MTAB ASRS - 8 is a standalone system and can be controlled in an FMS/CIM environment.

ASRS consists of 8 cells in single column of 8 rows. It is expandable up to 48 cells in 6 columns. It consists of a pneumatic arm on a platform to push and pull the pallet. The platform is traversed in X and Y axes by belt and AC servo motors and is controlled by micro controller. The ASRS is provided with a teach box, which has homing, jogging, teaching cell positions, auto and manual execution of storage and retrieval functions. The ASRS frame is built aesthetically using natural anodized aluminium profiles. The X, Y and Z guides are fitted with LM Guides for smooth travel. The ASRS is provided with a transfer station to accept the pallet from ASRS platform or the conveyor or AGV.

The transfer height is adjustable according to the height of the conveyor or AGV or linear slide. The ASRS emulates industrial storage and retrieval application. Using offline programming software, the ASRS functions can be programmed by a PC and transferred to the control through RS232C.
