Dunkermotoren Showcases AGV Motion Solutions at SIDO Lyon​

AMETEK brand Dunkermotoren will present its high-end motor technologies developed for autonomous mobile robots and digital production lines at SIDO Lyon on September 16-17. The company will demonstrate its drive technologies live on a 200 kg Norcan mobile robot at its booth, O324.

Norcan "The Agile" Sherpa-B AGV Series​

The "The Agile" Sherpa-B AGV series to be exhibited demonstrates how logistics processes can be easily optimized and automated. This robot has a load capacity of up to 200 kg, is compatible with various box sizes, and offers a long battery life. Most importantly, it can operate without requiring any changes to the existing factory infrastructure.

The Importance of Modularity​

Dunkermotoren emphasizes the critical role of modularity in overcoming challenges such as short development cycles and increasing machine complexity. By using a flexible, modular system, machine manufacturers can seamlessly combine proven components such as motors, gearboxes, electronics, and software to create customized, time- and cost-efficient solutions for modern industrial applications.

Industry 4.0 and AGVs​

With the widespread adoption of Industry 4.0 paradigms, there is a growing demand for flexible, infrastructure-free intralogistics solutions such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Modern AGVs like the Norcan Sherpa-B utilize advanced 2D LiDAR laser navigation sensors for dynamic navigation and highly efficient, compact drive units. For equipment manufacturers, adopting modular drive platforms that seamlessly integrate BLDC motors, smart electronics, and precision gearboxes significantly reduces engineering costs and time-to-market, allowing for rapid customization of robot payloads and kinematics to meet diverse warehouse requirements.
