Aisle-Bound Rail-Guided Storage and Retrieval Machines: the MONO Series

Optimum Design for Excellent Aisle Utilisation

The aisle-bound MONO series has proved a favourite with customers because of its optimum use of space. Minimum approach dimensions at the end of the aisle and at the top and bottom of the travel plus no-buffers end-of-aisle protection permit full exploitation of the storage space. And then there’s the speed factor as well: good travelling speed and acceleration figures ensure efficient storage and retrieval, also during peak times.

Depending on requirements, our MONO storage and retrieval machines can be fitted with one, two or three drives. Where very high maneuverability is required, DAMBACH also makes use of an interlocking drive concept with a toothed rack. That results in throughput rates that are otherwise only seen in automated small parts warehouses. Another benefit of the toothed rack drive is the low load on the running wheels and the rails.

The large range of load handling attachments, which we develop and produce ourselves to suit your loads, turns any rail-guided storage and retrieval machine (SRM) into a true all-rounder ideal for virtually any branch of industry, whether for paper storage or cold stores. Only when the interfaces between SRMs, load handling equipment, and load carriers are perfectly matched is it possible to operate an automated high bay warehouse reliably and economically.

Here, too, the modular construction enables good flexibility and easy adaptation to meet customer requirements. All modules can be combined to suit the specification, which enables graduated, application-based configurations for all products. Upgrades for better performance or retrofitting in existing warehouses are therefore no problem.

Smooth Efficiency

The drive unit heads are adjustable and thus permit infinite correction of the mast angle. Load cycle deformations can therefore be compensated for safely and effectively, which guarantees outstanding precision even after many operating hours. The low-vibration, rigid mast design minimises the damping times between individual movements. Even long-reach models thus achieve high speeds and good acceleration.
