Abstract: A picking means for picking goods from pallets removed from a storehouse, and a filling means for filling the pallets with incoming goods and storing them in the storehouse, are connected by a pallet transport means. When goods are to be delivered, the storage space created by picking goods from the pallets is detected. Pallets in which storage space is detected are transported by the transport means to the filling means, where they are filled with incoming goods of sizes which match their storage space, and are then stored in the storehouse. Goods are thereby stored in the storehouse promptly, and the filling density in the storehouse is increased.

Abstract: An apparatus, for controlling dynamic characteristics of a press load, facilitates changing the balance between a hydraulic pressure and a pneumatic pressure in a hydroblank holder, wherein a first pneumatic device which supplies a standard pneumatic pressure with which a predetermined dynamic load can be obtained and a second pneumatic device which supplies a pneumatic pressure higher or lower than the standard pneumatic pressure are provided in parallel in a pneumatic device which supplies pneumatic pressure to the hydroblank holder and the first and second pneumatic devices are switched in accordance with a press stroke and, when the switching is made to low pressure, an accumulator is depressurized by the operation of a depressurizing device.
