Laser Guided Vehicles from OCME

OCME S.r.l. from Parma Italy, in collaboration with their local partner HBM Packaging Technologies, present the Auriga, laser guided vehicle.

The Auriga is a system to transport goods without the need of an operator. It follows a path verifying (up to 8 times per second) its position detecting the reflection angle of a LASER ray sent out from a Laser Navigator.

By using laser technology and reflectors, there is no requirement to add embedded rails or to modify the site. Reflectors are positioned in inconspicuous locations and can be easily moved to cater for future site expansion.

The inbuilt safety systems used guarantee a safe working environment. If the system detects movement in the shuttle operating zone, the combined action of sensors and bumpers will automatically interrupt the shuttle movement.

Advantages & features of the OCME Auriga LGV include:

• Reduced operating costs

• High Speed up to 1500 mm/sec

• Increases the efficiency of the plant

• Ability to run on uneven floors

• No physical modification to site required

• Simple and fast installation

• Systems are very easy to customise

• Automatic system for battery recharging

• Pallets can be picked and dropped off up to a maximum height of 6M

• Provides a safer working environment

With over 80 successful installations in Oceania, OCME are major suppliers of packaging equipment to many industry leading food and beverage processors.
