Automated guided vehicles
June 1st 2007 E&K Automation comments
that automated guided
vehicles, with the latest
safety technologies built in,
are a well established tool
of the trade in the paper
industry.
They deliver the goods
and the user reaps the
benefits in many
applications right through
the manufacturing process.
AGVs are able to
transport awkward and
difficult-to-handle loads
with a wide range of
weights and sizes. When
fitted with rotating reel
clamps they can be used for
efficient, automated
transport, handling and
warehousing of 4t paper
reels and can block stack
the reels to heights of more
than 4m. Superheavyweight
or jumbo
paper reels weighing 20t
can be transported safely.
AGVs can be standard
trucks or tailor-made for
specific requirements More articles from E & K Automation Ltd: |
