Storage system for remnant plates RPS
Slot storage system for remnant plates of an optimisation batch in glass cutting
The slot storage system for remnant plates is a space-saving, vertical storage solution for several cutting systems. It offers increased storage capacity through multiple loadable slots and automatic remnant plate management, which reduces glass remnants and material costs. The robust design is easy to clean and can be individually adapted to production requirements.
How is the storage system for remnant plates structured?
A remnant plate storage system requires the following machines:
Glass loading station (ATL)
The glass loading station is automatically loaded by the gantry loading system. This is followed by the feeding of a cutting system. Remnant plates that arise during glass cutting are transported back to the glass loading station. This then transports the raw glass sheet with a minimum length of 1500 mm to the remnant plate storage.
Storage system for remnant plates
The storage system is a vertically arranged remnant plate storage system with several slots that can be loaded multiple times to increase storage capacity. It is designed for several cutting systems. A roller carrier running under the slots transports the plates to the slots.
Cutting systems
Remnant plates can occur during both float glass and laminated glass cutting. The remnant plates are transported back to the glass loading station.
How does the storage system for remnant plates work?
The cutting system requests the return transport of remnant plates via the stock management software. This schedules the process without cycle time losses, with the software automatically selecting the shortest transport route. The remnant plate data is stored in a database and can be viewed either manually or automatically.
Who is the remnant plate storage system suitable for?
The storage system is ideal for companies who operate several cutting systems and need to handle glass remnants efficiently. It is particularly suitable for glass manufacturers and processors who want to save space and reduce material costs by optimising their use of remnant plates.
- One storage system for several cutting and cut-to-size systems
- Space-saving compact layout thanks to vertical construction
- Vertical stock storage allows for easy cleaning
- Solid, robust and simple design
- Easy to clean thanks to a mobile transport system beneath the storage system
- Can be adapted to the relevant production requirements
- Efficient return transport of the remnant plates
The Highlights
Multiple loading of the slots increases storage capacity
In the remnant plate storage system, it is possible to place several remnant plates in each individual slot. This increases storage capacity.
Automatic remnant plate management for reducing glass remnants and material costs
Remnant plates of a raw glass sheet have a minimum length of 1500 mm. The automatic remnant plate management reduces residual glass cuts and saves material costs.
