Flexible Roll Handling that Increased Safety

A major paper and allied products manufacturer with a plant location in Greenfield, Indiana, wanted to move away from their in-floor conveyors for moving rolls as it was not flexible and if production changed this was not a technology that could easily adapt.

The system needed to take into account safety as well as cost-efficiencies. The vehicles use the latest non-contact laser bumper technology, which can determine objects in the vehicle’s path and stop automatically until the path becomes unobstructed.

Upon evaluation of several alternatives the company determined that Roll Handling Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs) could meet the challenges of flexible automation, increased safety and decreased product damage. The newly designed vehicles are used to move rolls throughout the facility to multiple drop-off locations automatically.
