Automatic Guided Vehicle incorporates 360Â° safety feature.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 07:41:44 -0500

Used in palletizing applications, Q20ZA automated guided vehicle (AGV) is equipped with dual Sick S300 Safety Laser scanners that provide 360Â° field of protection. Each scanner, positioned on opposite corners of AGV, is linked to vehicle's PLC and wheel-drive encoder. If obstruction is detected in warning zone, vehicle slows down to a halt until obstruction is removed. Safety scanners also automatically change sensing ranges based on speed and steering angle.

Featuring low profile design, BST AGV Drive Unit consists of drive motor, 24 Vdc power supply, control electronics, and guidance sensors. Unit travels along magnetic tape guide path, glides under stationary push cart, and engages cart by extending catch pin into cart's frame. Drive then conveys cart to required workstations or load/unload points and disengages from cart. Offering capacity of 1,100 lb, unit provides unidirectional travel with speed range of 13-164 fpm.

Designed for 24/7 trailer loading and warehousing, SmartLoader(TM) provides unmanned solution that adapts to various trailer sizes and skew angles without manual modification. Inertial guidance system relies upon transponders embedded in floor that identify its exact location. AGV maneuvers around warehouse utilizing Vehicle Control Computer, which maintains intended path and performs required tasks, and integrates with WMS for real-time control.

Automated Guided Vehicle suits palletizing applications.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 05:34:45 -0500

Using laser guided system, Automated Guided Vehicle features lift capacity of 2,000 lb, 2-stage mast for 110 in. vertical lift, and can travel at 230 fpm. By adding AGV to palletizing process, manufacturers can eliminate use of pallet conveyors and damage caused by human error. Supported by Danaher NDC8 platform, driverless automated forklift can be navigated through manufacturing plants using routes and path information that have been downloaded through wireless LAN.
