas springs
M
otion control products manufacturer, ACE Controls International has introduced a brand new family of gas springs that will now become their standard product range solution for customers. Called NEWTONLINE, ACE has managed to integrate several notable
innovations in this new generation of industrial gas springs to give customers a higher quality product offering improved performance and lifespan. NEWTONLINE gas springs are available in cylinder sizes from 15 to 40 mm with
strokes from 20 to 1000 mm and force ranges from 40 to 5000 N. Externally, their striking grooves and graphite-grey UV coating offer performance
benefits. The new grooves are not just a superficial design feature; they offer a substantial installation advantage for the user. Alongside improved stability, the two grooves provide better running properties as well as excellent concentricity and centring. Less friction is also produced, which means that the extension force of the springs is immediately available.

s requirements for torque measurement increase in terms of speed and precision, the T40B torque transducer from HBM - a market leader in the field of test and measurement - now offers a precise solution for high rotational speeds with EtherCAT gateway. Previously available with a maximum continuous rotational speed of 20,000 rpm in the standard version, the T40B is now also available in a high speed version which features a rotational speed measuring system, which can be used, without restrictions, at the torque transducer's maximum rated rotation speed up to 24,000 rpm. Providing a measurement accuracy of 0.03% in terms of linearity deviation,
A including
hysteresis error, the latest version of the T40B torque transducer guarantees maximum precision and accuracy.
