AS/RS - Seismic damper unit for rack

The seismic damping rack is one of our anti-seismic products. In the event of an earthquake, the seismic damper units installed at the top of the racking structure absorb the seismic vibrations, which prevents the stored items from falling off the racking. Changed from the conventional arrangement, the dampers are now at the center of the S/R machine aisle. This modification has led to a decrease in the required number of dampers, and an increase in rigidity that has also brought a about decrease in size of the beams of the damper unit. These factors add up to a 20 % decrease in weight, and a 19 % decrease in CO2 emission and energy consumption.

A load bar turn was incorporated into the Flexible Drive System (FDS), allowing the carriers to switch directions efficiently. The FDS is used to convey vehicle bodies on assembly lines and can be ridden by workers as they work on the vehicle. The carrier was split into three sections and are joined with a load bar that has an articulating mechanism. The carrier is able to separate and turn, looking like an open fan, eliminating the need for a turn table. This greatly reduced the required energy, weight and the number of parts. In addition, the carriers can be completely separated to be shipped, increasing transportation efficiency.
