Abstract
An automatic guided vehicle comprising a fork carriage with a fork, a propulsion drive system, a sensor to acquire position data of objects located in a detection field and a computer. The vehicle comprises a reference member located in the detection field of the sensor rigidly secured to a common rigid frame with the sensor. The sensor periodically acquires control position data indicative of a position of the reference member. The computer periodically compares the control position data with a reference value stored in a memory.
Claims15
An automatic guided vehicle comprising:
- a fork carriage with at least one load bearing fork,
- a propulsion drive system to propel the vehicle,
- a sensor to acquire position data of objects located in a detection field of the sensor, and
- a computer receiving position data from the sensor and controlling the propulsion drive system to automatically guide the vehicle,
- characterized in that the vehicle further comprises at least one reference member located in the detection field of the sensor, the at least one reference member and the sensor being rigidly secured to a common rigid frame,
- in that the sensor is operative to at least periodically acquire control position data indicative of a position of the at least one reference member in the detection field of the sensor,
- and in that the computer is operative to at least periodically compare said control position data with a reference value stored in a memory of the computer.
