For many manufacturing enterprises, because the warehouse often have to pick up the product, this situation requires a lot of manpower to operate, so how to reduce the labor costs in this area has become the first issue that enterprises need to consider. So there is the birth of the AGV car, AGV car automatic transportation mode can help enterprises to reduce the waste of unnecessary human resources, to ensure that enterprises can use manpower to a more useful place. AGV car in the storage of the efficiency of the above is also much higher than the ordinary pure artificial storage, and at the same time because there is no direct involvement of the workers, the safety factor is also higher.
AGV carts can drag hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects to millimeter-level precision autonomous smooth operation and AGV “legs” that is, the special wheel is closely related. Conventional AGV walking mainly by the driving wheel + driven wheels together, walking power from the AGV driving wheel, and driven wheels play a supporting role in carrying gravity and steering flexibility.
AGV casters with the most applications on the market are mainly divided into the following two categories:
Driving wheel
Drive wheels are second only to navigation control in the domestic core supply chain. With the blossoming of domestic AGV special wheel enterprises, domestic AGV has made considerable progress in cost reduction and efficiency subsequently.
In the past, the market mainly uses parallel shaft structure of the differential wheel type drive, but the parallel shaft structure of the larger volume, and the accuracy is not enough, and then gradually replaced by the planetary structure; and the development of the rudder wheel is even more blossoming, the market has appeared on the planetary, cycloid, less differential, parallel shaft and other structural modes, and has become the mainstream.
Domestic supply chain to drive wheel-based enterprises quietly rise, and quickly occupy the main domestic AGV market, and some have even begun to go out of the country, exported overseas.
Driven wheel
AGV trolley slave auxiliary wheel is generally universal wheel, thanks to the universal wheel 360 degrees rotatable characteristics, in the operation of the AGV trolley has a strong convenience, more accurate control of the positioning direction, the control, manufacturing, ground and other requirements are high, and the universal wheel industry has tended to mature, the price and cost stability.
