16-Channel Magnetic Navigation Sensor for AGV, RGV & Shuttle Vehicles

The MLS Series Magnetic Navigation Sensor is a high-precision guidance and tracking solution designed for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Rail Guided Vehicles (RGVs), and material handling robots. Utilizing advanced Hall Effect technology, this sensor enables precise trajectory guidance, grid positioning, and correction via magnetic markers (magnetic studs).

Product Introduction

The MLS Series Magnetic Navigation Sensor is a high-precision guidance and tracking solution designed for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Rail Guided Vehicles (RGVs), and material handling robots. Utilizing advanced Hall Effect technology, this sensor enables precise trajectory guidance, grid positioning, and correction via magnetic markers (magnetic studs).

It supports various navigation path selections, including straight travel, left diverging, and right diverging, by detecting the polarity (N/S pole) and intensity of embedded magnetic strips. With a robust IP65-rated design and support for multiple industrial communication protocols (such as CANopen, RS485, and modbus-RTU), the MLS series is the ideal core component for large, heavy-load AGV navigation systems.

Key Features


  • Magnetic Trajectory Guidance: Accurately follows magnetic strips for path tracking and grid-based positioning.



  • Magnetic Stud (Marker) Correction: Ideal for calibrating the inertial navigation system of AGVs both indoors and outdoors.



  • Directional Path Selection: Supports intelligent lane changing by detecting left, right, or straight path instructions embedded in the magnetic strip.



  • High Sensitivity & Adjustability: Equipped with Hall Effect technology offering a detection accuracy of 1mm and a fast response time of 5ms. The sensitivity is fully adjustable (0-9 levels) to adapt to different magnetic environments.



  • Multi-Polarity Support: Independently configurable to detect either S-pole or N-pole, or both N/S poles simultaneously.



  • Wide Detection Range: Available in multiple lengths (160mm / 320mm / 480mm / 640mm) to accommodate various vehicle sizes and detection needs, especially suitable for large, heavy-load AGVs.



  • Interference Filtering: Advanced algorithm to filter out ambient magnetic interference, ensuring stable signal acquisition.



  • Versatile Communication: Supports RS232, RS485 (Modbus-RTU), CAN, CANopen, and Ethernet TCP/UDP for seamless integration.
