A forklift includes a vehicle and a cargo handling device. The cargo handling device includes a mast, a lift bracket, and a pair of forks that includes claw portions, the forks being separated from each other in a vehicle width direction. The vehicle includes a vehicle main body, and a pair of straddle legs that is provided such that the straddle legs extend to the front side from a lower portion of the vehicle main body and the cargo handling device is interposed between the straddle legs in the vehicle width direction and that supports the mast such that the cargo handling device is movable forward and backward between an advance position and a retreat position, and front ends of the claw portions are positioned behind front ends of the straddle legs when the cargo handling device is at the retreat position.

Forklift, cargo handling system, loading method, and forklift control device

An initial setting method of an unmanned forklift is an initial setting method when the unmanned forklift is introduced in a facility including a rack structure, which includes placing a palette for adjustment on a palette placing part of the rack structure using the unmanned forklift on the basis of a preset operation program, acquiring relative position information between the palette for adjustment and the rack structure using a position information acquisition part included in the palette for adjustment, and calculating the shift amount of the palette for adjustment placed on the rack structure with respect to the palette placing part on the basis of the relative position information.

Initial setting method of unmanned forklift, palette for adjustment, and adjustment system of unmanned forklift

The initial setting method for the unmanned forklift includes a step of acquiring a measurement value of floor surface inclination of a stop position where the unmanned forklift stops when the unmanned forklift unloads a palette on a rack, a step of setting the stop position where a predetermined inclination pattern is detected, as a precise adjustment position, from the acquired measurement value, a step of causing the unmanned forklift to unload the palette in accordance with an operation program, and measuring a deviation amount of the palette unloaded by the unmanned forklift, at the precise adjustment position, and a step of correcting a command value of the unmanned forklift at the stop position, based on the measured deviation amount.

Initial setting method for unmanned forklift

A control device includes a route acquisition unit configured to acquire routes of a movable body for moving target objects to or from a target position at which the target objects are to be picked up or dropped, a reference position/posture acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a position at which the movable body picks up or drops a first target object of the target objects at the target position, and an information output unit configured to output information acquired by the route acquisition unit to the movable body. The route acquisition unit is configured to acquire the routes of the movable body for moving second and subsequent target objects of the target objects, based on the information acquired by the reference position/posture acquisition unit.

Control device, movement control system, control method, and program

A forklift apparatus includes: an error prediction unit configured to predict a first positional error which is a positional error after picking-up between a standard position of a fork and a central position of a pallet on the fork after the pallet is picked up and a first angle error which is an angle error after picking-up with respect to the fork in the pallet; a travel route correction unit configured to correct a travel route from a picking-up position of the pallet to a stacking position of the pallet to offset the first positional error and the first angle error when the pallet is stacked; and a conveyance travel control unit configured to perform travel control such that the pallet is conveyed along the corrected travel route.

Forklift apparatus, forklift control method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A position calculation system includes a managing unit managing a current position of a plurality of automated guided vehicles; and a position calculating unit calculating a position of the target automated guided vehicle based on a detection result, detected by the laser measuring device mounted on the target automated guided vehicle, of detecting each reflection light reflected from a specific number being two or more of reflection sources, position information of which is obtainable, existing at positions on mutually different directions viewing from the target automated guided vehicle. Here, when the reflection sources with the reflection light therefrom detected include a mounted reflection source mounted on another automated guided vehicle other than the target automated guided vehicle, the position calculating unit obtains the position information of the mounted reflection source based on the current position managed by the managing unit, and calculates a position of the target automated guided vehicle.

A steam valve has a tubular stop valve configured to move toward an upper end side and a lower end side along an axial direction when the stop valve is opened and closed respectively; and a valve main body configured to accommodate the stop valve. The stop valve has a ring-shaped protrusion portion protruded outwardly in a radial direction. The valve main body has an accommodation space for accommodating the protrusion portion which is divided by the protrusion portion into a first pressure space and a second pressure space. First and second feed/discharge portions configured for adjusting a pressure in the first pressure space and the second pressure space respectively are further provided. The protrusion portion is moved upwardly and downwardly by adjusting the pressure in the first pressure space and the second pressure space.

Steam valve, power generation system, and inspection method for steam valve

A forklift includes a vehicle body, a fork having a distal end extending in a first direction of a first axis, a mast extending along a second axis intersecting the first axis and holding a proximal end of the fork such that the fork is configured to slide along the second axis, and a first sliding mechanism configured to cause the mast to slide along the first axis such that the distal end of the fork protrudes from the vehicle body.

Forklift

A steam valve has a tubular stop valve configured to move toward an upper/lower end side along a direction of an axis when the stop valve is opened/closed; and a valve main body accommodating the stop valve, wherein a base end portion including an end portion of the stop valve at the upper end side is accommodated in a first accommodation space formed in the valve main body, the base end portion has a plurality of inclination surfaces formed on an outer circumference of the base end portion which are inclined such that a distance from the axis to each of the plurality of inclination surfaces decreases toward the upper end side, and a plurality of contact surfaces are formed in the first accommodation space to come in contact with the plurality of inclination surfaces respectively when the stop valve moves toward the upper end side.

Steam valve, and power generation system

A forklift includes a lift bracket which is supported on a mast so as to be capable of being moved upward or downward along the mast, and a fork member having a fork claw portion on which a pallet is allowed to be placed, and supported on the lift bracket. The lift bracket has a support portion which is on a tip portion of the lift bracket and supports the fork member. When a weight is applied onto the fork claw portion, the fork member is configured to rotate around the support portion which is configured to serve as a pivot, in response to an application force exerted onto the fork claw portion.
