ArgoDrive is the innovative driving steering system
for automated guided vehicles (AGV) for omnidirectional movement
Whether it’s intralogistics, production, or the medical sector, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are in high demand in a wide range of fields, especially if they can move in any direction (meaning they can save space), react flexibly to obstacles, and lift large weights. Our ArgoDrive driving steering system enables all this and more. It includes two motors, steering, transmission, one wheel module, sensors, and industry-compatible BUS connections and impresses with its extremely compact dimensions.
Two motors
Both are responsible for driving (up to 3 m/s), steering, accelerating, and braking (up to 2.5 m/s2) the vehicle and therefore allow the product to retain its extremely compact design. The steering angle is continuously monitored, ensuring peace of mind when it comes to safety.
BUS interfaces
Profinet with Profisafe (STO, SLS, SDI), CANopen and EtherCAT (STO hardwired) with external controller for simple plug & play and secure communication.
Compact, robust housing
Length times width just 250 x 170 mm. It can be mounted flexibly on the guided vehicle and is extremely robust.
360° wheel module
Good to go in any direction and is easy to replace. Three diameters to choose from: for 100 up to 500 kg per wheel module and up to 10% incline.
Supports safety functions
Redundant sensor signals, separate steering angle measurement and safety indicators (MTTF values for sensors, B10 value for brake). Brake system with emergency stop function.
