With the emergence of intelligent manufacturing in the world on a large scale, and then triggered by the fourth industrial revolution also makes the intelligent manufacturing industry has made rapid development, as one of the core equipment of intelligent logistics mobile handling robots in recent years has shown explosive growth, RGV is also an indispensable part of the automated logistics system.
With the development of automated logistics systems and automated warehouses in China and even in the world, many shortcomings of general automated systems and warehouses are exposed, in order to be able to make up for these shortcomings, the RGV (Railed Shuttle Vehicle) has been created, which can be very convenient to automatically connect with other logistics systems, such as outbound/inbound platforms, a variety of buffer stations, conveyors, lifts, and robots, etc., to carry out material transportation according to the plan. The material is transported according to the plan. In addition, it requires no personnel and operates quickly. Therefore, it significantly reduces the workload of warehouse managers and improves labor productivity, while the application of the shuttle can make the logistics system become very simple.
RGV: The full name is Rail Guided Vehicle, i.e. "Rail Guided Vehicle", also called "Rail Shuttle Vehicle". As it can shuttle back and forth on the pre-set right-angled track, it can realize material handling at different positions of multiple stations, and is the carrier of intelligent production line, featuring large load, fast running speed, strong flexibility, stable and reliable system, and so on.
RGV is commonly used in all kinds of high-density storage mode of three-dimensional warehouse, trolley aisle can be designed according to the needs of any length, and in the handling, moving goods without other equipment into the aisle, fast speed, high security, can effectively improve the operational efficiency of the warehouse system.
Performance Characteristics.
1, RGV has a wide range of applications in the logistics system and the production line of the station system, such as out / into the warehouse station, a variety of buffer stations, conveyors, lifts and line-side workstations, etc., in accordance with the plan and instructions for the delivery of materials, which can significantly reduce the cost of transportation and improve the efficiency of transportation.
2, RGV due to the tracked driving, its application is relatively simple, commonly classified in accordance with two ways to identify, one is in accordance with the function can be divided into assembly-type RGV and transportation-type RGV two major types, mainly used for material handling, workshop assembly, etc.; Second, according to the movement can be divided into circular track type and linear reciprocating, circular track type RGV system is highly efficient, can be more than one car at the same time, linear reciprocating general only one RGV system can be divided into circular track type and linear reciprocating. Reciprocating type generally has only one RGV, doing linear reciprocating movement, the efficiency is relatively low compared to the ring RGV system.
3, in the structure of the RGV is mainly composed of the frame, drive wheels, followers, front and rear bumpers, chain conveyor, communication system, electrical system and each cover plate. Due to the simple structure of RGV, strong anti-interference ability to the external environment, the operator requirements are also broader, strong operational stability, relatively few failures occur, basically concentrated in the sliding contact line system, the overall maintenance costs are relatively low, high reliability.
Today's booming e-commerce industry, the increasing demand for various types of automated logistics equipment for the development and innovation of such equipment has brought a huge market and opportunities, and now the pace of development of industrial automation is getting faster and faster, the development and application of new technologies, new techniques are also constantly pushing the new, we can make full use of these favorable conditions, and constantly absorbed and refined, will help to improve the performance of the equipment to the automation of the combination of the technology applied to the development and design of logistics equipment will certainly be a benign development of products to promote the progress of the entire logistics automation industry to produce a positive impact.
