BIBUS Solutions: Electrification & Robotics

In many industrial and logistics sectors, operators have to move trucks in narrow, technical or hard-to-reach areas. Repeated manoeuvres, in particular forced slots to orient the truck precisely, generate lost time, operational fatigue and the risk of trajectory errors. Faced with these constraints, the ability to move a trolley laterally, without additional effort or complex movement, becomes A real lever for performance and safety.

Meeting a need in the field

Our client, user of trolleys equipped with motorised wheels EZW150 or EZW160 with suspended screed, had a clearly identified need : Be able to perform lateral movements in cramped environments. This manoeuvre requires that the wheel can rotate 90° when the truck is stationary, in order to gain in precision, manoeuvrability and safety.

We have developed an innovative system that allows the EZW wheel150/160 to rotate 90° when the trolley is stationary. This solution significantly improves manoeuvring accuracy, flexibility of use and safety in everyday life.

Our solution meets several major constraints :

Maximum security : The rotation is automatically blocked when the carriage is in motion, to prevent any deviation of the trajectory.
Energy autonomy : The system is powered directly by the impeller, without the addition of an external power supply.
Mechanical compatibility With EZW150 and EZW wheels160 equipped with a suspended screed.
Reliability and Ease of use for the operator.

Solution developed by BIBUS France

We have designed a complete 90° rotation system, fully integrated and powered directly by the motorised wheel.

Key Components
Actuator : one electric actuator Bansbach EEL35.
Piloting : map EEL-S2-1.
User control : remote control EEL-HS3 two-button.
Mechanical and electrical integration developed in-house by BIBUS FRANCE.
We have thus brought Our technical expertise on the mechanical design, wiring, integration and functional safety of the project.
Design & Development
Our design office produces 3D plans, validates mechanical forces and defines the system architecture.
One Close collaboration with APEM, our partner of the EZW wheel, in order to define a safe and compatible wiring that guarantees the proper functioning of the system.
The creation of a Working prototype in our workshop, including wiring cleaning.
Tests and study record
The prototype was tested in our workshop on one of our trolleys in order to validate the robustness, safety and ergonomics of the system. A complete BIBUS Solutions study file was then produced in accordance with Our Process to industrialise our system, and ensure its monitoring and optimisation.

Thanks to this system, equipped trucks can now :

Perform lateral movements without complex manoeuvres.
Moving in areas Narrow, Technical or Difficult to access.
Save time on positioning operations.
Reduce operator fatigue and the risk of snagging.
Increase precision and Efficiency travel.

By removing the "slots" that were previously necessary, the customer optimises the organisation of his workspace and improves his ergonomics.

This development is an illustration of our ability to :

Co-innovate with our partners,
Finding solutions to the limitations of existing products,
And to respond concretely to the needs expressed by our customers in the field.
