Precise actuator technology on AGV systems

The shutter D23 laser, which is designed for continuous operation, blocks the laser beam with its optical paddle and a switching time of approx. 30 ms during operation and in pauses to protect the laser.

In the event of a power failure, e.g. due to a short circuit or battery failure, the emergency solenoid arrestor stops the Automated Guided vehicle by mechanically locking the wheels.

When an object or a person enters the permanently monitored AGV warning field, its speed can be safely limited or stopped with safety functions such as STO, SS1, SLS.

Highly maneuverable AGV are optimally controlled with Kendrion’s compact EtherCAT Drive Control for servo or stepper motors.

Stepper control raises and lowers the flap. Kendrion’s Stepper Control for 3 Stepper motors is optimally suited for various independent motion applications.

The bistable solenoid BI034 locks the flap position and unlocks it precisely with an end force of 45N just as quickly after the task has been successfully completed.

The operating and display device can be used for modern AGV visualisation as CODESYS HMI, web terminal or with a Linux visualisation app.

The spring-applied brake stops the AGV securely in case of emergency to protect persons or material. It can be perfectly used in applications requiring small geometrical dimensions.

The compact and easy to install motor brake ensures safety in case of power-loss and holds even high loads in position.
