SJF introduces Chameleon Carousel Controls™

by staff on May 7, 2008

PRESS RELEASE

Winsted, MN – (May 5, 2008) SJF Material Handling of Winsted, Minnesota has announced the introduction of Chameleon Carousel Controls™ for use with any make or model of vertical or horizontal carousel. Chameleon can be adapted to any carousel, says SJF’s President Stafford Sterner, even carousels declared obsolete or no longer supported by the manufacturer. Chameleon allows clients to once again utilize older systems they already have and put them back into operation. Chameleon was developed in response to the market’s need for an alternative custom solution that provides the necessary components needed to retrofit existing carousels with a fully functional control panel and touch screen interface.

Users can use the touch screen to select a bin location and automatically bring the part to the operations area. The carousel can also be run in Manual or Jog mode, and the system includes full diagnostics and error messages. Encoder type carousels can be “Homed” automatically, or proximity carousels can be positioned at any location.

“The key benefit Chameleon offers,” says Sterner “is the elimination of the need to purchase unwanted upgrades in order to maintain warranty and support on an existing system.Chameleon Carousel Controls provide an economical option.” For users requiring more sophisticated search and retrieval tools, SJF is currently testing a PC-based software control option due for release later this summer.

In business since 1979, SJF Material Handling Equipment (SJF.com) is a Winsted, Minnesota-based full service provider of new, used and “renewed” material handling equipment & services. Services offered include complete design, layout, engineering, installation, project management and systems integration services.
