Magnetic Strip AGV Facilitates Programmed Handling in Production Workshops

With the continuous deepening of modern industrialization, the requirements for material handling tools in production workshops are getting higher and higher. Efficient and precise material handling is particularly crucial for improving overall production efficiency.​
In order to address the handling dilemmas in workshops, such as low efficiency due to human dependence, lack of accuracy, and high safety risks, we have launched this customized 5-ton AGV.​
First:This AGV has multiple advantages:​

• High automation, reducing human dependence: The AGV adopts remote control and PLC coding control, enabling automated handling and reducing the need for a large number of manual labor. Operators can either issue commands through the telecontrol operate or preset handling routes and tasks relying on the PLC coding system. The trackless transfer vehicle can then independently complete the handling work, greatly improving handling efficiency.​
• Precise positioning and operation: Equipped with magnetic strip navigation, the AGV can accurately travel along the preset magnetic strip track, ensuring that goods are delivered to the specified location accurately. The flat structure is equipped with a spiral screw lifting platform, which can precisely control the working height to meet the requirements of different workstations for material height and improve handling accuracy.​
• Multiple safety guarantees: Equipped with a laser anti-collision device for people. When it detects people or obstacles in front, the trackless transfer vehicle can immediately stop running, effectively avoiding collision accidents and ensuring personnel safety.​

Second:Working Principle​

• Navigation system: The magnetic strip navigation system is the action guide of the 5 tons AGV. Magnetic strips are pre-laid on the floor of the production workshop. The sensors at the bottom of the 5 tons AGV can identify the magnetic strip signals and thus travel along the established route.​
• Power and control: It is electrically driven, and the automatic charging pile ensures sufficient power for the vehicle. Through PLC coding control, the speed, driving direction, start and stop of the vehicle can be accurately regulated.​
• Operation and execution: The spiral screw lifting platform is driven by a motor and can adjust the platform height according to actual needs, facilitating the loading and unloading of goods. The 360-degree rotating steering wheel enables the vehicle to turn flexibly and even rotate in place, adapting to operations in narrow spaces.​

Thrid:Working Procedure​

• Task assignment: Operators input handling task commands through the remote control or preset task processes in the PLC coding system. For example, move steel from workstation A to workstation B.​
• Autonomous operation: After receiving the command, the AGV starts and travels along the magnetic strip track to workstation A. Upon arrival, the spiral screw lifting platform adjusts to an appropriate height to complete the loading of goods.​
• Transportation and delivery: The vehicle transports the items to workstation B along the preset route. Then, it adjusts the height of the lifting platform again to complete the unloading of goods. If it encounters people or obstacles on the way, the laser anti-collision device for people is activated, and the vehicle continues to drive after the obstacle is removed.​
• Charging and maintenance: When the battery level is low, the AGV automatically travels to the automatic charging pile for charging. The intelligent charging pile can intelligently adjust the charging time according to the vehicle's battery level to ensure that the vehicle is always in a usable state.​

This 5 tons AGV is not only suitable for handling workpieces and steel in production workshops but also applicable in other manufacturing fields, such as handling parts in automotive manufacturing workshops and handling precision components in electronic equipment production workshops. Its flexible operation performance and high degree of automation can adapt to different workshop layouts and handling requirements, providing efficient and intelligent handling solutions for various production environments.
