AGVs (autonomous guided vehicles) and AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) are becoming the norm in manufacturing production, assembly plants, and logistics warehousing facilities. These devices provide a fast and efficient method to modern-day production demands. POSITAL’s line of kit encoders can assist with the navigation systems of these products. With absolute position sensing, compact and robust designs, and accurate and responsive sensing, POSITAL kit encoders are perfect to integrate into existing systems or new designs.
As an AGV or AMR navigates its course, the vehicle steering is controlled by its “brain”; a vital role to not only assure that it reaches its destination but also avoids obstacles that might intrude upon its path.
While an accurate and responsive absolute position sensors is the preferred solution of choice, mechanically integrating the encoder to this steering system can be a considerable challenge, depending on steering system design requirements and spatial envelope constraints. Whether new steering system design or retrofit to existing vehicle chassis, POSITAL IXARC encoders, KIT encoders, and other innovative designs afford workable form & fit economies, along with required signal function and performance.
