The mobile robot is available as L2 core and L2 lift in two versions. The basic L2 core model without active load handling is particularly suitable as a transport robot for goods-to-person processes or as an assembly platform. The Safelog L2 lift is equipped with a lifting table mounted on scissor bearings. In addition to its further improved agility, the new mobile robot from Safelog offers an extended speed range. For example, the maximum speed for an empty run has been increased from 1 to 1.6 m/s compared to the previous L1 model. Another new feature is the creep mode, in which the device only moves at 0.02 m/s. This creep mode is useful in flexible assembly lines, for example, where the transport robot is used as an assembly platform.

Various navigation options

For navigation, the robotics company offers virtual or magnetic guidance, depending on customer requirements. For orientation in space, the robot can be equipped with the following localization methods for optimum adaptation to the customer's specific application: LiDAR contour detection, grid code, floor structure detection, 2D camera system, RFID technology, inductive sensor or magnetic sensor. The L2 can also be equipped with a 3D camera system for collision detection. The camera detects both people and objects. This further increases work safety and also prevents damage to property.

Shorter and lower than its predecessor

Compared to the L1, the current model is 150 mm shorter and 30 mm lower. The compact design opens up new application possibilities, as the lower height means that more load carrier types can be driven under and lifted out. In the Safelog L2 lift version, the new model is equipped with a scissor-bearing lift table that can accommodate a load of up to 1,500 kg and lift it continuously. Compared to its predecessor L1, the maximum lifting height has been increased by 40 mm to 160 mm.

With a scalable battery capacity of LiFePO4 batteries, Safelog remains true to its policy of only supplying customers with the equipment that is really necessary for the respective process. The batteries can be charged wear-free in the process via an inductive charging system.

Like all mobile robots from Safelog, the new L2 model does not require a higher-level control station for control. Instead, the manufacturer follows the approach of swarm-based fleet management. Each robot is equipped with a computer unit that runs the autonomous process software. This allows the devices or agents in the swarm to exchange the information they need to complete the tasks at hand. According to the company, the system achieves a high level of availability: if one robot fails, the others continue to work and take over the tasks of the failed device.
