SYSTEM FOR STORING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ACCOMMODATED IN REELS

The invention relates to a system for storing electrical components accommodated in reels (1), having storage compartments (13) of a shelving unit (3) in which the reels (1) can be stored. A height-adjustable gripper unit (4) for feeding the reels (1) into the storage compartments (13) and removing the reels (1) from the storage compartments (13) is associated with the shelving unit (3). The reels (1) can be transported by a gripper unit (4) between a staging area of the system and the storage compartments (13). The shelving unit (3) has a cylinder-like bogie (9), which is rotatable about a vertical rotation axis (10) and on which the storage compartments (13) are tiered one above the other in multiple layers. The individual layers each have several of the circularly distributed storage compartments (13) in one plane. The gripper unit (4) is movably mounted on a stationary, vertical linear guide (14) arranged outside the bogie (9). Each of the storage compartments (13) of the bogie (9) can be moved into a rotation position which can be adjusted to the gripper unit (4), wherein the staging area (8) is arranged in the access region of the gripper unit (4). It is thus possible to make the extent of the system more compact, to simplify the mechanical systems of the shelving unit and to shorten the cycle times of the reels.
