Absolute address
Method to switch operations by reading the number of address marker that is applied near the magnetic tapes.
Automatic Guided Vehicle
Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) that runs and loads/unloads manually or automatically.
Bumper Sensor
The device to stop AGV when it touches an obstacle.
Drive Wheel Free mechanism
The mechanism that the drive unit is lifted up or lowered electrically.It's useful when AGV is trundled by operators.
Emergency stop button
The button to stop AGV in the event of emergency.
Loading type
To load workpieces on AGV.
Magnetic
Method to guide AGV by detecting magnetic force.
Main control board
The main circuit part to control AGV.

Loading weight
The weight of workpieces that AGV conveys
Ten key
The input device to set AGV program or running speed.
Touch panel
The input device to set AGV program or running speed. It's multi-functional compared with ten key type.
Towing
AGV tows a dolly or other.
Alarming device
The device to draw the attention of workers to AGV. Melody and signal tower are used.
AGV
AGV stands for Automatic Guided Vehicle, an unmanned carrier.
Count up
Method to switch operations by counting the number of spot marker that is applied near the magnetic tapes.
Marker Pattern
Method of switch operations by reading the pattern of spot marker that is applied near the magnetic tapes. Stop, speed change and other operations are available.
Marker Stop
Method to stop AGV at a spot where the spot marker is applied near the magnetic tapes.
Magnetic tape
Tape for AGV guiding
Optical Tape
Tape for AGV guiding
Tape cut (Gap reading)
Method to stop AGV at a spot where the magnetic tape was cut by 50mm.
