On-demand agv charging
December 1st 2011 Hawker XFC batteries from EnerSys
are being used in a new project with
automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
manufactured by JBT Corporation
for handling print reels and other
loads at a commercial printing plant
in Sheffield.
The Hawker XFC units were
chosen by JBT Corporation because
of compact size/shape,
heavy duty performance,
and quick/on-demand
charging, without the
need for maintenance.
These features enabled
the batteries to be
integrated into the JBT
Corporation AGVs and
deliver efficient, roundthe-
clock operation.
Each XFC battery is
approximately 30% smaller than
comparable conventional units with
the added advantage that it can be
placed in any orientation, including
upright, on its side or on its end
because the dry gel electrolyte will
not leak. More articles from Enersys Ltd: |
