On show for the first time in the UK at IMHX (18N150) will be the KASTO Unitower C automated storage and retrieval system. Formerly intended for holding sheet metal as well as other items such as boxes, drums and pallets, the tower is now also available for storing bar and other long stock.
It was first introduced in May this year at Future Days 2010, the German manufacturer’s in-house exhibition held at its expanded Achern headquarters.
Able to be customised from modules, the Unitower C is suitable for first-time users and is said to be an economical solution to storage in job shops, distribution centres and throughout industry.
The new Kasto BasicControl with touch panel and operator guidance provides easy management of the system and has a ‘dead-man’ control when used in semi-automatic mode.
