Transbotics: Automatic guided cart for automotive assembly lines

Ideal for use in assembling automotive seat components, a new automatic guided cart system of vehicles from Transbotics navigates around a fixed guide path of two complete loops while various seat models are assembled onboard the traveling cart.

Made of magnetic tape, the guide path installs in a few hours for accurate guidance with flexibility for layout changes. The carts are equipped with an on-board, color touch screen that controls nine selectable speeds.

A stationary, off-board control system with programmable logic control and color touch screen communicates wirelessly with the AGCs to relay system activity to a host computer.
