Parts Handling

EnKon Systems, Herkules Equipment Corporation's new brand name of scissor lift tables, answered the need for a manufacturer seeking a Hydraulic Scissor Lift coupled with a Tilting Conveyor.

Gone are the days with one eight hour manufacturing shift, many automated facilities today run production machines through the night with very few machine operators, making machine maintenance and repair a valuable operation. Kardex Remstar automated storage and retrieval systems increase production machine uptime by improving technician efficiency, increasing accountability and eliminating part shortages in metalworking maintenance operations.

The newest addition to the Kardex Remstar Vertical Lift Module family, the Element VLM saves up to 80 percent floor space when compared to standard shelving.

For metalworking operations with heavy parts, Kardex Remstar introduces the new Megamat RS Model 650 Vertical Carousel.

The light pointer now available with a Shuttle Vertical Lift Module (VLM) from Kardex Remstar directs an operator to a specific part location using a laser or LED spot.

Kardex Remstar has extended its portfolio for the RS series, the latest generation of the proven vertical carousel, by introducing the new Megamat RS 180.

Roughly 1,196 square feet of shelving was consolidated into two Shuttle Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) from Kardex Remstar occupying only 184 square feet, a 71 percent savings in floor space.

A new vertical lift module from Kardex Remstar can accommodate goods weighing up to 2,205lbs (1,000 kg) per tray.

Storing and retrieving heavy loads or bulky goods generally takes manpower and heavy equipment. With the new Shuttle XP 1000, Kardex Remstar supplies an overhead crane mounted on the unit for easy handling of heavy goods.

A new, (patent pending) dual spring hanger that lets users safely maneuver all types of heavy or bulky tools, especially when they need to be jogged into position, is being introduced by ESCO Tool.
