The present invention relates to a picking system for a job-related picking of goods in output bins, said picking system comprising a plurality of automated picking cells; comprising a first conveying system for the supply and/or discharge of the supply bins to and/or from the picking cells; and a second conveying system for the supply and/or discharge of the output bins to and/or from the picking cells, and a job management control for working through a plurality of picking jobs by controlling the first and second conveying systems and the plurality of picking cells, wherein at least one first picking cell has different goods handling properties than a second picking cell; and/or in that the job management control uses at least one first picking cell for working through different jobs and/or partial jobs than a second picking cell.

Order-picking system

The present invention shows a telescopic rail having at least one inner, middle, and outer rail element, wherein the inner and outer rail elements are each longitudinally displaceably supported at the middle rail element over rolling members that are guided in a rolling member cage. Provision is made in accordance with a first aspect that the rail elements are mechanically force-coupled via a rail synchronization arrangement such that on a longitudinal displacement of the outer rail element with respect to the inner rail element, the middle rail element is longitudinally displaced with respect to both the inner rail element and the outer rail element. Provision is made in accordance with a second aspect that at least one rolling member cage, and preferably both rolling member cages, is/are mechanically force-coupled to at least one of the rail elements via a respective rolling member cage synchronization arrangement such that a longitudinal displacement of the middle rail element with respect to the inner or outer rail elements results in a longitudinal displacement of the corresponding rolling member cage with respect to the middle rail element.

Telescopic rail

The present invention relates to a picking cell for a job-related automated picking of goods that can remove different goods from supply bins and can transfer them into an output bin in an automated manner, said picking cell comprising: an object detection device for detecting the goods in a supply bin; a gripper for removing the goods from a supply bin; and a cell control for evaluating the data of the object detection device and for a path planning and a control of the gripper, wherein the cell control controls the gripper such that different goods of a job or of a partial job are placed at a predefined position and/or with a predefined orientation in the output bin.

Order-picking cell

The present invention relates to a picking system for order-related picking of goods stockpiled in racks, with an automated picking cell including a gripper for gripping and picking the goods and a cell control unit for actuating the gripper, with a transport system for conveying the racks to a picking position near the picking cell, wherein the racks have shelves and/or containers on and/or in which goods are stored, wherein at least one shelf and/or container of a rack arranged in the picking position can be conveyed from a storage position inside the rack into a removal position in which the at least one shelf and/or container is at least partially arranged in front of the rack, wherein the gripper is actuated by the cell control unit to grip the goods stockpiled on the shelf and/or in the container while the shelf and/or container is in the removal position.

Picking system

The present disclosure shows an apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a bin, said apparatus having a first object recognition device for detecting the workpieces in the bin; a first picker for picking and removing the workpieces from the bin; a controller for evaluating the data of the first object recognition device, for path planning and for controlling the first picker; and a transport device on which the workpieces removed from the bin are placed. Provision is made that a robot arm that is used for placing the workpieces on the transport device is arranged on a pedestal above the transport device.

Apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a bin

The present disclosure relates to a storage and retrieval vehicle for a pallet storage system having at least one racking system and having at least one floor rail for moving the storage and retrieval vehicle, wherein the storage and retrieval vehicle comprises at least one linear guide, in particular a telescopic linear guide, outwardly coupled via at least one vertical guide to a base body of the storage and retrieval vehicle, and wherein the base body is rotatably arranged, in particular by 360&#xb0;, about the vertical axis. The present disclosure further relates to a pallet storage system having a corresponding storage and retrieval vehicle and to a modular floor rail for a pallet storage system.

Storage and retrieval vehicle for a pallet storage system

A gantry loader having at least one carriage travelable at a horizontal guide rail, in particular for the transport of workpieces between stations of a production system, wherein the carriage has at least one drive. The present energy is characterized in that the carriage has an energy store for the at least partial energy supply of the drive.

Gantry loader with gripper and energy store

The present disclosure shows an apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a bin, said apparatus having a first object recognition device for detecting the workpieces in the bin; a first picker for picking and removing the workpieces from the bin; a controller for evaluating the data of the first object recognition device, for path planning and for controlling the first picker; a buffering station on which the first picker places the workpieces after the removal from the bin and a positioning apparatus that more accurately positions and/or isolates the workpieces starting from the buffering station. Provision is made that the buffering station has at least one tiltable placement area that is tiltable into a slanted position via a tilting mechanism.

The present disclosure shows an apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a container, having an object recognition device for detecting the workpieces and a gripper for gripping and removing the workpiece from the container and having a control for evaluating the data of the object recognition device, for path planning and for controlling the gripper. In this respect, the apparatus is set up in a modular manner by a handling module and a feed module, wherein the handling module has the gripper kinematics, in particular a robot or an area gantry, and the feed module has an arrangement for providing a container having workpieces.

Apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a container

A device for automated removal of workpieces arranged in a container has a detector device, for the purpose of detecting the workpiece, and a picker, which can be moved via a robot arm having at least six axes, for picking and removing the workpieces from the container. The device also has controller for evaluating the data of the detector device, for path planning, and for controlling the robot arm and the picker. The robot arm has a picker arm element, with at least two further axes of movement, for moving the picker.

Apparatus for automated removal of workpieces arranged in a container

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for the automated removal of workpieces arranged in a container; having an object recognition device for detecting the workpieces and having a gripper for gripping and removing the workpieces from the container; having a control for evaluating the data of the object recognition device, for path planning and for controlling the gripper; and having a buffer station on which the gripper places the workpieces after the removal from the container, wherein the workpieces are picked up from the buffer station by a gripper and are placed down in a target placement area, with the buffer station having at least two different workpiece placement areas for placing down the workpiece in at least two different, defined placement positions.
