Mobile Storage and Retrieval Vehicle.The Webb-Triax MS/RV, a man-on-board storage and retrieval vehicle, combines the high-density storage capabilities on an automated storage and retrieval system Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (often referred to as ASRS or AS/RS) refers to a variety of computer-controlled methods for automatically depositing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations. with the flexibility and economy of turret-type fork trucks. The vehicle provides greater space efficiency and maximum flexibility operating in narrow aisles, storing and retrieving loads over 60-ft high. Increased stability of heavy loads at maximum height is another feature. While in the aisle, guide rollers at the base of the vehicle engage a simple channel-type track in the floor, and the guide wheels at the top of the mast mast, large metal or timber pole secured vertically or nearly vertically in a ship, used primarily for supporting sails and rigging. The mast is as old as sailing vessels, and the oldest sailboats depicted (those of ancient Egypt) had a small mast placed forward and engage a powered overhead guide tube. This helps to ensure the stability as well as the absolute alignment of the vehicle in the aisle. Outside of the aisle, the operators can quickly drive the vehicle from one storage aisle to another. During in-aisle operation, the vehicle is powered by overhead conductor conductor Any of various substances that allow the flow of electric current or thermal energy. A conductor is a poor insulator because it has a low resistance to such flow. bars and, outside the aisle, by onboard Refers to a chip or other hardware component that is directly attached to the printed circuit board (motherboard). Contrast with offboard. See inboard. batteries.-Webb-Triax Co. |
