Machine General Description and Features
Incredible Bin Density
The system in its most dense (smallest) bin size configuration provides for up to 987 bins in roughly the
same footprint as our other equivalent RoboCrib® machines or other competing vending machines. Our
patented plastic bin shelf system, mated with the incredibly flexible tambour style door, gives the machine
the ability to virtually eliminate vertical bin “height” waste that is common with fixed door machines.
Dramatically Reduce Maintenance Costs
AutoCrib’s vast experience has found that reducing the number of moving parts significantly reduces
maintenance. Utilizing a dual tambour eliminates over 15 separate sub-systems and greatly reduces
maintenance costs.
Dispense Square Packages or Boxes
The RoboCrib® TX750 is the first machine that was specifically designed to dispense square or
rectangular boxes or packages. This practically eliminates the need for repackaging items to fit in helix
coil machines or carousels that use pie shaped bins. The dual tambour approach coupled with a machine
that utilizes square bins allows for an incredible amount of flexibility in bin sizes from 2” (5cm) height to
60” (152cm) height.
Quickly Configure at the Customer Site The simple user interface takes maximum advantage of the bin
density and flexibility by simply sliding shelves into a rack. The machine walks you through a bin
assignment process that is quick and easy. You can set up the machine with little to no prep work as you
perform the initial stock or load.

•Patented plastic trays for easy reconfiguration of shelves
•High-resolution 19” (48cm) touch display

RoboCrib TX750 Preparation
The RoboCrib TX750 unit is assembled and packed so that a minimum amount of time is necessary for
preparation to install it on location. The following steps are recommended to ensure correct unpacking.
1. Shipping Damage
Thoroughly inspect the exterior of the box and/or wrapping for damage, which may have occurred
during shipment.
a. Verify “TipNTell” is intact.
b. Note any damage or irregularities on shipping document.
c. Report any damage to delivering carrier and follow their instructions.
DO NOT SIGN FOR SHIPMENT IF ANY DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED, REFUSE THE SHIPMENT!
2. Uncrate the RoboCrib TX750
a. The RoboCrib TX750 is a self-contained automated vending unit, ready to use right out of
the box with very little set-up. The machine is shipped in specially designed packaging,
and it should stay that way until it is positioned near its final location.
b. Using a cordless drill with a #2 Phillips head bit, remove screws on crate. Carefully
remove plywood and cardboard panels. (retain the screws and crate, in case there is
concealed damage and you need to return the machine.)
c. Use a forklift to place the RoboCrib TX750 and pallet near the final location.
3. Remove RoboCrib TX750 from Pallet
a. Remove ratcheting shipping straps from the RoboCrib TX750 and from under the
shipping pallet. You may need a small ladder to access the release handles.
b. Do not lift on the main platter! Insert forks into lifting points and insure that forks are
completely inserted into the fork channels before lifting.
c. Remove the inner shrink-wrap and bubble packaging from the machine.
d. Move the RoboCrib TX750 to its final location using the casters or a pallet jack.

Routing Power & Network Connection
6. Routing Power Cable - The system power cord is coiled and attached to the UPS with a 3-
position detachable connector. The power can be routed through the top or bottom of the
machine depending on where the power outlet is located.
a. Through the top: feed the connector end down through the hole in the top right corner,
routing the cable between the touch screen alcove and the right side wall, then attach to
the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
b. Through the Bottom: feed the connector end up from the bottom through the hole in the
bottom right corner, then attach to the UPS.

Network Connection
7. Run the CAT5 network cable (25ft provided with RoboCrib TX750) through one of the same
routes as described for the power cord –up or down, depending on your preference.
a. Connect the CAT5 cable to the computer’s Ethernet port.
b. Connect the other end of the cable into the network drop.
NOTE: If a peer-to-peer setup will be used instead of the company’s existing network,
connect the end of the CAT5 cable into the hub provided with the RoboCrib TX750 rather
than the network drop.

Establish Power
8. Locate the UPS located near the bottom right of the front door panel. Turn the UPS on by
pushing the power button. Verify a green light appears on the UPS and the red building wiring
fault LED on the top is off. If the red LED is lit, contact the facility electrician to repair the power
outlet before proceeding. Note: UPS is only provided with machines shipped within North
America, Canada, and Mexico. For machines shipped to countries outside those areas you will
need to purchase and install a compatible plug.
