The system consists of a fully automated stor-age crane with two (2) telescopic forks moun-ted on a lift carriage designed to handle the printing cylinders:− - input/output to the printing

machine - input/output to the IN/OUT-fEED

STATION.

The cylinder warehouse is placed in front of the printing machine in order to grant an easy and direct cylinder access. At each product change, the operator enters the new cylinder codes and the crane brings the cylinders to the 10 floor transfer carriers.Those carriers are then moved in the produc-tion machine for the exchange with the last production. The cylinders return in the ware-house by the same reverse way. An IN/OUT-fEED station is placed at one storage end for cylinder transfers with adjacent units (washing machine, cylinder repair, etc).

The automated warehouse, with a length of 160 m (expandable to 240 m), a width of 26 m and a height of 30 m, consists of 24 physical levels of different heights, designed to suit bundles from 6-24 m length, 100-800 mm width, 50-700 mm height and ranging in weight from 0,1-6 to. There are no well delimited in-dividual locations: in order to optimize space usage to the maximum all bundles are stored continuously and double-deep on all levels with only a minimum gap in between them. Via a large system of various roller conveyors (including automatic weighing and label ap-plication possibility), chain conveyors, buffer conveyors, overhead handlings, shuttle and infeed carriers, the bundles are automatically transported into the warehouse, where they are stored by 4 huge automatic rackstackers into the optimal location within one of the 4 aisles. for parallel expedition for up to 3 trailers at the same time, the bundles will be transported partially via the same system of conveyors to finally arrive in the exactly predefined sequence for each trailer on the output buffer, from where they are transferred into the trailers. A parallel capacity of 60 inputs and 60 outputs per hour is possible, independently of the location of the individual bundle in the warehouse. besides a large number of pLCs controlling the installa-tion, the entire material flow is managed by the CTI-provided Warehouse management System based on 2 redundant servers.
