Frequently Asked Questions

What is the speed of the vertical lift (VTU)?

Nominal speed of RAFT is 2 meters per second. Top travel speeds can vary for loaded and unloaded, as well as load specific travel speeds and acceleration/deceleration curves.

Ex. Liquids typically travel at lower speeds and slower curves due to the physical properties of the load. The unit can be capable of higher speeds if required, however, a typical layout would not usually allow for higher speeds to result in increased throughput.The number of 90-degree transfers and the distance between them would not typically allow any substantial benefit for running faster unless the system footprint is large enough that empty straight line travel distance is long enough for a higher speed to be truly beneficial.

What is the charge time of the RAFT robot?

How long can the RAFT robot operate before it must re-charge?

Do the RAFT robots “know” when their batteries get down to about 15-20% and will they automatically return to a charging position at that point?
