REACHING YOUR DESTINATION WITHOUT CONGESTION: INDIVIDUAL AGV TRANSPORT SYSTEMS WITH ACTIVE OR PASSIVE LOAD HANDLING DEVICES. WORKPIECES CAN BE MOUNTED DIRECTLY ON THE PLATFORMS OR TRANSPORTED BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL WORKPLACES.

Miele, Germany

At our partner and household appliance manufacturer Miele, three FAST MOVE AGVs transport large load carriers in the Gütersloh production plant and ensure targeted and reliable supply and disposal of the assembly lines. With its integrated lifting table, the FAST MOVE 140 lifts the transport racks so high that the safety scanners can create a 360° safety field around the transport robot. This ensures maximum safety even for omnidirectional moves across an area of more than 8000 m².

AGV-TYPE: FAST MOVE

LOAD HANDLING DEVICE: LIFTING TABLE

PAYLOAD: up to 1.000 kg

PERFORMANCE: up to 2 m/s, also for omnidirectional drives

NAVIGATION: LASERSCANNER 

AGV HEIGHT: FROM 140 mm

SML, Genk, Belgium

Over 100 ek robotics transport robots of the vehicle type CUSTOM MOVE are in use at the automotive supplier SML for the assembly of engines and axles. Within seven months, the transport robotics specialist designed and manufactured customised assembly vehicles and put them into operation during a 3-week shutdown. The engines and axles were delivered to the car manufacturer's SOP without interrupting production and just in time.

The assembly vehicles with a SIEMENS PLC use inductive tracking with CPS in flow or stop-and-go assembly.

  • AGV TypE: CUSTOM MOVE
  • Load-carrying equipment: Assembly platform with mounting device
  • capacity: 500 kg
  • Performance: 0,01 – 1,0 m/s
  • Navigation: Inductive track guidance with CPS

OEM, China

For flexible engine assembly, 130 ek robotics transport vehicles were designed, manufactured and commissioned on site at an automotive plant in China.

With the transport robots designed by ek robotics, the engines can be lifted, rotated and tilted as part of the assembly steps. This ensures particularly efficient and ergonomic working for the various assembly activities.

The customised assembly solution includes the integration of the ek robotics master control into the customer's PLC process control.

  • AGV Type: CUSTOM MOVE
  • Load-carrying equipment: Combined lifting, turning and tilting device
  • capacity: 300 kg
  • Performance: 0,01 – 1,0 m/s
  • Navigation: Inductive track guidance
