Increase of Productivity by Storage System from Systraplan

Systraplan, supplier of automatic storage systems, was instructed by Poppensieker & Derix, a company in Westerkappeln, Germany, to build an automatic storage system for construction  timbers.  At this location an automatic storage for construction timber has been installed. This storage feed on demand the finger jointing plant with material and thus the storage system helps to increase the economic efficiency of the whole factory.

This is the first project of this kind at a laminated timber production. Knowledge and skill gained have given proof that this storage system, which provides the machining elements with material,  is extremely reasonable and effective when it comes to the production of laminated timber.

Specific Internal Transport

With the storage system stacks up to a length of 5.700 mm and a weight of up to 4.400 kg can be stored.
Due to the target-orientated internal transport and demand orientated material feeding of the laminated timber production an extremely high working load of the machining units, operating in multiple shifts, is gained, which results in a very high productivity.
Remains are returned and automatically  stored in the storage.

Advantages of  Systraplan-Storage system:

• High capacity in spite of less floor space
• Absolute encoder in all measuring systems
• Servo drives require no main brakes  (minimisation of mechanical wear)
• Direct access to every single stack
• Carefully transport of the stacks (no damages)
• Saving of energy due to servos with regenerative power supply units
• Flexible system; extension of the rack-system very easily to realise

Storage and Control Program

With the Systraplan storage system comes the 3Tec storage and control program, that can be operated under the Microsoft operating system.
This guarantees that today’s and tomorrows requirements will be met also in future in respect of system design, flexibility and links to standard systems and standard software.
