The new PF3 automated guided vehicle (AGV) platform from Stäubli has everything users need: It is compact, dynamic, and has an exceptionally high payload. The range of applications for this AGV is also broad. Whether working on the production line or transporting goods of up to three tons, the PF3 excels in many scenarios. Jan Louwen, Global Head of AGV and Managing Director of the Stäubli site in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, sees the vehicle's versatility as an outstanding feature: "The PF3 is a true all-rounder. For example, it can be used to first lift Euro pallets and then move the palletized goods from point A to point B in production. These are strong arguments for users because they can fulfill different applications with one type of vehicle. With this solution, you are universally positioned in the load range of up to three tons." The goal was to provide a compact AGV whose high payload could be fully developed even with structural hurdles and insufficient space. Stäubli has more than succeeded in this with the Red Dot Award-winning PF3. With dimensions of just 1,750 x 970 x 400 mm, the mobile transport platform fits into the dimensions of common industrial vehicles, but at the same time impresses with an exceptionally high payload of three tons.
