Abstract

Industry is becoming more and more automated and the deployment of robots for work improvement and production time reduction has been crucial in the evolution of the industry itself. At the storage level, the implementation of robots is practically mandatory. These robots have improved the speed, safety and organization of industrial warehouses. However, at the workshops, frequently, tools are still stored and organized manually on conventional shelves. In this work project it was studied the development of an automated warehouse based on a storage machine for automatic rental of VHS and/or DVD cassettes. It is intended to study the implementation of an automatic storage cabinet adapted for storing small tools and consumables, such as cutting inserts, screws, nuts, washers, etc., in a much faster and more organized way. The main functions of the storage machine were studied in order to solve the challenges placed by the new usage: the dimension limitations imposed by the cabinet shelfs and the differences in weight of the new material to be stored and transported. In its original application, the handling robot is expected to carry about 550 g while a box full with screws can easily exceed 2 kg. This paper presents the solution proposed to solve this problem, and presents the envisaged future works.
