The automated planar panel storage system manages panels stacked on the floor, under a gantry covering an area of 11 by 18 metres and 4 metres in height. Payload is 100 kg, with travels of 9500 mm on one direction and 16000 mm on the other, 1500 mm vertically and a head rotation of ±90°.
It is the right option when panels already lie spread across a large area and vertical racking is not justified. The gantry passes over the stacks, picks the requested panel and carries it to the cutting line, without a forklift and without anyone walking between the stacks.
Advantages of the automated planar panel storage system
• No rebuilding of the existing store. Panels stay stacked on the floor, exactly as they are today. Only the gantry structure is installed above them, which means minimal construction work compared with a racked warehouse.
• A large area served by a single machine. At 9500 mm on one axis and 16000 mm on the other, the gantry covers close to 200 square metres of storage. One system replaces forklift traffic across the entire storage zone.
• Storage by category, with accurate records. The system keeps the location of every material type, so the recorded stock matches the physical stock. It removes the familiar situation where a job stops because nobody can find a decor that the records say is there.
• Handles sheet metal as well as wood. Gripping with 8 silicone vacuum cups works on chipboard, MDF, plywood and on sheet metal, so the same automated planar storage system can also serve a laser cutting department, not only a furniture line.
• Four-axis drive at 380 V. The J1 and J2 axes have 3 kW motors with PHL115C-10-S2-P1 reducers, the vertical J3 axis has 4.4 kW with a brake and a KAF67A hardened tooth reducer, while the J6 rotation axis has 3 kW with a 20E reducer.

The storage system integrates with an existing CNC nesting cutting line. The cutting machine itself is not included in the delivery. A UZINEX engineer verifies that the floor area and the hall height allow the gantry to be installed.
Transport, commissioning and operator training included across Romania. 60-month warranty. Eligible for European funding (PNRR, Regional Programme, Just Transition Programme) and for public procurement through SEAP/SICAP.
