Celebrating 20 Years!
An extension of your engineering team for 20 years.
Industry: Mobile Equipment
AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES (AGVs)
Solution by: Advanced Motion Controls
OBJECTIVE: AGVs are autonomous mobile robotic platforms with multiple industrial and commercial uses as well as for research development projects. These systems are typically used to transfer materials.
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Customer given one month timeframe to demonstrate proof-of-concept. Control systems were selected from outside vendors of much smaller robots. Target platform to combine transplanted controls into new, larger, more complex system. Specified network communication. CANopen® network expected in the drives given stability of existing smaller system. Much higher current demands. 150 amps peak and continuous current output
SOLUTION
Both customer and smaller robot controls manufacturer use ADVANCED Motion Controls’ drives. ADVANCED Motion Controls’ success with the smaller robot control system provided the starting point to design higher power drive solution. ADVANCED Motion Controls’ capabilities and experience of providing a quick solution edged out competition. Standard CANopen interface combined with higher power platform and concurrent internal development on high-power vehicle mount drives led to customer receiving prototype unit in 2 weeks.
