ZLINK Under-run 1000kg Automated Guided Vehicle

ZLINK Under-run 1000kg overview

The ZLINK Under-run 1000kg is a low-profile automated guided vehicle designed for under-carriage transport within the ZL Series. Its published rated load is 1,000 kg. The intended setting is warehouse logistics and production line material handling, including the wet wipes manufacturing context described by ZLINK.

The defining selection issue is the relationship between the vehicle and the carriage above it. An under-run arrangement is different from fork-based pallet handling: the suitability review should address the supporting structure, underside clearance and transfer geometry. A matching payload rating is only one part of establishing whether a proposed carriage can be transported.

Low-profile design

Clearance and carriage geometry

Published dimensions are 1,250 mm in length, 1,200 mm in width and 190 mm in height. Machine mass is 340 kg. The 190 mm body height is particularly relevant when comparing the vehicle with a carriage opening, but it should not be treated as a complete minimum-clearance requirement without the applicable drawing and operating allowances.

The manufacturer lists lifting dimension hc as 93 mm and the separate dimension h2-h3 as 245 mm. These labels should remain distinct during engineering discussions. Ask for a dimensioned arrangement showing the starting position, raised position and carriage interface before deciding whether an existing frame can be retained.

Navigation, drive and operator interface

The Under-run model is listed with LSLAM/QR code navigation and differential drive. Its stated positioning accuracy is ±10 mm and ±1°. The HMI is described as a display screen; the source does not identify it as a touch screen for this model.

Confirm whether the proposed project will use LSLAM, QR navigation or a particular combination, and review any associated site preparation. Published positioning figures are useful reference points for transfer design, but the required alignment and acceptance criteria should be agreed for the actual carriage and station rather than assumed from the family overview.

Technical specification reference

These dimensions describe the published vehicle, not every possible transported assembly. Check the outer dimensions and movement envelope of the carriage and its load separately, especially where loads project beyond the supporting frame.

Applications for under-carriage transport

A potential application is repeated movement of compatible material carriages between production and staging locations. In a wet wipes manufacturing project, the relevant question is how materials are supported and presented at each end of the route. The industry application does not establish compatibility with a particular production machine or container.

Under-carriage transport may be considered where an existing process already organizes materials on frames or carriers. Before selecting the vehicle, document the carrier's construction, loading pattern, total transported mass and pickup geometry. These checks determine the project requirements; they do not imply that a carrier, lifting fixture or transfer station is included with the vehicle.

Integration considerations

The vehicle's 1,200 mm width and 820 mm turning radius should be reviewed alongside the published 1,800 mm minimum right-angle passing width. A narrow opening under a carriage and adequate route clearance are separate requirements. Include loaded turns, approach alignment and space around charging locations in the layout review.

Operational planning should also identify who presents carriages, how completed transfers are confirmed and how exceptions will be handled. Any connection to production controls or warehouse software requires separate technical confirmation because the available information does not define an integration protocol or supported application interface.

Battery and shift planning

This model's detailed battery entry identifies lithium iron phosphate, rated at 48 V and 28 Ah. Both automatic and manual charging are listed. ZLINK's family FAQ gives 6–8 hours of operating time and recharge periods of up to 1.5–2 hours depending on the model; actual scheduling should be reviewed against the agreed workload and charging arrangement.

Pricing and availability

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on the selected configuration. Provide carriage drawings, load information, route dimensions and the intended transfer sequence when requesting a proposal. Confirm which commissioning activities, fixtures and project services are included rather than treating them as standard supplied items.

Supply is subject to availability confirmation. Neither inventory nor a delivery lead time is established by the manufacturer's specification page. Obtain current commercial terms and confirm the final technical configuration before committing to an installation schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Under-run model intended to move?

ZLINK describes it as a low-profile vehicle for under-carriage transport, with a rated load of 1,000 kg.

Will it fit beneath an existing carriage?

The listed vehicle height is 190 mm, but compatibility also requires checking the complete underside geometry, lifting arrangement and operating clearances.

Does this model have a touch screen?

The technical table identifies a display screen. Touch operation is not established for the Under-run model.

What battery is specified?

The detailed entry lists a 48 V, 28 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery and automatic/manual charging.

Is a carriage or software interface included?

The published information does not establish either inclusion. Define the carrier, controls and integration scope in the project quotation.

Summary

The ZLINK Under-run 1000kg is distinguished by its 190 mm vehicle height, under-carriage transport role and 1,000 kg rated load. A sound selection depends on matching the carriage interface, lifting dimensions and loaded route envelope to the proposed material flow.
