Hawker XFC batteries from EnerSys
are being used in a new project with
automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
manufactured by JBT Corporation
for handling print reels and other
loads at a commercial printing plant
in Sheffield.
The Hawker XFC units were chosen by JBT Corporation because of compact size/shape, heavy duty performance, and quick/on-demand charging, without the need for maintenance. These features enabled the batteries to be integrated into the JBT Corporation AGVs and deliver efficient, round-the-clock operation.
Each XFC battery is approximately 30% smaller than comparable conventional units with the added advantage that it can be placed in any orientation, including upright, on its side or on its end because the dry gel electrolyte will not leak.
