AGV designed for tight turns, narrow-aisle material handling

Creform’s Tite-Space BST AGV Tugger is designed for use in facilities with narrow aisles and tight turns.

Suitable for delivering to line-side assembly points with limited space, the AGV has a minimum turning radius of 15.7 in. It features a low-profile, a sleek design comprising a drive motor, 24-VDC system powered by two 12-V AGM batteries, and guidance sensors. It travels in a single direction along a magnetic tape guidepath at speeds of 13 to164 FPM.

The unit stays connected to the primary cart, except for battery changes or when it is removed for maintenance. The primary cart has a push/pull handle for manual maneuvering and features a small load deck for box handling, as well as a rear-mounted towing hitch for adding a second cart.

For large operations, a series of drive units can power an entire fleet of carts. Typically, units tunnel under carts and connect with the lead cart by raising its tow pin automatically or manually.

The unit has a maximum towed weight/draw bar of 1,320 lb./57 lb. Safety features include electromagnetic braking, audible warning and flashing light, obstacle sensor, bumper switch, and e-stop.

A battery tray cart aids battery changing. Command tapes initiate AGV functions such as speed changes, route selection, and extend/retract tow pin; control options include PLC, RF, RFID, and optical communicator.
