Rack-type store for bar material - has lifting beam of overhead crane kinematically located in guideways fixed to stanchions after erection

摘要

The rack type store consists of two rows of stanchions with bar racks running cross-wise, one above the other, between each pair of stanchions. An overhead crane supported on rails running along the taps of the two rows of stanchions has a lifting beam which can be raised and lowered in the aisle to handle bars in and out of the racks. The lifting beam has transverse end members which are guided in the channels of adjacent and opposing pairs of stanchions. The distinguishing feature of the inventions is that the lifting beam is kinematically guided in only two opposing stanchions (3) by rollers (34) and (35) running in the guide channels (33) and (34), which are bolted to the stanchions after the structure has been erected. Alignment errors affecting the accurate guidance of the lifting beam can therefore easily be compensated for after erection. USE/ADVANTAGE - Accurate guidance of lifting beam and reduced costs of erection of rack store for bars.
