The Kasten Tornado is a computer-controlled, fast, energy-efficient and quiet lift-type storage and handling system that maximizes storage space utilization with minimal floor space requirements.
The system operates on a "product to user" principle, reducing the need for operator movement and waiting times, as well as shortening picking times and minimising errors. The Tornado storage machine provides a highly efficient and energy-efficient storage solution, which also ensures a high level of safety.
The Tornado automated warehouse is adaptable to different operating environments and offers the following advantages:
- Saves up to 75% floor space
- Reduces storage time by up to 65%
- Reduces storage time by 65% and reduces floor space requirements by up to 65% Reduces storage time by up to 65% Reduces storage time by up to 99.9%
-reduced power consumption
-easy-to-use Windows-based interface
-product trays can be added or removed as required
-light indicator reduces errors
-multiple access slots allow use on different floors
-easy and paperless order processing optimises warehouse logistics
Technical specifications
1. Goods tray
Tornado platforms are available in fixed position (FTP) and height optimised (HOT). The height optimised model maximises the use of space, while the large platforms speed up picking by up to 20%.
2. Strap
Vertical movement is achieved by two toothed belts that ensure stability and accuracy.
3. Altimeter
The height gauge optimises space utilisation and the safety light curtain increases safety.
4. Servo motor
The horizontal movement is precisely controlled by a servo motor.
5. Shaft sensor
A shaft sensor monitors safe operation and prevents errors.
6. Motor
The motor includes positioning feedback for improved accuracy.
7. Upholstery
The machine is neatly upholstered and customizable with different colors and logos. The panels are lightweight and easy to remove for maintenance.
8. WMS / TCPlus Software
Software integrates with all ERP systems and optimises inventory management.
9. PC-based control system
Industrial PC control provides a Windows-based interface, remote support and versatile connectivity options.
10. Elevator system
Tornado's lift system is servo-driven and uses chain drive and belts for vertical movement, enabling heavy loads (up to 9000 kg).
