Storage tower for Sheetmetal is compact and economical
M
etal sawing and storage equipment manufacturer,
KASTO, has introduced a new tower to provide a compact, standardised solution for automated storage and retrieval of pallets and flat material. Advantages of the system, called KASTOecostore, are its low space requirement, high storage density, short material access times and value for money. The store accommodates material up to 1,500 mm deep by either three or four metres wide. Both types are available with a load capacity per station of either 1.2 or three tonnes. System height can be specified by the customer from 3.1 metres to 8.0 metres. The same applies to the level at which loading and unloading takes place, as users can select different heights up to 950 mm. Besides being suitable for
storing sheet metal in a wide range of sizes, KASTOecostore can also hold euro-pallets and stillages. This makes it ideal for
applications involving different materials in small businesses, workshops and maintenance shops. It can also be used as a buffer store between production areas in factories, close to machinery if necessary. The lifting gear drive is equipped with leading-edge frequency converters from Siemens and the motor is stationary to allow precise, dynamic loading and unloading. Robust roller chains ensure long service life and low maintenance. The steel frame consists of standardised rolled sections and can be dimensioned in accordance with the relevant standards for earthquake resistance. Comprehensive safety control measures prevent malfunction and costly downtime. KASTOecostore comes as
standard with the manufacturer’s own SmartControl, which has an intuitive, touchscreen user interface for rapid, error-free data input by all operators. Loads can be on pallets or special cassettes, which are stored and

retrieved automatically and brought to an ergonomic height for ease of handling. Additional
lifting equipment such as a forklift is not necessary, keeping access times short. KASTO offers an extensive
range of accessories for adapting the store to special requirements. They include a movable carriage for loading and unloading material from the back of the tower; and insert bolts for subdividing pallets and cassettes. A storage aid with lift- off bolts is available to assist in the handling of sheet metal and other materials using a stacker or crane.
KASTOecostore is equipped with a modern drive and control system for top performance. 14 IMT June 2017
