AGV International moves its Hexabot 506 AGV into productionDutch automated guided vehicle developer AGV International has started commercial production of its new Hexabot T506 autonomous guided vehicle (AGV), after a successful trial with a customer in the Netherlands.
The electric Hexabot T506 has been trialled by plastic piping manufacturer DKYA Nederland for the last month, after an extensive period of development.
It has been designed for heavy loads, demanding warehouse and production environments, with a 2.5T load capacity, a lift height up to 200mm and operates on a lithium-ion battery.
The Hexabot T506 measures 4,500mm long, 800mm wide and 310mm high, with the compact chassis making it suitable for use in narrow operations.
It features advanced navigation and safety architecture including automatic LED lighting, control current key switch, emergency stop buttons and T10 joystick contact point.
AGV International says the move into production of the T506 “marks a major milestone in autonomous intralogistics, where power, precision, and intelligent control converge in one compact, industrial-grade omnidirectional lifting platform AGV”.
“The first AGVs are the most difficult and the lessons are enormous,” the family business states. “But now there is certainly something beautiful!
“With the birth of the Hexabot T506, we focus on the market of LiDAR controlled AGVs.”
