Application Challenges
One of TKS’s most recent projects involved designing an automated storage and retrieval system for a customer .
The application required two robots to process parts , and the need to move products vertically up to 30 feet (9 m) and horizontally over 60 feet (18 m) through long , highly dynamic strokes in continuous operation. Additionally, the system had to handle loads of up to 136 kg .
The project required not only reliable equipment that could withstand such a demanding process, but also 1.5 mm accuracy and high speed.
Faced with this challenge, Turn-Key Solutions had to decide whether to build a custom solution in-house or purchase an existing product that met the application needs. After carefully evaluating the options, TKS recognized the complexity of the task and the need for a reliable, high-performance actuator.
Discover how Rollon solutions were the protagonists of this case study, managing to satisfy all the application requirements requested by TKS.
