Thanks to extensive scalability, many different output ratings can be covered by choosing a motor/gearbox unit in combination with suitable simco^® drive electronics.

The company offers complete system solutions for intralogistics, from AGVs through milk run concepts to complex manufacturing and logistics systems. Mini-AGVs – modular and extensively scalable – are one of the mainstays of BeeWaTec's business.

Each vehicle axle comprises two TDSs, which are structured as differential drives – in other words, the vehicle is steered according to the speed difference between the two drives. The load lifted by each drive is therefore lower, saving even more space. All of these factors result in drive units with a significantly more compact, flatter and lighter design. The high energy efficiency is equally remarkable, enabling long driving cycles and contributing to the high availability of the TDS.

As soon as the container is completely in the vehicle, a shutter closes and the load is secured by a clamping mechanism. The drive system which is used to clamp the containers comprises a brushless DC motor in the cyber^® dynamic line in combination with a simco^® drive. The clamping process is controlled locally by means of a motion task stored in the motion controller. The latter is connected to the on-board computer via digital inputs and outputs – so that a fieldbus interface can be dispensed with.
