Mobile robots:
Move into new dimensions
Robotics is on the move, whether it be in production, logistics or service. Sensor solutions for all variants of mobile robots
Controlled load transfer to automated guided vehicle systems
Automated transfer of load carriers such as pallets or containers to and from conveyor belts requires a high degree of monitoring. Photoelectric retro-reflective sensors hereby assume various tasks such as querying of the assignment of the loading surface, gap monitoring between the vehicle and transfer station or protrusion monitoring. In order to satisfy all applications, the SICK product portfolio offers photoelectric sensors in a wide range of designs such as the WLR, R/IR ZoneControl photoelectric retro-reflective sensors or GL6 miniature photoelectric sensors.
