SmartPed - Smarter than

The centerpiece of the range is
our SmartPed totally
free-roaming
pedestal that provides XY and height
movement, and follows any path you
care to design. SmartPed's proven
reputation as a highly

capable,
adaptable robotic

software tools within
system,
such as StudioView, make operating
several SmartPeds simultaneously a
breeze. The Sequence mode enables
complex paths to be created and
recalled with a touch on the screen
time and again.
Safety zones programmed on the
TR-XT system prevent any SmartPed
from moving into restricted areas,
and all-round collision avoidance
sensors detect any object in its path.
Finally, a floor level bumper detector
stops the pedestal should anything
come into contact.
And
don't
forget, the whole
pedestal can be operated locally,
with full fluid damped PT head and
smooth local XY control.
