ABSTRACT:
A carousel-type storage and access system provides storage units having first and second storage zones accessible through first and second opposed access faces. Each storage unit is mounted for pivotal movement in an access position to one of two operated positions. In one operated position, one access face is conveniently positioned for access by the machine operator. In the other operated position, 180.degree. of rotation from the first operated position, the second access side is positioned for easy access by the operator. A turner unit located at the access position is coupled with the adjacent storage unit and operates to rotate the storage unit to the various operated positions required. Sensors generate signals which can be fed to a computer controller for fully automated operation.
