  • AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES - AGV

  • More efficiency with Transport Robots

    The right part at the right time in the right place - that's what transport robotics does almost by itself. With the use of transport robots, also known as Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Systems, we optimise material flow and storage systems safely and quickly.

    The ek robotics vehicle types differ according to criteria such as design and the corresponding load range. In the design phase, the selected vehicle type is then combined with the appropriate load handling equipment. We are not limited by the number of vehicles in a system. And of course it is essential to match the vehicle selection and the system to the customer's requirements.

                        • The focus is on hygiene and cleanability, especially in food production. For this purpose, as an expert for stainless steel vehicles, we also offer fully automatic transport robots. This also applies, to the transport, storage or weighing of cheese. Thanks to high-precision weighing cells in the forks designed by ek robotics , weighing and dosing when mixing the raw cheese takes place directly on the vehicle. Transport robot becomes production robot.

                        • CUSTOM MOVE 04

                        • Special process requirements are also made in the pharmaceutical industry, among others. Here, highly sensitive products are manufactured for humans, which is why the qualification process for the AGV system is the focus of our customers. With many years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, ek robotics offers a reliable partner for the safe implementation of sensitive processes. As here, for example, with a vehicle for weighing pharmaceutical raw materials 24/7, 365 days a year.

                      • COMPACT MOVE

                      • The counterweight transport robots of the COMPACT MOVE series are developed for demanding transport tasks and adapted to the respective customer requirements with a variety of load handling attachments and lifting masts.

                          • COMPACT MOVE CB 10 COUNTERBALANCE

                          • The COMPACT CB 10 is a powerful and economical counterbalance vehicle. It has been developed for many years of continuous operation with high availability.

                            The COMPACT MOVE 10 has a modular additional weight system with which it can be adapted to different load capacities of 1,000 kg or 1,200 kg, depending on the customer-specific task. For example, this compact transport robot is used in the production logistics of an international manufacturer of deodorants. The COMPACT MOVE 10/12 is optimally suited for use in the tight space between the production lines and was additionally equipped with lateral safety scanners for this purpose.

                          • Compact Move CB 16

                          • The COMPACT MOVE 16 has a load capacity of up to 1,600 kg and, thanks to its robust design, is available for continuous operation, e.g. in a printing plant.

                            Especially in the production of printed products or packaging, a wide variety of loading aids are required. Here, the COMPACT MOVE with its variably adjustable forks offers the possibility to transport pallets on the fork tip in order to buffer them closely one behind the other in a space-saving manner. This is how the AGV from ek robotics achieves the highest efficiency, e.g. in the shipping area.

                          • COMPACT MOVE CB 25

                          • The COMPACT MOVE 18 / 25 is a real powerhouse, especially for block storage.

                            For block storage in a brewery, the COMPACT MOVE is optimised with 4 forks for handling two pallets at the same time. For the transport of single pallets, the forks can simply be moved together.

                            In addition, the COMPACT MOVE uses hybrid navigation from ek robotics. Thanks to the precise laser navigation, it is able to transport the pallets at high speed, with the magnets in the block storage aisles and, thanks to its 3D camera system, the COMPACT MOVE 18/25 can place the pallets safely on or off at a distance of 5.5 metres without any errors. Absolutely unique!

Goods of up to 500 kg can be transported efficiently by means of the transport robot. Consisting of a stainless steel chassis, the MEDI MOVE lifts the loading aids by max. 170 mm with two electrically operated spindle lifting units.

                              • Highest safety in clinic operation

                              • Due to its symmetrical 6-wheel configuration, the MEDI MOVE is able to rotate around its own center point and requires little maneuvering space. Prior to travel, the load is raised to such an extent that the areas of the personal protection laser scanners are clear and a 360-degree all-round view can be ensured for maximum safety during operation.

                                 A special feature: the exact synchronization of both lifting motors is handled by an integrated calibration unit, which enables precise lifting and lowering in the tenth of a millimeter range. The MEDI MOVE is exceptionally powerful. Even at maximum total load, it achieves a travel speed of up to 1.7 m/s, thus ensuring high overall performance of the AGV system.
