AGVs- Automated Guided Vehicles MTS Series
MAXOLUTION®
Automated Guided Vehicles MTS Series
MTS Series Automated Guided Vehicles overview.
(AGVs) are commonly used for material transfer, manufacturing assembly stations, flexible conveying systems, and many other plant production services. Mobile conveying vehicles are ideal for scalable factory automation.
What can AGV's be used for?
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are commonly used for material transfer, manufacturing assembly stations, flexible conveying systems, and many other plant production services.
Guidance Options
- SLAM Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
- Uses localization of natural structures with no tape
- Inductive line guidance sensor
- Very stable in rough environment, detects lane drift
- Optical line guidance sensor
- Detects lane drift to a colored tape, flexible for layout changes but not usable in rough environment
Contactless Energy Transfer
AGV’s can be powered or charged by our MOVITRANS® contactless energy transfer system. MOVITRANS® operates on the principle of inductive energy transfer, where electrical energy is transferred from a fixed conductor to one or more mobile consumers without contact. The electromagnetic connection is made via an air gap that runs 24/7 and is maintenance-free since there is no contact between the conductor and powered vehicle.
MAXOLUTION® offers a centralized system development environment and an integration team delivering complex drive system solutions for almost every application. The team offers automation and engineering expertise from inception though startup, and after sale consulting and maintenance. SEW-EURODRIVE’s MAXOLUTION® factory automation solutions consist of MTS Series intelligent vehicles, contactless energy transfer technology, WLAN communication, navigation options, and a wide variety of payload handling options. Combined with our gearmotors and control electronics, our MTS Series AGVs and factory automation components ensure a reliable and cost-effective system of material flow and in-plant logistics.

What system is used to power AGVs?
AGVs are powered by our contactless energy transfer system—MOVITRANS®.
MOVITRANS® operates on the principle of inductive energy transfer. Electrical energy is transferred from a fixed conductor to one or more mobile consumers without contact. Time-consuming, cumbersome drag-chain systems have become a thing of the past.
The electromagnetic connection is made via an air gap and is maintenance-free and wear-free. This contactless energy supply enables high speeds of more than 10 m/s. And as line cables are routed under the floor, there are no longer any obstacles disrupting transverse traffic.
Advantages of using a contactless energy transfer system—MOVITRANS®.
Other advantages of integrating a contactless energy transfer system are its ability to run emission-free—resulting in a healthier work environment. MOVITRANS® is resistant to contamination and does not produce any noise emissions. These factors contribute to a better level of productivity, safety, and sustainable growth.
