for warehousefor heavy loadsfor tubes

Product description
MAXI STC is ICAM's stacker crane: an AS/RS system engineered for intensive handling and storage of long materials. It is designed for operations exceeding 400 load units where continuity, throughput and precise flow control are required for profiles, bars, tubes and industrial extrusions.

Main operational advantages

• Engineered to manage hundreds of load units in an orderly, efficient way while maintaining consistent performance at high volumes.
• Fully automated handling: loading and unloading cycles are automatic with transfer of load units to operational bays without manual intervention inside the storage area.
• Simultaneous operation: capable of handling two load units in the same operating cycle, reducing idle time and eliminating empty runs.
• Direct integration with production lines, machine tools and ERP to feed cutting and processing lines on demand.
• Fully fenced handling area: material access is exclusively through loading/unloading bays for maximum operator safety.

Applications and materials managed

• Aluminum profiles
• Steel profiles
• Solid and hollow bars
• Metal tubes
• Industrial extrusions
• Drawn bars
• Long semi-finished products
• Bundles of bars

Management software
Control is managed by ICON, ICAM's web-based software: a multi-language, multi-machine application designed for WMS and ERP interfacing. ICON provides real-time inventory control, optimized path planning and fast response times.

Integration and operation

• Integration with ERP and production lines for just-in-time material delivery.
• Touch-screen console with intuitive graphical interface, Windows-based.
• Modular structure with configurable options and multiple material handling strategies.
