STILL launches AMR models
THE FORKLIFT manufacturer has released three versions of its ACH series.
The ACH 06 model, with a load capacity of 600kg and dimensions of 956x730x240mm, is suited for the automated transport of lighter goods. It can pick up or place goods up to an underride height of 270mm. When loaded, the small runabout reaches a travel speed of 1.5m/s.
The medium-sized version, the ACH 10, measures 1182x832x260mm and can transport loads of 1,000kg. If you need to transport even heavier loads, you can go for the ACH 15. The most powerful of the three models also measures 1182x832x260xmm and is designed for loads up to 1,500kg. The pick-up and drop-off height of both the ACH 10 and the ACH 15 is 290mm. When loaded, the two larger variants reach a speed of up to 1.2m/s. The available loading area for the ACH 06 is 900x900mm. The other two models feature a loading platform with a surface area of 1200x1200mm.
All three models are powered by a Li-ion battery. This can be charged via the charging station that is part of the system. The vehicles automatically dock onto the station as needed.
Using sensor technology, the ACH series moves independently, proactively and safely in the warehouse – even in mixed operation with people and other industrial trucks.
The vehicles transport a great variety of load carriers on their platforms and can be adapted to a wide range of transfer points. Depending on the requirements, the AMR works independently or via a connection to the different software systems of the operators.
AMR vehicles also stand out when it comes to environmental protection. Due to their significantly lower dead weight compared to classic automated warehouse solutions, their energy consumption is noticeably reduced. In addition, their acquisition, operating and maintenance costs are said to be very low. Therefore, they can be integrated into existing environments and systems very cost-effectively. In combination with the good scalability and their high safety standard, the ACH series offers an attractive entry into automation for many industries, e.g. in parts supply for production, the automotive industry, logistics, medical manufacturing, the production of clothing or electronics or eCommerce.
