Jungheinrich UPC - Manual

The Jungheinrich Compact Storage System
with UPC (Under Pallet Carrier) – consisting
of carrier, carrier truck and channel rack-
ing – facilitates optimum utilisation of
storage space. UPC racking provides room
in height and width for several pallet chan-
nels. The low height utilisation per channel
level also allows effective use of the avail-
able storage height. Any
Jungheinrich
stacker with sufficient residual capacity
can be used as carrier truck.
The UPC is particularly effective during re-
peated storage and retrieval in the same
pallet channel – e.g. when buffering a
large quantity of the same pallets. The
UPC is put on the forks of the carrier truck
and used in the pallet channel where it
travels independently under the stored
pallets without being connected to the
carrier truck. After putting down the first
pallet on the UPC rail in the racking chan-
nel and pressing the start button on the
operating console, the process control car-
ries out all necessary travel and lift move- ments independently. Sensors recognise
the position of stored pallets. Storage and
retrieval of new pallets then takes place
with no danger of collision.
Operating terminal and process control
communicate via bi-directional radio link
run on the registration-free ISM band
(433 MHz). The operator picks up another
pallet while the carrier is travelling, puts it
down at the channel start and a new work
cycle can begin. Retrieval is carried out
accordingly.
