Creform has built an AGV (automated guided vehicle) to transport heavy frames. The Creform model HA-B Bi-directional AGV measures approximately 80-in. L x 28-in. W x 30-in. H and meets CAT3 requirements. Each end of the AGV follows the guide path independently while the dual drive wheels give the AGV high load capacity and the ability to travel laterally. The unit provides a 90° or 180° spin turn and can travel at speeds up to 50 m/min with a load capacity of 4400 lbs. Powered by 24V batteries, the AGV route features 10 stops and can run two shifts per day. The vehicle stops automatically and starts when released by the traffic control system. The AGV’s batteries are automatically charged by pulling into the charging stations positioned along the route.
