Telescopic Fork Unit D3-90-220-2400 in High-Voltage Component Manufacturing

Reliable Transport of Special Racks in Automated High-Bay Warehouses

The manufacturing of components for high-voltage substations places demanding requirements on intralogistics in terms of weight, geometry, and process reliability. Our telescopic fork unit D3-90-220-2400 is installed on a stacker crane and handles the transport of special racks designed specifically to carry these high-voltage components. The unit is precisely matched to the available installation space of the stacker crane and integrates into the automated material flow without additional interfaces. Its targeted configuration for the respective load carriers ensures stable and repeatable handling even under demanding load profiles.

Safe Loading of Vacuum Furnaces Under Process-Critical Conditions

A key application of the telescopic fork unit is the loading of vacuum furnaces in which the high-voltage components undergo thermal treatment. With a stroke of 4,800 mm and a unit length of 2,400 mm, the telescopic fork unit reaches even deeply positioned furnace openings safely and enables the controlled transfer of loaded special racks without the need for manual intervention or additional conveyor technology. Positional accuracy and repeatability are critical in this process step, as deviations can disrupt furnace operation. The telescopic fork unit reliably meets these requirements and is designed for continuous use in industrial environments.

Customer-Specific Engineering for a Demanding Application

The solution was developed to precisely match the customers requirements. The result is a system that integrates seamlessly into the existing production process and supports high system availability. Like all AFB solutions, this telescopic fork unit was engineered for reliable 24/7 continuous operation.
