Avoid AGV collisions with safety laser scannerTo avoid collisions in AGV applications, the OS32C type 3 safetylaser scanner is compact, with a 4-inch profile and weighing 2.9pounds, the device is easy to handle and install. It draws 5 wattsof power (3.75 watts in standby mode)for minimal battery load. The deviceremembers up to 70 zone set combinationsto support complex AGV paths indiverse layouts. Each zone set combinationprovides two warning zones of up to 32.8 feet that can beset to either make a warning sound or reduce AGV speed, andone safety zone of up to 10 feet that, if breached, will result inan emergency stop. A single unit provides 270-degree monitoring,or two units can be installed for front/rear monitoring or360-degree monitoring. Integrated Ethernet-based managementallows continuous monitoring of operating state. OmronScientific, 800-479-3658, www.sti.com.Lean manufacturingenhanced by mobile robotsEnhancing lean manufacturing practices,the ADAM autonomous delivery andmanipulation AGV is an intelligent mobilerobot that transports work-in-processand finished goods between locations.The system navigates in a complex, randomorigin to random destination productionenvironment, connecting islandsof automation with automated transportbetween random production cells. Thismakes it ideal for just-in-time deliveryapplications, while seamlessly adjustingto layout and facility changes. Theunit navigates around fixed and movingobjects without guide wires, reflectorsor transponders. A programmable soundsystem feature includes interactive voicemessages and a mobile vehicle in motionjukebox.
