Sua produção de corte a laser em tubos está limitada pela recuperação de matéria-prima?

You invested millions in state-of-the-art fiber laser tube cutters to maximize throughput. Yet, your production data likely reveals a frustrating pattern: substantial downtime categorized as “Material Handling” or “Waiting for Stock.” The bottleneck isn’t the cutting speed; it’s the retrieval speed. The Estante telescópica cantilever solves this by positioning high-density storage directly at the “Point of Use.” By eliminating the need for forklifts to navigate from a distant central warehouse, operators can use a local overhead crane to load the laser loader in under 3 minutes, keeping the green light on your machine.   Fale com um especialista

The Hidden Cost of the “Last Mile” in Your Factory

In many fabrication shops, the journey of a 6-meter steel tube from the storage rack to the laser feeder is the most inefficient part of the workflow. If your raw material is stored in static racks away from the processing area, you are relying on a forklift driver to traverse the factory floor, dodge pedestrian traffic, and potentially wait for aisle clearance.

This internal logistics lag acts as a brake on your production capacity. Implementing roll-out cantilever racks allows you to create a dense “supermarket” of raw materials right next to the processing equipment. The machine operator gains autonomy. They don’t need to radio for a forklift; they simply crank out the specific drawer of square tubing or round pipe they need and load it immediately. It transforms storage from a passive warehouse function into an active production tool.

Organization: Eliminating the “Treasure Hunt”

Standard cantilever racks often force a “mixed stack” situation, where rarely used bundles are buried under frequently used ones. When an urgent order comes in for the bottom bundle, the “digging” begins. This wastes time and increases the chance of damaging the material during the shuffle.

With a telescopic system, every storage level is an independent drawer. You can store different grades, sizes, and shapes (like 304 stainless steel vs. mild steel) on separate levels. Access is 100% selective. There is no need to move Bundle A to get to Bundle B. This precise organization is critical for shops handling high-mix, low-volume orders where rapid changeovers are the key to profitability.

Maximizing Floor Space for Revenue-Generating Equipment

Every square meter of your factory floor should contribute to revenue. Static storage aisles are non-revenue-generating real estate. They exist solely to allow forklifts to turn around.

By switching to crane-accessed storage, you can condense your footprint significantly. A single, double-sided telescopic rack can hold dozens of tons of material in a fraction of the space required by floor stacking or standard racking. This consolidation often frees up enough floor space to add another welding station, an assembly bench, or even a new machine. You are effectively expanding your factory’s capacity without expanding the building.

Protecting Your Employee’s Backs and Your Reputation

Manual handling of long, heavy bars is a leading cause of strain injuries in the metal industry. Even prying a bundle apart to get straps underneath can be hazardous. The crank-out mechanism does the heavy work mechanically.

Furthermore, for industries like aerospace or food processing, material traceability and condition are paramount. Storing materials in organized, separated levels prevents cross-contamination (e.g., carbon steel touching stainless steel) and keeps inventory visible for easy counting. It projects a professional image to visiting clients who associate a clean, organized shop floor with high-quality output.

Perguntas frequentes

1. Does the rack require electricity to operate?
We offer both manual (hand-crank) and electric models. For loads under 3,000 kg per arm, the manual crank is surprisingly easy to use due to high-ratio gearing. Electric models are recommended for higher frequency access or extremely heavy loads (up to 5 tons).

2. Can we store short off-cuts or loose pipes in this rack?
Yes. While the arms are designed for long bundles, we can install steel pans, decking, or baskets across the arms. This creates a solid shelf surface perfect for storing short remnants, loose pipes, or odd-shaped fixtures.

3. How does this integrate with a vacuum lifter?
Perfectly. Because the drawer extends 100% out of the rack structure, there are no overhead obstructions (like the shelf above in a standard rack). A vacuum lifter can descend vertically onto the center of the load without any interference, making it the safest way to handle delicate sheets or tubes.

4. What are the maintenance requirements?
The system is designed for low maintenance. It primarily involves periodic visual inspections of the mounting bolts and occasional lubrication of the gear tracks and bearings. There are no hydraulics to leak or complex chains to tension.

5. Is customized color available to match our company branding?
Yes. While our standard industrial finish is a durable powder coat in safety blue or red, we can match your specific RAL color codes to ensure the equipment fits seamlessly into your facility’s aesthetic.
