The Rotational Shift Device (RSD) is a high performance transfer
device that provides for the change of direction for the Supply System Carts (SSC) of a side by side configured PowerStage™ system. Each
SSC handles a single pallet at a time and follows the track system
in its operation of moving a pallet from one input or output position
to any other input or output position on the PowerTrack™. At
the end of each track system the SSC is required to change direction
which is accomplished by the RSD.
Features:
- High Performance – two SSC carts handled at a time
- Capacity to move two fully loaded SSC carts
- Controlled by PowerWCS™ -
Standard
- Low Maintenance Drive System
- Low Energy Utilization
- Continuous AC Powered
- Can be manually operated if power fails
- Allows for a more compact design than a continuous loop system
Operation:
- While in the home position an SSC cart is directed by PowerWCS™ to
travel onto the RSD.
- The RSD then rapidly rotates 180º which repositions
the SSC to the parallel track of the side by side PowerStage
system.
- Once in the new home position, PowerWCS™ will command
the SSC cart to travel off the RSD and move to it’s
next required pickup or deposit destination
- NOTE: While one SSC cart is traveling onto the RSD,
a second SSC cart can be traveling off the RSD, thus doubling
the capacity of a single RSD operation.
