Application of heavy-duty AGV in the transformer industry
As the core equipment of the power system, the manufacturing process of the transformer involves the handling and assembly of a large number of heavy components (such as iron cores, coils, fuel tanks, etc.). The traditional transportation methods that rely on driving, forklifts or manual collaboration have problems such as low efficiency, great safety hazards, and insufficient precision.
Heavy-duty AGV has become the core equipment for the transformer industry to achieve automation upgrades with its high load capacity, precise positioning and intelligent scheduling.
Transformer industry-project description
Accessories: AGV (3 tons-50 tons) for flexible indoor transportation of accessories such as coils and cores in the factory
Main goals:
Build a modern flexible production line with AGV as the main carrier,
Automated handling of the production process is achieved through the AGV system to meet the production capacity requirements;
According to the assembly process requirements, design the optimal assembly automation tooling to ensure mixed production of multiple models.
Q: Which type of navigation should you choose?
A: As we have seen, AGVs can move using different types of navigation technologies.
Laser guidance:
AGVs are equipped with a rotating laser that detects reflectors in their environment and determines their position very precisely.
They are very accurate and can handle products to a quarter of a centimeter.
They are particularly suitable for medical applications.
Wire guidance:
AGVs travel along a ground track, which can be made of wires, rails, magnetic lines of force or cables.
But you must install the guides to use this technology.
You should only choose this option if your application does not require flexibility.
Vision guidance:
AGVs follow a path drawn on the ground that is recognized by a camera.
The installation costs are lower than with wire guidance, and this type of AGV does not require any special installation work.
Geographical navigation:
AGVs contain a mapped representation of their environment in their system, allowing them to move independently without the need to adjust the infrastructure.
It automatically calculates the itinerary.
This technology is very flexible, as the AGV's map can be modified at any time by operating directly on the mapping software.
This is the most reliable solution.
Q: Would an AGV be a good solution?
A: This is a good question because there are many material handling solutions on the market! Which one is the right choice? First, an AGV is a movable platform used to move materials, components, and other items horizontally. The weight of the load and the travel requirements of the application must be considered.
Q: What are the benefits of using heavy-duty AGVs?
A: Heavy-duty AGVs are transport vehicles used to load and transport heavy parts or components, and are one of the most critical equipment in current logistics automation systems. AGV transfer vehicles are more suitable for moving long loads through restricted passages or doorways. For heavier loads, AGV transfer vehicles are a very affordable option because they are able to handle heavy loads. Heavy-duty AGV transport has the advantages of easy operation, high safety, and stable operation. It has automatic lifting, hydraulic independent suspension, automatic leveling, automatic operation, anti-collision, rapid operation, all-round steering, and adaptability to uneven ground.
Q: What product handling applications use heavy-duty AGV transfer vehicles?
A: Heavy-duty AGVs are mainly used in warehousing, manufacturing, ports, airports, hazardous places, special industries, etc. to realize the automated handling of large materials (overweight, overlong), improve the level of logistics automation in the heavy-duty field, reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve production efficiency, shorten the logistics cycle, accelerate capital turnover, and improve economic benefits.
