The Simplest and Most Reliable Guiding Technique for AGVs
Roboteq’s Magnetic Guide Sensor is capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. Our sensor is intended for applications in Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), using inexpensive adhesive magnetic tape to form a guide on the floor.
Build an AGV with Only Two Components
A complete, Magnetic Guide following AGV can be built with just an MGS1600 sensor and one of the many dual channel motor controllers in our catalog.
We have prepared an Application Article, complete with descriptions, drawings and programming code to show you just how simple it is.
