Within the general scope defined in Section I, ASME B30.13 applies to storage/ retrieval (S/R) machines and associated equipment, such as aisle transfer cars and aisle equipment (as defined in para.13-0.2.1), and inter- faces with other material handling equipment covered under other standards. The provisions of this Standard applying to S/R machines shall apply equally to the construction, installation, inspection, testing, mainte- nance, and operation of aisle transfer cars and any load handling equipment which is part of or attached to S/ R machines or aisle transfer cars.
SECTION 13-0.2: DEFINITIONS
13-0.2.1 Types of Equipment storge/retrieval (S/R) machines: a machine operating on floor or other mounted rail(s) used for transferring a load from a storage compartment to a pickup and deposit (P and D) station and from a P and D station to a storage compartment. The movement of the storage/ retrieval machine may be both vertical and parallel in the aisle. A storage/ retrieval machine is sometimes called a storage crane or S/R machine, but it is different from a stacker crane. A typical unit load storage/ retrieval machine is shown in Fig. 1. aisle transfer car: a machine or vehicle for transferring an S/R machine from aisle to aisle and that normally runs ona rail or rails (see Fig. 2). automatic (S/R) machine: an S/R machine which when activated operates through a preset program cycle or cycles. operator ridden (S/R) machine: an S/R machine, with a cab attached to the machine and with an operator in the cab, whose movements can be controlled either manu- ally or automatically (see Fig. 3).
13-0.2.2 General administrative or regulatory authority: governmental agency or the employer in the absence of governmental jurisdiction. aisle, machine: space between storage compartment rows in which the S/R machine operates. aisle, pedestrian: a walkway designated for pedestrian traffic. ampacit: current carrying capacity of electric conductors expressed in amperes. appointed: assigned specific responsibilities by the employer or the employer’s representative. authorized: approved by a duly constituted administra- tive or regulatory authority. automatic or automatically;: pertains to equipment func- tions which do not require the attention of the operator during their functional operation. brake: a device, other than a motor, used for retarding or stopping motion by friction or power means. buffer: an energy dissipating device for reducing impact when a moving S/R machine reaches the end of its permitted travel, or when two moving S/R machines come into contact. bumper: an energy absorbing device for reducing impact when a moving S/R machine reaches the end of its permitted travel, or when two moving S/R machines come into contact. cab: the operator’s compartment on an S/R machine. cab, carringe mounted: an operator’s cab which is attached to the carriage of an S/ R machine and moves vertically with the carriage. carringe: that part of an S/R machine by which a load is moved in the vertical direction. carrige free fall stop: a mechanism used to prevent or stop uncontrolled descent of the carriage in event of loss of support.ASME B30-13 pdf download.
