Technical Information

The MLS is a magnetic line guidance sensor for navigating automated guided vehicles and carts. Navigation is done by aligning the sensor to the center of the magnetic lane. 

Easy installation: Thin housing design and different measurement area variants. 

Quick commissioning without configuration. Optional configuration and visualization via a user interface. 

Large ground clearance: 10 mm to 70 mm of distance to the magnetic band can be installed. 

Safe lane detection and differentiation of up to 3 lanes for intersections and lane junctions. The vehicle can therefore maneuver through branches and lane junctions with no problem. 

Monitoring of magnetic strength of the guidance lane. 

Easy and reliable detection of command marks (STOP, MERGE, SPEED CHANGE) 

Support of vehicle navigation due to integrated inertial measuring unit. 

Fields of applications: Line guidance for automated guided vehicles and carts (AGVs/AGCs) with magnetic band, Fine positioning of automated guided vehicles. 

An integrated inertial measuring unit supports vehicle navigation with information on the position of the sensor.
