Laser and Sensor Technologies in Transfer Cars
Industrial transfer cars play a critical role in the safe and efficient transportation of heavy loads. These vehicles, used in manufacturing facilities, factories, and logistics centers, must be equipped with advanced safety systems to ensure smooth operations and protect workers. With advancements in technology, the safety features of transfer cars have significantly improved. Among these technologies, laser scanners and ultrasonic sensors play a crucial role in collision prevention and navigation processes.
The Role of Laser Scanners
Laser scanners are advanced sensor systems that continuously scan the surroundings of transfer cars to detect potential obstacles. These systems use laser beams to scan the area in front of the vehicle and analyze the returning signals to determine the position and distance of obstacles. If an obstacle is detected, the system automatically slows down or stops the vehicle, preventing collisions.
The main advantages of laser scanners include:
• Real-Time Detection: Laser scanners instantly detect objects around the moving transfer car, enabling immediate action.
• High Precision: They determine obstacle distances with millimeter accuracy, detecting even the smallest objects.
• Automatic Deceleration and Stopping: The system can slow down or stop the vehicle to prevent collision risks.
• Versatile Use: With a 360-degree scanning capability, it monitors not only the front but the entire surroundings of the vehicle.
All transfer car models developed by FADA are equipped with laser sensors that detect obstacles ahead and automatically stop to prevent accidents.
The Role of Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to detect objects around the vehicle and measure distances. These sensors emit sound waves at a specific frequency and measure the time it takes for the waves to bounce back after hitting an object, calculating the distance accordingly.
The advantages of ultrasonic sensors include:
• Cost-Effective and Efficient: They provide a reliable and economical safety solution.
• Works in Dark and Dusty Environments: Since they are not dependent on light, they function effectively in conditions where laser systems may be insufficient.
• Versatile Use: These sensors ensure safe maneuvering both at the front and rear of transfer cars.
• Dynamic Obstacle Detection: They can detect moving objects, preventing collisions.
The ultrasonic sensors used in FADA’s industrial transfer cars serve as a crucial safety system for distance and obstacle detection. In factories with high human traffic, these sensors help autonomous vehicles operate safely.
