How Does The Vertical Lift Module (VLM) System Work?

The VLM storage system use pallets as storage units. Through the lifting and horizontal movement of the pallet truck, the pallets that store the goods are taken out or sent to the appropriate cargo space in the cabinet. The absolute address recognition method is adopted in the lifting movement, which has high precision and accurate address recognition. The horizontal movement is controlled by inductive switches to meet the action requirements of the mechanism. When storing goods, there is an automatic side height device at the entrance to detect the height of the stored items, and automatically and reasonably arrange the storage space in the cabinet. Realize intelligent management and truly realize “items to people”. The vertical lifting container has manual, stand-alone automatic, and online automatic operation modes. The management monitoring system can be connected with ERP and MRPⅡ. Compared with vertical carousels, vertical lift modules are more suitable for storing items with large differences in size and irregular shapes.

Selective Vertical Lift Module (Shelf Carousel)

The intelligent Selective Vertical Lift Module also known as Shelf Carousel, has the same principles and functions as the tray type lift module. The storage unit is divided into several units horizontally. The width and depth of the storage unit are determined according to the size of the bin, and the bin is fixed by the supports on both sides. In addition to the function of lifting up and down movement and forward and backward translation movement of the elevator, it can realize the automatic storage and retrieval of the material box by moving the trolley in the horizontal and left directions. After the expansion of the stand-alone equipment, Shelving Carousel can realize online operation, docking with the conveying line, and realize the storage and retrieval of batch unit bins, and transport the bins to the instruction station through AGV or robots, thereby realizing unmanned operation. Greatly improve work efficiency and reduce production logistics operating costs. At the same time, the system will automatically record the quantity of materials and the location of the storage unit to facilitate query, traceability and automatic inventory.

The intelligent selectable vertical lifting system uses the material box as the storage unit, adopts a modular design, multiple rows or multiple layers, and effectively realizes the dense storage of materials. The fully enclosed design adopts constant temperature and humidity to meet the needs of different customers. The first mode is the docking mode between the equipment and the conveyor line and the AGV trolley, the second is the docking mode between the equipment and the conveyor line and the third is the online operation of the equipment. Realize unmanned operations such as intelligent warehousing, logistics and transshipment, and the products are widely used in the field of factory spare parts and electronic product file management and other fields.
