ABSTRACT:
In an automated warehouse for storing cartridge tapes, a plurality of the cartridge tapes are accommodated in horizontal cases as arrayed in rows and columns. A plurality of shelves each adapted to support a plurality of the horizontal cases thereon as aligned horizontally, are in turn supported from a rack in a cantilever fashion at a plurality of respective levels. A robot having an arm is movable along the front of the rack. The arm is rotatable in a plane parallel to the surfaces of the shelves. Preferably, the arm of the robot is extensible and retractable and also is vertically movable, so that a cartridge picker mounted at the tip end of the arm can easily access each of the cartridge tapes accommodated in the automated warehouse.
