Storage and Retrieval Machines and Pallet-Shuttle-System
DAMBACH Lagersysteme has been operating successfully in the areas of intralogistics, warehousing technology, and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) since 1974. DAMBACH was one of the first companies worldwide to install curve-going storage and retrieval machines in a high bay warehouse and is the global market leader in this market segment.
Automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) consist of various installations, warehousing technology, machinery, and the related organizational elements. A defined storage capacity is assured by material and data flows. The ASRS is therefore a key element in intralogistics.The Tasks of a Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)
The aims of an automated storage and retrieval system are to optimize the actual material flows and reduce the stocks held by improving the organizational structures. Irrespective of the type of warehouse, DAMBACH ASRS help to ensure that stocks are always ready for dispatch and fluctuations in demand are absorbed. Depending on the solution adopted, operations can be carried out with storage and retrieval machines or shuttle systems. Choosing the right warehousing technology not only shortens access times and transport distances (which improves warehouse efficiency), but also increases throughput and flexibility. Automation in a warehouse can ensure a consistently high standard of deliveries.
Stacker Cranes for Small Parts
-
DAMBACH offers various miniload stacker cranes for the storage and transport of small load carriers. The storage of small loads up to 100 kg and an overall height of 12 m as well as loads up to 300 kg and an overall height of 27 m is possible.
Depending on the application, an efficient aluminum design or a robust steel construction is used. Depending on the requirements, this optimizes energy consumption and minimizes the forces occurring in the rack and rail system. The compact design results in particularly low approach dimensions, both horizontally and vertically. This makes DAMBACH small parts storage and retrieval machines suitable for perfect space utilization. Thanks to the development and production of our own load handling devices, a wide range of load carriers such as cardboard boxes, containers and trays can also be reliably stored and retrieved. Depending on the load, a combination telescopic table, box grabber or clamping gripper are available.

Industry and Commerce
The wide range of products guarantees you the necessary throughput with optimum space utilisation whether using aisle-bound or curve-going rail-guided storage and retrieval machines (SRMs). If required, subsequent performance upgrades are even possible with the models of the modular design – straight out of the box, so to speak. Such upgrades can be achieved by retrofitting additional drives, for example. Single-wheel, twin-wheel or a third drive unit plus toothed rack mechanisms are available. That results in graduated, application-based SRM upgrades.
Aisle-Bound Storage Retrieval Machines: the MONO Series

Such upgrades can be achieved by retrofitting additional drives, for example. Single-wheel, twin-wheel or a third drive unit plus toothed rack mechanisms are available. That results in graduated, application-based SRM upgrades.
The MONO and MULTI rail-guided storage and retrieval machines are available in single- and twin-mast versions. The choice of an optimum SRM depends on the unit loads and the requirements. Therefore, a bespoke solution is developed for every type of load. The variable design is particularly advantageous for heavy loads.
The DAMBACH MINI-LOAD reveals its strengths when it comes to the storage of goods in automated small-parts warehouses. Its low approach dimensions, speed and secure transport make this storage and retrieval machine a convincing answer for the handling of small-parts containers, trays and boxes. With single- and twin-mast versions available, it therefore represents a reliable, flexible solution for every warehouse. Storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) play a key role when it comes to efficiency and performance in high bay or small-parts warehouses. Therefore, in order to meet the highest demands, SRMs must be reliable, long-lasting, fast, precise, safe and energy-efficient. But more than that, storage and retrieval machines from DAMBACH are the convincing answer because of their flexibility right across virtually all storage systems. Together with load-handling equipment developed and produced by us, our rail-guided SRMs become the key element in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Another benefit of the high-quality parts and components is their excellent ease of servicing. Our warehousing solutions are always 100% DAMBACH solutions, meaning that we can respond flexibly to complex or challenging demands.
Curve-going rail-guided SRMs
-
From Aisle to Aisle: MULTI Rail-Guided Storage and Retrieval Machines
Direct Access to Every Storage Aisle
The rail-guided storage and retrieval machines of our MULTI series are curve-going models and can reach every storage aisle effortlessly via special rails and points—directly, quickly, and safely, and without the need for a costly mechanical traverser. So operations are not interrupted. This clever solution for changing aisles improves access times considerably in any warehouse system.
When equipped with suitable load handling elements, MULTI storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) are extremely versatile. They can be supplied as single or twin mast versions for handling practically any type of load, from drinks to car bodies. DAMBACH designs and produces its own load handling attachments tailored perfectly to the respective lifting unit. For example, double-deep telescopic forks for utilizing the available space more effectively, or rotating/traverse forks with adjustable tines for handling closed pallets. Therefore, MULTI rail-guided SRMs are suitable for a whole range of applications in automated high bay warehouses.
Intelligent Systems Ensure Availability and a Long Service Life
Intelligent controls coordinate the combined operation of the individual storage and retrieval machines. When several cranes are in use, the operating strategy can be preset via parameters. That guarantees high availability through variable aisle allocation. And in the case of malfunctions, one unit can take over the tasks of another. A further increase in performance is possible at any time by adding more SRMs. The SRMs of the MULTI series also set standards when it comes to wear as the patented rail geometry corrects the lateral displacement of the chassis on the curves. Compared with conventional rail systems, the running wheels and the rails are therefore ideally protected so you benefit from safe, low-wear guidance around the curves.

