Innovative system solutions for assembly lines

Whether in cycle mode or continuous operation, high loads during travel and lifting – our MAXOLUTION® concepts for line-guided AGV systems offer you the right drive and automation solutions with innovative technologies:

  • Powerful drive and application controller
  • High-performance safety controller for comprehensive safety functions
  • Radio communication via leakage cable for reliable data transmission
  • Contactless energy transfer for particularly low-maintenance systems
  • Innovative software tools for planning, project planning, simulation and startup

Application-specific functions for maximum efficiency and occupational safety of workers in production, among others:

  • Different travel speeds depending on the position and load – can also be implemented with safety functions SLS / SLP
  • Temporarily increasing the speeds for closing gaps
  • Adaptive buffer distances
  • Safe distance monitoring (SDM®) for a safely controlled distance between the vehicles
  • Safe envelopes for applications with lifting
  • Synchronization with other systems, e.g. “on the fly” Marriage

MAXOLUTION® connected – innovative software solutions for networking shop floor automation and integration into the IT level:

  • Detailed online diagnostics of the vehicles using the MOVIVISION® parameterization and diagnostics software
  • Condition monitoring to improve system diagnostics and early failure detection
  • Simulation for the entire assembly process – from quality testing to productive operation
  • Digital twin of the production system – from OT to IT
  • EdgeDevices for data coupling of third-party I/O devices via MQTT
  • MOVIPRO® PHC drive and application controller
    • Powerful with integrated frequency inverter from 2.2 kW to 22 kW
    • Fast diagnostics via 7-segment display
    • Parameter memory for fast startup and device replacement
  • MOVISAFE® HM31-B safety controller
    • High-performance safety controller for extended safety functions
    • Memory card for fast device replacement
  • MOVITRANS® contactless energy transfer system
    • Navigation via magnetic field of the MOVITRANS® system in combination with transponders and DataMatrix
  • DataMatrix code tape and a safe 2D camera system
    • Safe position detection
  • Slotted waveguide technology
    • Safe WLAN communication from the vehicle to the MOVISAFE® HM31-B stationary safety controller
  • MOVIVISION® parameterization and diagnostics software for detailed online diagnostics
  • MAXOLUTION® connected software modules
    • Digital twin of the production system with high-resolution 3D visualization
    • Track designer for user-friendly parameterization of travel routes and transfer scenarios
  • Options:
    • MOVISAFE® UCS safety module for safety functions with lower complexity
    • Additional fast-charging energy storage unit
    • Customer-specific control and drive configurations
    • Keypad for manual movement of the vehicles
    • Synchronization with heavy-duty EMS

Line-guided automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) are often used in automotive production:

  • For marriage where chassis and drive train of a car are joined. This process is often done synchronized with a heavy EMS
  • In assembly lines, e.g. for battery, motor, front-end or cockpit assembly

Or also …

  • In assembly lines for trucks or agricultural machinery
