INDUSTRIAL TRUCK COMPRISING A DEVICE FOR REDUCING VIBRATIONS
The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising
a chassis (6),
a mast (8) arranged on the chassis (6) in an upright position, a load-carrying apparatus (36), which has at least one load-receiving means (42) for receiving a load that is to be transported,
a support structure (9) that supports the load-carrying apparatus (36) on the mast (8) and can be moved, together with the load-carrying apparatus (36), upwards and downwards on the mast (8), and comprising
a device (54) for reducing vibrations,
wherein the device (54) for reducing vibrations has at least one additional mass body (60), which is supported by the mast (8) or the components connected thereto and is not constantly rigidly coupled to the mast (8) or the support structure (9) or the load-carrying apparatus (36), but is movably mounted by means of a bearing arrangement (62) such that it is movable relative to the mast (8) in response to mast vibrations, in particular to mast vibrations having horizontal vibration components, in order to counteract mast vibrations.
COLLISION SIMULATION TEST APPARATUS AND IMPACT TEST APPARATUS
A collision simulation test apparatus including a table to which a test piece is to be attached, the table being movable in a predetermined direction, a toothed belt for transmitting power to drive the table, a drive module capable of driving the toothed belt, and a control part capable of controlling the drive module. The control part is capable of controlling the drive module to generate an impact to be applied to the test piece, and the impact generated by the drive module is transmitted to the table by the toothed belt.
Stacker crane
A first wheel supporting portion of a stacker crane is fixed to a travelling vehicle main body to be pivotable in the horizontal direction. A first drive wheel is supported by the first wheel supporting portion and is able to contact one side surface of a lower guide rail. A lock mechanism fixes the first wheel supporting portion to the travelling vehicle main body so that the first wheel supporting portion cannot pivot. A second wheel supporting portion is fixed to the travelling vehicle main body to be capable of pivoting horizontally. A second drive wheel is supported by the second wheel supporting portion and is able to contact with another side surface of the lower guide rail. A pressing mechanism presses the first and second wheel supporting portions such that a distance between the first wheel supporting portion and the second wheel supporting portion is reduced, to cause the first and second drive wheels to laterally clamp the lower guide rail. Pressing of the pressing mechanism is capable of being released.

Load-Receiving Device
Load-receiving device (1) for storing a cuboidal load (2) in a rack and for retrieving it therefrom, comprising two extendable telescopic arms (3, 4) which are spaced apart in parallel and on which there are arranged drivers (30, 40, 31, 41, 32, 42) situated opposite one another in pairs, which drivers can be pivoted into a swung-up position and into a position projecting at a right angle thereto, wherein the distance (d) between the telescopic arms (3, 4) is fixed or can be set in dependence on the width of the load. There is provision that each of the drivers (30, 40) situated opposite one another in pairs can be pivoted independently of the respective opposite driver, and/or that at least one of the drivers (30, 40) can be pivoted into at least one oblique intermediate position, that at least two mutually opposite edge detectors (300, 400, 302, 402) are arranged on the telescopic arms (3, 4) and are assigned to two mutually opposite drivers (30, 40, 32, 42), and that the drivers (30, 40) can be pivoted independently of one another in dependence on the output signal from the edge detectors (300, 400, 302, 402).
Shelving system having a shuttle vehicle
A shuttle vehicle is provided for transporting stored goods in a shelving system. The shuttle vehicle includes a running gear having wheels mounted thereon in order to move the shuttle vehicle along guide rails of the shelving system. A telescopic system is movably guided at the running gear, which can be retracted and extended relative to the running gear in a plane in a self-supporting manner on both sides of the running gear A lifting system is provided for raising and lowering the telescopic system relative to the guide rails of the shelving system. A shelving system is also provided which uses the shuttle system.
Robot delivery system
A system for delivering an article from a first location to a second location with a robot having a closeable transport container for housing the article during transport. A closeable recipient container is provided at the second location for receiving the article. At least one computer configured to navigate the robot over an outdoor transportation network between locations is provided. The robot has a robot article transport mechanism controlled by the at least one computer for removing the article from the transport container and the recipient container has a recipient article transport mechanism for moving the article inside the recipient container.
Fork-lift truck and method for operating a fork-lift truck
A fork-lift truck includes a load carrier, a first optical detector, an optical analyzing unit, and a second optical detector. The analyzing unit receives and analyses information from the second optical detector, wherein the first and second optical detector are movable together with the load carrier, and the first optical detector is positioned in relation to the load carrier, such that a first field of view includes at least a part of the load carrier and an extension of the load carrier. The second optical detector is positioned, such that a second field of view includes a predetermined volume above the load carrier The position and orientation of the second detector is calibrated in relation to a predetermined position on the fork-lift truck, in case one or more objects are positioned in the predetermined volume, at least one three-dimensional relative position can be determined.
