Patent number: 10589928Abstract: A storage and retrieval machine for depositing a load into, or removing a load from, a rack includes a horizontal drive, a vertical drive, and a lifting carriage comprising a load-accommodating unit having a plurality of adjacent, telescopic accommodating fingers that can be individually controlled. Each finger includes a carrier element that is fixed relative to the lifting carriage, a middle finger element, and an end finger element. The middle and end finger elements can be retracted and extended in parallel in both longitudinal axis directions relative to the carrier element. A linear drive element coupled to the middle finger element moves the middle finger element in a direction of its longitudinal axis. At least one coupling element provided on the middle finger element engages the end finger element and converts motion of the middle finger element into an additional motion of the end finger element in the same direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2015Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Swisslog Evomatic GmbHInventor: Herbert Aschauer

Patent number: 7281608Abstract: The invention relates to a rack serving device (1) with a load-bearing means (4) displaceable in the height direction of a mast (2), the mast (2) being guided by means of bogie assemblies (7, 8) on bottom and top guide tracks and mounted so as to be displaceable along the guide tracks by means of a bottom and top friction-locking displacement drive (13, 14). The bottom and the top adjusting mechanisms are guided by means of height and lateral guide elements on the guide track and are designed to be displaceable relative to the guide tracks by means of a drive system (33).Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: TGW TransportgerÃĪte GmbHInventors: Rudolf Hansl, Thomas Schwingshandl, Wolfgang Ensinger, Herbert Aschauer
