Module description

The MOVIKIT® CombiTelescope is a software module for implementing load handling devices (LHD) of the type "combi telescope". Load handling devices of this type are mainly used in automated small-parts warehouses (AS/RS) for storing and retrieving boxes, for example, in and out of storage racks. See also the application example Storage/retrieval system (SRS). The implemented combi telescope consists of a telescope and up to four belts. The following figure shows a schematic representation of such a load handling device:

The specifications for the storage depth, box dimensions and the dynamics parameters for the axis group (telescope and belt) are made via the fieldbus, described with the process data interface (PD interface). For the lower-level individual axes (telescope and belt), the MOVIKIT® Gearing software module is used.
