facTHory

DESCRIPTION

facTHory is an Industrial-Robot from TwinswHeel. It is built for Intralogistics, Material-Handling, Transport. Key figures: 480 min runtime, 600 kg payload.

facTHory is TwinswHeel's family of autonomous load-carrying robots for factories, automating the movement of parts and sub-assemblies to assembly lines inside buildings and between the buildings of one industrial site. It is aimed at stocking, order picking, counting, line supply and bringing tools and spare parts to maintenance staff, without changes to the site's infrastructure. Depending on the model it carries 50 to 600 kg in 50 to 1,000 litres of load space, tows 500 kg on a braked trailer and runs about 8 hours on a charge; bodies include a box with door or roller shutter, a flatbed or mixed box and flatbed, a Euro-pallet tray, a lifting table and custom fittings. It reaches up to 25 km/h where rules allow, climbs 18% slopes and 5 to 15 cm steps depending on the model, and some models also run outdoors. TwinswHeel quotes deployment at one day per 500 square metres. Like all TwinswHeel droids it works in three modes: follow-me, where it tracks its paired operator about 2 m behind using lidar and cameras; autonomous, on a detailed SLAM map with GNSS and virtual routes, under a safety driver's responsibility; and remote piloting. It is all-electric with four-wheel drive and steering, pneumatic tyres and suspension for quiet running, and stops at once if the remote link is lost.
