Q: How does a horizontal carousel compare to a VLM in pick speeds?

Pick speeds vary highly, depending on the distribution of material within the storage system, the line item per order density, and any self-imposed process times, like bagging, tagging, or weigh counting items. Both systems can pick 130-550 items picks per hour if configured to do so. Again, ceiling height should be the main consideration, together with other logistical and operational aspects.

Q: For which applications is the horizontal carousel a better choice than a vertical lift module?

The biggest factor is the ceiling height in your facility. Choose a horizontal carousel if your ceiling is below 3m. For higher ceilings, a vertical lift module is a better choice. But there are other key factors to keep into consideration such as the size and weight of the parts being handled as well as the business cycle and fulfillment requirements.

Q: Does a horizontal carousel have imbalance issues similar to those on a vertical carousel?

No. Each bin/carrier is independently supported on the Modula Horizontal Carousel and the operation is not affected whether a bin is at its maximum weight or empty. It is recommended to avoid loading the unit to its 544 kg maximum capacity regularly because this will cause premature wear.
