Overview

Automated Slab Handling systems automatically photograph slabs, store slabs & load your sawing solutions. Increase safety & productivity in your shop!

Our Automated Slab Storage systems are designed with full customization in mind, ensuring they seamlessly meet the unique space requirements of your warehouse. Choose from a range of sizes, accommodating storage needs from 1,000 slabs to over 10,000 slabs. Additionally, our systems allow for vertical (portrait) storage of quartz and ceramic slabs, effectively doubling the slabs stored in any given configuration.

Experience seamless automation as slabs are loaded effortlessly onto saws or multiple saws, minimizing labor requirements, boosting throughput, and elevating worker safety. Automating the slab loading process directly from your storage area significantly reduces material handling, streamlining operations for maximum efficiency.

Why fabricators choose it

/ 01

AUTOMATIC ROTATING A-FRAME

Automatic rotating A-frame (30+30 tons); temporary storage system to shift the entire load inside.

/ 02

TELESCOPIC LOADER (PATENTED)

Telescopic loader and horizontal conveyors to run slabs horizontally and vertically along the handling line.

/ 03

SOFTWARE STOREVOLUTION

Complete stock management software system that offers the user the possibility of knowing the exact position of each slab and, in general, all the characteristics of the slabs contained in the warehouse.

/ 04

AUTOMATIC BRIDGE AERIAL SELECTOR

24 metre span running below the manual bridge crane. The selector is equipped with a floor mounted loader with suction cups to manage each movement, such as picking, deposit, rotation and so on.

/ 05

STORAGE AREA

13x automatic storage systems (double version). 450 positions in total which can store more than 5000 slabs (2CM thickness).

/ 06

QUALITY CONTROL AREA

Automatic vertical conveyor to feed 50 double positions (100 slots) with slabs for the daily production. This buffer has been placed between two different bays in order to shift the material from one bay to the other without any lifting operation.

/ 07

TILTING TABLE TO FEED THREE LINES

The automatic tilting table, in the opposite bay, retrieves slabs to feed saws and waterjets.

/ 08

VERTICAL CONVEYOR TO PUT REMNANTS

After cutting, the operator can easily send remnants back to the warehouse (buffer) by means of this automatic vertical conveyor.
