AGV Units and Options

 

Basic Units:

Light-duty class unit:

Size: W353 x H228 x L355 mm

Min. Ground Height: 19 mm

Self-Mass: 25 kg

 

Control Unit:

This is a core section of the Meiden AGV kit.  It contains a computer and a control unit.

Size: W350 x H120 X L400 mm

Self-Mass: 10 kg

Installing Direction: Longitudinal flat installation

 

Operator Switches:

The POWER, START and EMERGENCY STOP switches are installed.

 

Wheel Lifter:

This is a lever to raise or lower the driver block. When the driver block is raised, the vehicle can be moved manually.

 

 

Market Sensor:

This is a command sensor to read out the command marker.

Basic Options:

Battery (24V)

Used as the AGV power supply.

25AH, 35AH, 65AH and 100AH ar available

 

Battery Charger:

This is a battery charger

AC 100V and AC 200V versions are available

 

Auto-Charger (back type):

Battery cells are charged while the AGV is in standby mode through the connections between the battery charger terminal and the charger

 

 

Magnetic Tape, marker:

These are the magnetic tapes for guidance and markers.

 

 

Auto-Charger (side type):

Since it can touch the side terminal, automated charging is possible without any back-traveling function.

Extended Options:

Tape Bumper

An emergency stop takes place when the tape bumper touches an obstacle. Dead zones are provided to both ends.

 

Battery Voltmeter:

The battery voltage is measured and displayed

 

Operational Console Type A:

This is used for multi-spot stoppage with command markers. The AGV can stop at a maximum of 8 stations. A maximum of 7 branches can be set up. An error code is indicated in case of an error

 

Operational Console Type 2B:

This is used for relative address type multi-spot stoppage. The AGV can stop at a maximum of 50 stations and a maximum of 30 branches can be set up.  An error code is indicated in case of an error.

 

Laminate Pilot Lamp:

Lit during automatic traveling, an emergency stop a stop at a station and others. An independently controllable buzzer is incorporated (Up to three colors to choose from)

 

Manual Operation Pendant:

This is a wired remote control. It is useful when moving a heavy class vehicle outside the tapes

 

Pipe Bumper:

An emergency stop takes place when the tape bumper touches an obstacle.  This is a bumper for pipe vehicle.

 

Obstacle Sensor:

Obstacles are sensed by infrared rays.  When approaching to the obstacle, the vehicle reduces speed and stops.

 

Optical Communication Equipment:

This is used when an instruction of AGV operation is given from the ground level (an onboard setter may be required)

 

Obstacle Sensor (Scanner Type):

The detection areas can be set up with a personal computer. For each detection area, a detection distance of 2-stage output can be set up.

 

Running Melody Unit:

A melody is broadcast during traveling or cargo transfer.  21 melodies and 11 types of buzzer sounds are available.

 

Battery Voltmeter (Digital Type):

The battery voltage is measured and digitally displayed (not available for auto-chargers)

 

Wireless Controller + Wireless LAN Unit:

Functional details are available in product literature.

 

Additional Optional Functionality

Back-Traveling Function:

This is a function for the backward traveling of Meiden AGV Kit. Two sets of driver units and guidance sensors are added to modify the control unit.

 

Easy Back-Traveling Function:

This is a function for the short-span backward traveling. It is applicable to a linear course and a large curvature. Without requiring the addition of any driver units, this function can be established with the addition of guidance sensors.

 

Magnetic Brake:

The shifting of cargos at the time of cargo transfer and vehicle stoppage on a slope can be prevented. (Standard installation for heavy articles)

 

Creep Traveling Function:

The vehicle can travel at a low speed of 0.4m per minute. (Applicable only to the 30m/min type) For heavy articles, 5m/min shall apply. This function is useful for assembling actions by moving the AGV or for cargo pickup servicing..

 

Control Accuracy Upgrading:

The stoppage accuracy is upgraded from the standard level.

* The control accuracy is upgraded through the combination of the magnetic brake and the creep traveling function.

 

Extension of power supply

The feeding capacity of the power supply is increased to 1.8A.
