For the automatic doffing of modern automatic texturing machines Oerlikon Barmag offers the use of a floor based AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) system. Using state-of-the-art laser navigation these units do not require any mechanical rails or guiding, which would interfere with the remaining manual work in this area. Due to flexible navigation concepts and a system-based redundancy huge capacities can be covered with even a small number of AGVs.
