The 2D LiDAR sensors in the NAV product family provide the highest level of performance for the navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The unrestricted spatial location of positions is performed using reflector marks and provides the AGV with maximum flexibility by virtually changing the route in the vehicle computer.
NAV 2D LiDAR sensors provide highly accurate spatial contour data about distance, angle, and remission, as well as reflector data, at high speed over a scanning path of up to 360 degrees. Multiple measurements made on each reflector are converted into precise reflector coordinates.
This information makes it possible to transmit the precise vehicle position to the vehicle computer, even if ambient conditions change. The combination of spatial contour data and reflector data (mixed-mode navigation) enables line-guided vehicles to travel in areas where it is not possible to position reflector marks (automated truck loading or block storage areas, for example).
Features
Precise, fast collection of spatial contour data and/or simultaneous determination of reflector data (managing up to 12,000 reflectors) in real time
Integrated evaluation of measured data reduces the computing load in the vehicle computer, minimizing power consumption and reducing operating costs
High flexibility, since line guidance is also possible in areas without reflector marks, and routes can be easily modified using teach-in mode
Precise measurements in harsh industrial environments thanks to IP65 housing for indoor applications
High angular resolution for gap-free scanning even under difficult conditions
Hardware synchronization output ensures precise control
