What technologies are used to the positioning system of stacker cranes?


Laser distance sensor determines the position of an object by emitting a laser beam and measuring the laser reflection time, which has the advantages of high accuracy and real-time performance.

The positioning system of stacker crane refers to the use of sensors, encoders and other devices to determine the position of the stacker crane in space. Common positioning techniques for stacker cranes include laser distance sensor, camera visual positioning, and inertial navigation. Laser distance sensor determines the position of an object by emitting a laser beam and measuring the laser reflection time, which has the advantages of high accuracy and real-time performance. Camera visual positioning is achieved by capturing images of the stacker crane through a camera and determining its position through algorithm analysis. Inertial navigation technology perceives the motion state and position of the stacker crane through an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The application of these positioning technologies enables stacker cranes to accurately locate and perform tasks in narrow spaces, improving the efficiency of logistics operations.

 

With the development of the logistics industry, in order to meet the demand for high-precision positioning. Precise positioning technology has emerged. Lidar navigation technology uses laser beams to scan and perceive the surrounding environment of the stacker crane, thereby achieving high-precision positioning and obstacle avoidance. Lidar navigation technology, with its high accuracy and real-time performance, has become one of the important technologies for precise positioning of stacker cranes.
