High Density Storage Systems Mobilex HD

Technical Specifications General Description The Montel electrical Mobilex HD compact storage system consists of shelving mounted on motorized carriages (See figure 1). Different racking types can be used depending on your application. Multiple motors are located in the carriage depending on load and dimensions of a range. Motor locations are indicated on the side of each carriage by the symbol ( M ). In case of electric power failure, ranges can be moved manually by a ratchet tool. Each group of ranges is called a Module and includes: a fixed range, a master mobile range and at least one secondary...

The mobile carriage shall travel at approximately 20 feet per minute. At this speed, motor RPM shall be not less than 7.5 RPM. 1.2 Load capacity Each electrical mobile storage rack unit shall be capable of supporting a live load of 30,000 pounds for a (2) wheels system and 60,000 pounds for a (4) wheels system (see Figure 2). 2.0 Carriages 2.1 Motors and drives Each carriage is motorized with a shaft-mounted motor. The quantity of motors is in relation to the load to be moved. An override coupling in front of the system is supplied with every system. All wheels on one side are driven by 2" OD...

to move unbalanced loaded systems without any fishtailing effect. Each motor is equipped with a brake and a hand brake release in front of each mobile unit. The brake releases are attached to a limit switch that shut the system down when the brake is released. 2.2 Trolleys Each trolley is constructed with several pieces welded together and painted with baked enamel. Girders are welded to the main frame to optimize trolley capacity. The C-shaped members are made of 10" high steel (11Ga thick SAE 1020). Base plates of 3/16" thick steel are welded on top to support racking. Each wheel has a minimum...

3.0 Tracks The track members and spacing is defined by the racking dimensions. A rail is installed under each racking post and is set with non-shrinking grout under its full length. Tracks are either guide or flat. The guide type is grooved in the center with a gap of 5/8" and is 1" x 3" wide. They are made of SAE 1045 steel and are set by means of a base plate (see Figure 4). FIGURE 4

4.0 Anti-tip (optional) Each unit is supplied with an anti-tip device to prevent any tipping from lateral load applied to the system. These are made of a 3/16" thick hook attached to each side of the carriages and slide inside a C shaped channel installed beside rail. Anti-tip devices will be installed at proper locations to give maximum safety. 5.0 Electrical power and wiring Each module is powered by a three-phase 60 Hz, 460 volts source (600 volts for Canada). All wiring between each range is made of a flexible cord suspended by a steel cable. All wiring is plug-in type. 6.0 Standard control...

6.4 RESET LIGHT These red lights are located on the RESET BUTTON on the control panel of the master and secondary mobile ranges (see Figure 5). They have two functions: A) A blinking RESET light indicates that the opened aisle can not be closed. All OPEN BUTTONS are deactivated. To open a new aisle the RESET BUTTON located next to FIGURE 5A FIGURE 5B

the open aisle ( at either end of a range when available) must be used. The RESET LIGHT then turns off. B) The RESET LIGHT is permanently illuminated. This indicates that a safety device has been activated either in the aisle next to the RESET LIGHT, or in the corresponding range. 6.5 EMERGENCY MUSHROOM BUTTON In case of an emergency situation, any "PANIC BUTTON" in a module can be used to immediately stop all carriage movement (there is one PANIC BUTTON per moving range) (see figure 5B). This control is totally independent from the electronic control and shuts down the main electric power line....

The ranges will start to move away from the obstructed aisle. The RESET LIGHT (4) of the obstructed aisle will then blink indicating that the access to the aisle is safe. Remove the obstruction and resume normal system operation. 7.4 STOPPING MOVING RANGES All moving ranges of a module can be stopped in three different ways: A) By pressing any STOP BUTTON (5) from any end control panel. B) By cutting any infrared beam running along the bottom sides of the carriages. C) By pressing any mushroom-shaped EMERGENCY BUTTON (6) from any end control panel. 7.5 IN CASE OF ELECTRIC POWER FAILURE In case...

7.7 EMERGENCY STOP ANY EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON (6) can be used to immediately stop all carriage movement within a module. After an emergency stop, the operation procedure: "TURNING ON A MODULE" must be followed. 7.8 MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION WITH AUTOMATIC RESET If for any reason the driving mechanism of a carriage becomes jammed, the motor thermal overload protection will trip. Electric power to the carriage motor(s) will immediately be turned off. The carriage RESET LIGHT (4) led will illuminate and the display will show MOTOR OVERLOAD WAIT FOR RESET. The motor thermal overload protection will...

Each aisle control can be equipped with a key switch to lock an aisle open. The key can be removed in lock an unlock position. As long the aisle is locked it can not be closed. 8.4 IN AISLE EMERGENCY BUTTON PANIC BUTTONS can also be located within each aisle. 8.5 HUMAN PRESENCE DETECTION SYSTEM This system detects the infrared thermal energy emitted by the human body. The Human Presence Detection System will detect the presence of humans in an aisle without any mechanical device which means it needs practically no maintenance. In addition, the HPDS is a totally passive safety system which means...
