A fork-style laser guided vehicle offers counterbalanced and reach lift capabilities and handles up to 3,000-pound loads. The LGV uses LaserWay technology and round reflectors to position itself within the system. Round reflectors provide optimum accuracy and flexibility and eliminate false readings. The system's C-Way software also creates a graphical, color-coded view of the system for easy monitoring and identification of the vehicle's location, load, battery status and other conditions.

Design, demonstrate and implement an automatic guided vehicle system using Quick Configurable Automation (Q-CAN), a PC software program. Without CAD or software experience, users can easily design non-wire guided path layouts and define system operations. The Q-CAN Designer system demonstration function allows users to test a vehicle's operation on screen and refine its parameters before implementation. Q-CAN supports remote AGV call and dispatch functions and can be easily adapted to changing operational needs.
