BST AGV from Creform holds automotive front-end modules during assembly

Creform Corp. has designed and built a compact AGV with fabricated cart that provides a manufacturer with the ability to hold automotive front-end modules during assembly.

The BST AGV, model CA-250060-NSI-K9, works as an automated tugger, traveling along a magnetic tape guidepath, slipping under the stationary cart, extending a tow pin into the cart’s frame, and then conveying it to a designated workstation or unload point.

This unit has the functionality of a larger Creform BST-NSI, but in a compact package for enhanced maneuverability. It can control 50 courses with up to 128 commands for each. Course programming can be accomplished with a PC or HMI touchscreen, and programs can be downloaded via USB memory, Ethernet cable, or RF.
