Smart Shelf — 13"/15" Double-Sided
Double-sided 13"/15" storage — up to 896 reels per unit, with the same 3-second guided pick.

Overview
The double-sided 13"/15" shelf stores reels on both faces of a 700 mm deep unit — up to 896 reels in a four-layer configuration for 8 mm tape, with the same 3-second pick once a position is indicated. Reinforced shelving covers the full 8–72 mm tape range. It suits sites that want the largest reel buffer per unit, or a single shelf that serves two adjacent SMT lines from opposite sides.
