Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2006812A1] Apparatus for selectively retrieving, moving and placing articles comprises an arm that is mounted to a carriage. The carriage is mounted for movement horizontally and vertically along an array of storage locations each having a horizontal surface on which articles may rest and along which articles may be slid. The arm includes a series of telescoping tubes with over travel protection, a friction drive mechanism, a coiled steel member, a pressure switch, a home position switch and control software with error recovery. Movement of the arm is effected by a stiff strip driven by a friction drive.
