LEWISTON, MAINE, JUNE 20, 2005 - Diamond Phoenix is pleased to announce the addition of two heavy-duty vertical products to its suite of order fulfillment technologies. The INTERMAT and TOWERMAT, offered through an agreement with INTERTEX of Germany, allow Diamond to provide automated storage and retrieval solutions to an even broader market.
The INTERMAT Heavy-Duty Carousel is designed to store large specialized goods, such as cylinders, beams, roll goods, cable reels, and tubes. Built to accommodate unique load and facility requirements, the INTERMAT is available in a variety of models, including gantry/bridge crane, T-bridge, serpentine, and may also include loops, guided carriers, or removable cassettes.
The TOWERMAT Heavy-Duty Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is a tray delivery system for bar goods, sheet storage, pallet storage, and other heavy items like molds and tool dies. Divisible carriers allow diverse materials to be stored within the same carrier, while still keeping them separate from one another. The TOWERMAT’s ability to handle even larger product depths and heights than the INTERMAT allows Diamond Phoenix to offer an automated storage and retrieval system for almost any situation.
Customers that use the INTERMAT and TOWERMAT carousels will experience productivity increases, safety improvements, reduced floor space requirements for storage, and better inventory control. Both machines make maximum use of the vertical height of a building, providing compact storage for large, heavy goods and reducing the amount of occupied floor space up to 75%. In addition, reversible drives (allowing for the shortest path for retrieval) give operators fast, easy access to goods, which are delivered at ergonomically correct heights. Finally, because items are stored safely within the unit, products are protected from damage and theft.
“The addition of the INTERMAT and TOWERMAT allows Diamond Phoenix to provide creative and valuable solutions for even the most challenging customer application requirements,” said Paul Roy, Product Manager.
Diamond Phoenix continues to expand its line of order fulfillment technologies in order to provide companies with the right solution for a given situation. In addition to the INTERMAT Heavy-Duty Carousel and the TOWERMAT Heavy-Duty Vertical Lift Module, Diamond also offers the POWERdepot™ Vertical Carousel, Diamond Horizontal Carousel, the SMARTdepot™ Vertical Lift Module, the MaxTractor™ Automatic Extractor, and DirectPick™ Light-Directed, Voice-Directed, and RF Picking Systems.
