Hatfield, PA (July 27th, 2012) - Self-lubricating wheels on the scissor arm assemblies of Sapient Automation Avenger™ Vertical Carousels helps extend its operational life in storage and retrieval applications while reducing maintenance costs.

This is particularly valuable during busy times when the unit is accessed more than normal and if the unit is overloaded. Likewise, the new wheel is valuable in providing whisper quiet run time especially when compared to other metal, plastic and non petro-based materials. The self-lubricating wheel is a new component in the Avenger Vertical Carousel’s scissor arm design to provide even higher levels of reliability. Instead of using a single scissor arm d...

Hatfield, PA (February 17th, 2012) - Sapient Automation has released their new high density, automated storage and retrieval system literature on the Avenger™ Vertical Carousel. The carousel system literature provides key information on how organizations reduce labor, floor space requirements and inventory while providing a fast return on investment (ROI). The Avenger Vertical Carousel literature details the key elements designed to provide organizations unsurpassed levels of the carousel’s reliability and longevity. Historically Vertical Carousel Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) use one location on the chain to support two carriers. The Avenger vertical carousel's arms mount to the chain in their own exclusive position. If there is any pressure or stress, it is not passed through to the other arms. This helps eliminate the potential for any cascading effect and unit failure. In other designs, if ther...
