The Remstar Shuttle™ XP Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is designed with automatic shutter doors that form a physical barrier between the operator and the VLM’s extractor shaft for added safety and product protection in applications. Items are delivered to the operator at an ergonomic height to reduce fatigue.
The Shuttle XP VLM is an enclosed system of vertically arranged trays, extraction platform and computerized controls for automated retrieval of stored materials.
Shutter doors allow increased inserter/extractor speeds while meeting worldwide safety standards. To protect the operator or material from accidentally falling into the Shuttle XP VLM shaft during operation, shutter doors automatically close during all vertical extractor operations. These steel parting doors form a physical barrier between the operator and the shaft and are particularly important in multi-access units that span more than one level since they allow operators on multiple floors to safely work on presented trays while the unit is delivering trays to other extraction windows.
Since doors close automatically between operations, stored items protected from unauthorized removal.
Shutter doors also protect operators from the potential health hazards of blowing cold air, dust and other airborne particulates by eliminating the “air pump” effect that occurs during extractor operation. The doors also reduce operating noise to help meet OSHA standards.
