Stacking Cradle Systems
The Stacking Cradle System UNIBLOC is the ideal solution where automatic bar storage systems are not economically feasible. Often, small storage volumes and small to medium turnover numbers only require a transport device where easy access, small footprint and uncomplicated operation are most important. The KASTO UNIBLOC system is suitable for all material length from approx. 10' to 80' and is also available for wide materials such as sheet metal or plates. It only requires an overhead crane with two hoists and therefore handling of this system is extremely simple.

Automatic Storage System for Bar Stock
The KASTO UNITOWER is designed to store bar stock, profiles or even pallets and boxes in small to medium quantities. With a load capacity of up to 11,000 lbs per cassette and a maximum of approximately 100 cassettes per system this system has an extremely high storage density that can be achieved on a very small footprint. Due to the flexibility of this system it is suitable for a variety of applications in manufacturing, service centres, job shops, window manufacturers and other industries. The KASTO UNITOWER saves floor space, optimizes the material flow, reduces handling times and increases work safety significantly. In combination with other machine tools such as saws or lathes a highly efficient "production cell" can be realized.

Automatic Storage System for Sheet Metal
The KASTO UNITOWER B is similar to the "regular" UNITOWER but is specifically designed to store sheet metal and plates. With a load capacity of up to 11,000 lbs per storage-pallet a maximum system height of up to 82 feet an extremely high storage density can be achieved on a very small footprint. The UNITOWER B offers the same advantages as the UNITOWER regarding flexibility, space savings, optimization of material flow, handling time and work safety and can also be combined with sheet metal processing machines to create a production line with fully automatic loading of the material.

Automatic Storage System for Sheet Metal
The KASTO UNITOWER C is the youngest member of the UNITOWER family. It is specifically designed to store sheet metal in smaller quantities or relatively light weights. Maximum sheet metal size is 5' x 10' (w x l) and maximum load capacity per cassette is 6,600 lbs per storage pallet. This system type is available in a semi-automatic and a fully automatic version.

Automated Storage & Retrieval System for Bar Stock and Sheet Metal
The KASTO UNIPORTAL is a flexible storage and retrieval system suitable for medium-sized businesses, or as a buffer system in manufacturing to supply machine tools with material. This system is available for bar stock or sheet metal. Load capacity per storage location is up to 6,600 lbs and because the loading and unloading stations can be placed very flexibly this system can be adapted to almost every material flow situation. Due to its modular design, the UNIPORTAL can be extended without any problems in the future. Only additional shelf blocks are needed. The crane rails will be extended, permitting the gantry crane to be used as is.

Automated Storage & Retrieval System for Bar Stock
The KASTO UNITOP storage and retrieval system is highly efficient and extremely reliable. It offers higher load capacity (11,000 lbs / cassette) and is faster than the UNIPORTAL system. Like all KASTO systems the layout can be adapted to almost every material flow situation and requirement and is suitable for applications with up to 1500 storage locations. Computer controlled, the UNITOP allows a perfect overview of inventory at any time and reaches up to 32 picks per hour. With the optional integration of an automatic bar separator and a connection to a KASTO CNC-saw or other machine tools such as lathes, a flexible, profitable manufacturing system is created.

Automated Storage & Retrieval System for Bar Stock and Sheet Metal
The Honeycomb Storage System, UNICOMPACT, features excellent space utilization, for both new and already existing buildings, i.e. the classic facilities of steel service centres. The design of the system guarantees that as much space as possible is used for material storage. The newest technology allows for up to 60 picks per hour. An extensive variety of different station designs increases the efficiency for cutting and commissioning of solids or shapes of steel, aluminum, plastic or non-ferrous materials. The KASTO UNICOMPACT is available for bar stock or sheet metal or a combination of both. Load capacity is up to 17,600 lbs. per cassette and the system is suitable for applications with 500 cassettes or more.

Fully Automated Sawing Centres
In a KASTOcenter, computer-controlled cranes feed a single bar, fully automatically, to an integrated CNC-saw and automatically restore the remnants. A storage computer keeps inventory up to date. KASTO offers this flexible manufacturing system for the sawing department complete with storage system, saw, control and service as one-source supplier! The result? The highest reliability and minimum idle times due to perfectly fine-tuned individual components. Equipped with discharge and sorting devices for the cut-off pieces, a KASTOcenter runs basically operator-free!
