Actuator solutions for AGV systems More productive More precise More efficient

Actuator solutions for automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems Reliable, power dense, energy efficient Automated guided vehicle systems perform an increasing number of tasks in many different branches of industry and are meanwhile indispensable from an economic point of view. The TPM+ product family from WITTENSTEIN motion control is ideally suited for driving such systems, requiring only minimal adaptation to the most diverse AGV applications.

TPM+ integrates all the characteristics that matter most in an AGV solution: 路 Technology you can depend on 路 High power density and energy efficiency 路 Impressive smoothness With its longstanding experience in the drive engineering sector, WITTENSTEIN motion control has the expertise it takes to act as a reliable partner for technical components or develop end-to-end system solutions.

A tradition of reliability WITTENSTEIN motion control is a subsidiary of WITTENSTEIN AG. The outstanding strength of the WITTENSTEIN Group is its ability to control and optimize all relevant mechatronic and drive technologies „under one roof“.

We at WITTENSTEIN motion control are specialized in the creation of tailor-made solutions for defined customer applications based on WITTENSTEIN‘s combined pool of knowledge and experience.

Integrated actuator systems delivering high dynamics and power density are at the focus of our work. We are especially dedicated to the development of systems for use in extreme environments which – like all WITTENSTEIN solutions – are distinguished by their enormous precision, dynamics, robustness, reliability and controllability.

High power density in a small space The TPM+ product family unites the motor and gearhead in a single, compact unit with low mass inertia.

High energy efficiency and optimal control properties High energy efficiency is the outcome of the harmonious interaction of all key influencing factors in the entire actuator system. The coupling factor (mass moment of inertia ratio) and the rigidity in the powertrain are the most important parameters here.

Owing to the high mass of the application compared to the actuator, our TPM+ models offer excellent coupling factors where λ ≥100, and hence high efficiencies. At the same time, the high rigidity of the powertrain is crucial to ensure optimal controllability. Our TPM+ models significantly reduce energy consumption and facilitate longer ranges.
