Order picker and reach trucks offer programmable flexibility

Article Abstract:

Toyota Industrial Equipment introduces 3,000- to 5,000-lb-capacity electric single reach, double reach and straddle lift trucks. The models, all included in the Toyota 6-Series line, offer faster travel speeds, sturdy construction and electronic features for excellent performance and maneuverability in narrow aisles. Each unit features the Toyota Advanced Control System (TACS), together with Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET), which allows the operator to customize lift, travel and acceleration speeds at the mere push of a button. A 360-degree electronic power steering system enables the operator of the reach truck to operate in a quiet, responsive manner. A built-in analyzer provides step-by-step remedies, resulting in easy serviceability and doing away with peripheral, hand-held diagnostics.

Automation at Lucent Technologies

Article Abstract:

Lucent Technologies' Merrimack Valley Works in northeast Massachusetts, the company's main facility for making products used in optical networking and telecommunications, has adopted an automated transport system from Shuttleworth Inc. The company decided to use the computer-controlled system when a simulation of the plant's production revealed the need to build as many as four to six new testing facilities for it to effectively cope with the facility's production volume. By adopting a system that utilizes a slip-torque conveyor to direct the product to its correct destination, Lucent's Merrimack Valley Works was able to create efficiencies in the use of both labor and capital.
