KASTO Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG

The KASTObbs block bandsaw convinces with strong performance and a small footprint. Due to a moving saw head, about 50 % less space is needed. The saw head moves on precision rails with preloaded lateral rollers . Distortion-free welding construction of the saw head with adaptable height of band guide for quiet and vibration-free running.

• Infinitely variable bandsaw blade speed
• Using bi-metal or carbide saw blades, all material qualities, including difficult to cut materials such as titanium, hastelloy and inconel can be cut with a strong cutting performance
• Automatic band indexing for longitudinal or cross cutting optional
• More than 10 machine sizes, with cutting heights up to 2060 mm, material weights up to 30 tons and cut-piece lengths up to 9000 mm; for material heights up to 360 mm also available as a fully automatic version KASTObbs A
• Available with 22 kW drive power and a cutting speed up to 2000 m/min as a KASTObbs M

Storage room economically used.

This standardized storage system is suited for all applications where a high variety of materials like bar stock or sheet metal need to be stored. A high storage density on smallest area is achieved by height-optimized compartment division. This leads to more order, cleanliness and safety.

All advantages at a glance:

• Economic automatic storage system for long material and sheet metal in single-sided and double-sided version

• Plug-in modular pallet supports

• Loading and unloading always at an ideal height

• Easy operating by means of selection of storage place and approval key at dead man’s operation

• Saving of time due to direct access without additional lifting devices

• Small space requirements by consequent height utilization

• Machine-oriented installation is possible

• Low expenditure for installation

• Three different loading heights are selectable

• Gap control as pallet seat control while the operating gantry crane is moving

• Construction complying with earthquake standards

Accessories:

• Socket pin for pallets in order to protect the storage goods against shifting

• Storage support for pallets with lifting pins to unpack sheet metal and for better handling via forklift or crane

• Automatic control with safety device

• Expansion of the standard control, to allow Item and Inventory management

• Manually movable station cart to load/unload storage system from the rear

• Lateral posts for C-profile cassettes to individually extend loading height

The Honeycomb Storage System UNICOMPACT allows shortest cycle times, even with large storage systems. The compact design of the operating gantry crane ensures that as much space as possible can be used for storage purposes. This excellent space utilization is also ideal for already existing buildings, i.e. classic buildings of steel distributors. The bar storage system UNICOMPACT delivers the required material quickly according to the principle "Material to Operator". An extensive list of station designs increases the efficiency of saws and commissioning tasks for solids or profiles of steel, aluminum, plastic or non-ferrous metals.

The KASTO-random cassette access principle offers better efficiency due to increased speed. This lowers the number of travel movements and - in connection with faster drives - achieves cycle times of approx. 75 seconds. And all this with a storage system size of 2000 cassettes. The most important components of the random access cassette principle are two simultaneously working cassette pulling units and a well though-out programming, ensuring short distances and therefore a fast availability.

Speed on the one hand, precision on the other. Light barrier and laser axis guarantee a safe data transfer and error-free positioning of the operating gantry crane.

Deciding factor for an optimum material flow are intelligent infeed and outfeed stations. The picture shows as an example a rotary station with buffer locations. More facts about the bar storage system UNICOMPACT:

• Building heights 4 to 26 m
• Cassette for 1 to 5 tons (if necessary more) usable load
• Storage volume approx. 500 to 4.000 (if needed, more) cassettes (the equivalent to approx. 2500 to 20000 t)
• Cassette lengths from 3 to 8 m (if necessary more)
• Building supporting version possible as well
• Easy user guidance, i.e. with bar code entry
• Integrated weighing scales (option)
• Comfortable inventory management with KASTO inventory control computer
• Integrated logistics solutions with interface to host system
