Thierry Delmas, Managing Director at Kivnon, comments, "The K55 is an ideal solution for end-of-line palletizing, food and beverage, and retail applications. It is designed to ensure efficiency, reliability, and complete safety."

Equipped with lifting forks, the K55 Pallet Stacker will automatically transport palletized loads of up to 1200 kg and can lift to a height of up to 1500 mm. In line with all the Kivnon AGV/AMR ranges, the automated forklift is based on a simple, reliable, well-engineered design that will ensure it carries out its missions smoothly and reliably.

"Many AGV applications do not need complicated functions and controls, which can confuse operators, lead to errors, and reduce reliability," explains Mr. Delmas. "The Kivnon approach offers design and engineering excellence with a range of standardized fundamental models. Of course, vehicles can be customized to meet specific application goals, but we ensure our solutions are not over-engineered or over-priced."

The K55 uses mapping navigation to perform cyclic or conditioned routes and can interact with other site vehicles, machines, and systems to ensure a coordinated site-wide logistics solution. Security scanners ensure safe operation in shared spaces, and an online battery charging system means units can operate 24/7 without interruption.

Kivnon offers a different approach to AGV design by providing a more reliable solution at a better price with a wide range of AGVs and AMRs to meet various sector and operating needs.
"We pride ourselves on our ability to meet project requirements, both large and small, and provide our customers with the expert support and local services they need to ensure successful vehicle automation through the life of the vehicle, tailored to specific business needs," concludes Mr. Delmas.

Kivnon experts will be hands-on to speak about your application at Advanced Factories. Visitors can learn more at Kivnon stand C300 at the show. To register for this event, please visit www.advancedfactories.com/en/

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
