Specifications Magnet: Anisotropic strontium ferrite (Binder; Chlorinated polyethylene polymer alloy) Maximum Energy Product, Bd Hd max (gauss-oersteds) 1.1 x x x 10 6 Residual Induction Br (gauss)v Coercive Force Hc (oersteds) Intrinsic Coercive Force Hci (oersteds) Temperature Coefficient of Magnetization (%/C) Temperature Coefficient of Correctivity (%/C) Operation temperature -20~+60 c -20~+60 c -20~+60 c Specific Gravity Outer dimensions and installation IMGT series Straight magnetic guide tape (flat type) IMGT m length 50mm width Magnet only (50mm wide x2mm thick x 25m long / wound in a roll) A means 1mm thick; such as IMGT-50-25A, B means 50mm wide x2mm thick x 25m long Lot No. printed side is N-pole

3 IMGT-50D-L25; Self-adhesive tape is stuck on the back side (on S-pole side) Installation Remove dust, water or oil from floor. Apply bonding agent or self-adhesive tape to attach IMGT on floor. Lot number printed side is N-pole and IMGT is wound this N-pole side comes inside. Install IMGT always N-pole side up. IMGT-50L- Laminate color B=blue G=green Y=yellow Laminate covered 50mm width Laminate covered straight magnet (50mm wide x 2mm thick x 1m long) Installation Remove dust, water or oil from floor surface. Peel off the release liner and stick it on the floor along AGV route. IMGTR series Curved magneticguide tape (flat type) IMGTR- L - Laminate color B=blue G=green Y=yellow Laminate covered Radius (mm) Laminate covered curved magnet (50mm wide x 2mm thick x 30 )

Installation (1) Ditching along a route Fix an AGV route and ditch a floor with suitable equipment such as a road cutter. The depth and width of the ditch should be watched carefully during the ditching execution. (2) Embedding IMGT-6E Embed IMGT-6E into a ditch by setting grooved face of IMGT-6E upward. IMGT-6E (N-pole side should be up.) (3) Surface Protection Silicon resin can be applied on the surface of IMGT-6E for protection.

5 Magnetic flux density and characteristics of IMGT-6E. 5. Magnetic guidance path Design and build an AGV path to your exact specifications, place the magnetic tape along your required layout and go. It s that simple. If the route needs to change just pull up the tape and lay a new path. The Advantages of the AGV System The investment is a fraction of typical AGV s with laser control system. Simple Installation surface mount or in-ground guidance, no overhead rigging or disruption to operations Both the Vehicles and its route can be easily adapted to changing process requirements Presents parts ergonomically Replaces low cost, Only the need for narrow aisles Modular components for easy, cost efficient construction Inventory reduction by elimination of buffers Special programming knowledge is not required Easy to modify address marks Each address mark or route can be programmed Ability to copy/paste when editing Setting the magnetic tape routes Magnetic Guide Tape and Address Mark Mounted Magnetic Tape and Address Mark for Running control

6 Typical Route Patterns: Single Loop Multiple Loops Advantages: Multiple AGV s High density delivery Advantages: Multiple stations Single AGV Limited space required Requires call system or traffic control Back and Forth Double Loop Advantages: Fewer AGV s Reduced cost for long distances Note: In-ground Magnetic Tape and Magnet Bullet (developing) For high traffic areas and heavy-duty vehicle Bendable for curves 6. Notices Magnetic guide tape can be attached on ferrous material floor but should not be embedded in ferrous material floor, since the magnetic flux from the guide tape is greatly reduced. Magnets at vicinity of magnetic Guide ape may cause turbulence of magnetic flux distribution. proximity of strong magnet ( approx 1 KGs and more ) to magnetic guide tape may change the magneic flux distribution of guide tape. Normal running routes should keep distance more than 500 each other. Adhesion of ferrous powder iron etc. on magnetic guide tape may cause reduction of magnetic flux density. Remove the adhesive ferrous powder from guidance tape regularly. Each end of magnetic guide tape should be connected within 2 mm slit. Keep chemicals and solvent (acetone, thinner, etc.) away, since it may change the shape and characteristics of magnetic guide tape. Nonferrous material (aluminum, SUS-304, etc.) can cover magnetic guide tape for protection. But ferrous material (iron, SUS-303, etc.) should not cover magnetic guide tape since magnetic flux from magnetic guide tape is shielded at the area where is covered by ferrous material. * Specifications are subject to change without notice. *
