Solid Wood Handling

The SWS solid wood storage system is the optimal system for the storage of glulam and solid construction wood poles.
Solid wood logs are stored in stanchion compartments and can then be fed to cross-cut saws or joinery lines. Furthermore, there is the possibility of simple commissioning of customer packages or complex package formation after joinery.  
These systems impress with their high flexibility. The stanchion compartments can easily be adapted to the desired log widths. Several logs can be stored in one layer per stanchion compartment. This significantly increases the performance of the system compared to conventional one-dimensional storage. 
The integration of heavy conveyor technology is essential for this type of plant. Chain conveyors or roller conveyors can be easily integrated into the system.

The suction traverse has been designed in such a way that several bars can be picked up at the same time. Depending on the dimensions of the individual bars, one bar or up to 5 bars can be suctioned at the same time.
The individual suction circuits are automatically controlled according to the requirements or the dimensions and number of bars. With only one stroke several bars can be transported and thus also a lot of energy is saved.
With this solution, the system achieves a significant increase in performance. Cracked bars can also be picked up and transported with the specially developed suction cups.

Other dimensions possible after consultation and technical inspection.

The solid wood storage system SWS can be realized as a floor storage system but also as a two-storey version. The standard solution is a warehouse on one level. Depending on the required performance of the system, one or two manipulators can be used.
The next step is a two-level facility. High hall heights are optimally used by adding an intermediate floor to the system and the resulting upper area can also be used for storage.
This area can be used mainly for B&C goods or also for residual bars. The lower stacking heights even allow storage without stanchions.

Depending on the desired application, a wide variety of machines can be linked. Whether simple cross-cut saws or complex joinery centers - everything is possible. Not only the feeding of the system, but also the further handling with finished individual parts is possible. Depending on the set-up, residual parts can also be stored again. The connection of the machines is realized via modern interfaces.  The open interfaces can also be used by ERP systems. All storage and material data are available to other systems.

This machine is not only a warehouse but also helps the environment with the chosen technology. The drive and vacuum technology was chosen so intelligently that the required electricity was reduced to a minimum. The vacuum is generated directly where it is needed. Any losses are avoided. The compact yet stable design allows the use of comparatively low drive power. By accommodating several bars, the number of travel movements is drastically reduced.
