Tecoi USA’s Stocktec automatic plate storage and processing system increases overall productivity by reducing operation time and expanding storage capacity. The independent tray system is designed to store and dispense materials immediately based on production needs. Stocktec is designed to work well with all Tecoi USA large format plate processing machines, as well as almost any plate processing system. By combining automated material handling with large format plate cutting and machining, users benefit from an advanced total plate processing solution. It can be integrated with up to ten cutting machines or function as a standalone storage system.
Automated Stocktec systems are designed with a lift that sends trays to pre-assigned destinations in the storage tower. With robust design, Stocktec stores up to 25 tons of material per tray. It then processes material by unloading and reloading processed plates for storage. With the Stocktec system production never stops. Material operation efforts are maximized, while production time and costs are minimized. Stocktec is easily customized to any production need. The trays can be configured for storage, laser cutting, plasma cutting, oxyfuel cutting, machining, or a combination of several functions within the same system.
Stocktec is well-suited for Industry 4.0 environments, enabling full automation and seamless integration of the production process, including high-level systems such as MES. Equipped with a Fanuc CNC, it efficiently tracks stock and remnants, simplifying plate handling and the overall tracking system.
The Stocktec system can be paired with the Loadtec system for automatic loading and unloading of the cutting table. It can also be integrated with sorting robots to further enhance efficiency and automation.
Tecoi USA designs and manufactures customized solutions for a wide array of companies and industries that comprise a wide range of sectors in metal processing– including steel service centers, steel construction, heavy duty machinery, the oil and gas industry, shipyards, and for wind power.
