Unleashing the Power of Ewellix CASM-100 High-Performance Actuators for the Next Era in Material Handling with AMRs and AGVs

Efficiency, precision, and reliability are crucial for operational success in the constantly evolving material handling and logistics landscape. The advent of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) equipped with innovative technology has ushered in a new era of streamlined pallet lifting, transforming warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities worldwide. The CASM-100 High-Performance Actuators by Ewellix, a Schaeffler Company, lead this transformation, offering unparalleled capabilities and revolutionising pallet lifting environments.

Elevating AGV/AMR Efficiency with Cutting-Edge Technology

AGV/AMRs play a crucial role in modern material handling operations, allowing for efficient and swift movement of pallets within operational environments. The integration of Ewellix CASM-100 High-Performance Actuators elevates this efficiency to new heights, enabling AGVs and AMRs to lift to five tonnes with exceptional precision and recover energy through regenerative braking during descent. With such impressive lifting capacity, AGVs/AMRs have become indispensable workhorses in contemporary material handling processes.

Setting Standards in Every Aspect

The CASM-100 actuators are renowned for their robust lifting capacity and precision engineering. Designed to prevent oil leakage, they ensure a clean and eco-friendly pallet lifting experience. This unique feature eliminates the risks associated with hydraulic systems, providing reliable and consistent performance without compromising sustainability or cleanliness.

Empowering Efficiency: The Transformative Impact of Electrification

The industry-wide shift towards electric power reshapes the pallet lifting landscape, with Ewellix CASM-100 actuators leading the way. Combined with the CAHB-2xS series, they allow the lift and auxiliary functions to be powered by electricity instead of hydraulic fluid. This makes it possible for AGVs/AMRs to operate more eco-friendly and efficiently, reducing costs and creating a cleaner and more sustainable work environment.

Embracing Emerging Trends in Pallet Lifting

Several trends are reshaping pallet lifting solutions as the industry evolves to meet new demands. These trends include automation integration, customisation and adaptability, safety and ergonomics, and sustainability:

• Automation integration: AGVs and AMRs are increasingly integrated with advanced automation systems that leverage AI and machine learning technologies. This integration helps optimise routing, improve efficiency, and enhance operational agility.
• Customisation and adaptability: Pallet lifting solutions are becoming more customisable to accommodate diverse load sizes and shapes. This customisation is meant to cater to the unique requirements of various industries and operational environments.
• Safety and ergonomics: There is a growing emphasis on enhancing safety features and ergonomic designs in pallet lifting equipment. This is aimed at reducing workplace accidents and improving operator comfort.
• Sustainability drive: Companies are now prioritising eco-friendly solutions in pallet lifting operations. They seek equipment that minimises environmental impact through reduced energy consumption and emissions.