Load-Handling Devices
-
From Telescopic Fork to Shuttle
DAMBACH Lagersysteme has been developing and producing its own load handling equipment for stacker cranes and conveyor technology for over 45 years. Possible storage goods include containers, crates, cartons, trays, lattice boxes and pallets. Depending on the load carrier, various load-handling devices are used, such as telescopic forks, telescopic tables, belt conveyors, box grabbers, roller conveyors, chain conveyors and shuttle vehicles. For problematic cargo, additional lifting, pushing or tilting devices are used. The need for functional reliability and durability has always been the company's top priority. Load handling devices form the heart of its storage and retrieval machines in particular, and help to ensure the safe and precise handling of loading aids. In conveyor systems, load-handling devices are used in particular with distribution trolleys. They can also be used in combination with other conveyor technology elements (e.g. vertical conveyors or transfer units). High reliability and short transfer times are the key characteristics of all DAMBACH load-handling devices.
Multi-Deep Storage
The Extension Arm of the Storage and Retrieval Machine
The DAMBACH COMPACT SHUTTLE for high bay warehouses, makes pallet storage and retrieval even more efficient. Used in conjunction with rail-guided storage and retrieval machines, the COMPACT SHUTTLE enables warehouse operators to achieve really compact, multi-deep pallet storage. To do this, the storage lanes are fitted with rails on which the shuttles can run. Shuttle and storage and retrieval machine (SRM) therefore form one logistical unit: the shuttle runs on the rails to the allotted storage position where it sets down or picks up a pallet, and the SRM transports the shuttle to the correct storage or retrieval point in the warehouse.
Communication between the parent vehicle and the COMPACT SHUTTLE is by way of a point-to-point radio link. This link monitors itself permanently to guarantee maximum communication reliability.
Especially a combination of transfer cars and COMPACT SHUTTLE can reduce the energy usage, while maintaining a high throughput capacity. This way the DAMBACH COMPACT SHUTTLE can demonstrate it´s strengths in the pallet-handling sector.

Modernisation: optimising existing warehouses and plants
Flexible responses to suit different life cycles
Even a warehouse system can become out of date. Or changing boundary conditions could make it necessary to modify or optimise a warehouse or add new functions. And the individual components of a warehouse system have different “lifetime expectancies”. Whereas the mechanical components might remain in use for 20 years or more, the efficiency of a control system could need upgrading after just 10 years or even earlier. In other words, some components in a warehouse age faster, thus constituting a risk and curbing progress.
DAMBACH has been established in the warehouse systems market for 40 years. The fact that the market is constantly changing and suppliers come and go is therefore irrelevant. Because our efficient modernisation concepts can also optimise installations when their manufacturers have gone out of business or no longer provide support for warehousing technology. This is where DAMBACH can exploit design and production synergies and offer convincing concepts for all modernisation projects.Making materials flows fit for the future

Efficient small parts storage in the tightest space
Automated small parts storage for a wide range of applications – whether as picking-, buffer- or distribution storage. A variety of small parts carriers and small containers can be stored efficiently with the LOGI-KIT MINI. The system is thereby as flexible as your requirements. Load weights can vary between a few grams up to 300 kg. With storage heights from 3 to 27 m, it can be integrated easily into many buildings.
High goods throughput means that the system is perfectly suitable as a "micro-fulfillment" system in the tightest space. Cartons, Euro containers and trays are automatically transported to the picking station. The "goods-to-person" principle leads to the elimination of unproductive order picking way times and time needed for order fulfillment is reduced. Ergonomically designed workspaces with a tilting and lifting mechanism thereby help further increase picking performance. Various picking systems can be fully integrated, including Pick-by-Scan, Pick-by-Light and Pick-by-Vision. Errors are thus avoided and the storage- and picking process becomes more efficient and economical.
Depending on the application, LOGI-KIT MINI can adapt to your special requirements. In addition to allowing for a variety of containers, the LOGI-KIT MINI adapts to your needs for storage capacity and performance. The shelf storage and retrieval machine is therefore available in various configurations for storage at single-, double- or multi-depth. In addition, a number of products can be stored in one space for increased product variety. Random access to each product in the assortment is always maintained.
