Structure of Rotary Racks
Vertical rotary racks are used for the storage and appropriation of small parts. Vertical rotary racks are also known as paternoster systems. The items are transported directly to an operator using a circulating movement according to the goods-to-person principle. Vertical rotary racks, also known as load swing tanks, provide an efficient and fast supply of goods. The tanks are guided to one or more picking points using an operating device or a control system. They are also rotatably mounted between two vertically running chain strands. The chains are usually driven by electric motors. Each tank can be removed and inserted independently of the others. This makes the system suitable for all common storage methods such as FiFo (First in First out) and LiFo (Last in First out).
