Shuttle Vehicle

Shuttle Vehicle

RGV, short for Rail Guided Vehicle, is a type of rail-guided shuttle vehicle. It can be used in warehouses with various high-density storage methods. The shuttle's aisles can be designed to any length, increasing overall warehouse storage capacity. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for forklifts to enter the aisles, enhancing safety.

Challenges Facing the Industry:

Wheel Slippage Leading to Inaccurate Positioning
During high-speed operation, the shuttle's wheels may slip, leading to inaccurate positioning and ultimately low picking efficiency.

Unsmooth Movements During Precise Positioning
Precise positioning typically requires mode switching. However, during mode switching, the shuttle experiences a noticeable pause (the motor speed initially drops to zero), resulting in unsmooth movements, reduced efficiency, and increased workload for customer engineers.

Increased Cost Pressures
Achieving high-precision positioning often requires external encoders for feedback, which increases electrical costs.

Solution Features

Dedicated Modes: 17 dedicated shuttle modes (position mode with automatic speed switching), reducing the workload for customer engineers while achieving smooth operation.

High-Speed ​​Probes: Supports position latching triggered as quickly as 62.5µs, enabling position compensation and correction for high-precision positioning.

High Space Utilization: Two-in-one driver saves installation space. Compared to similarly sized drivers and motors, it offers approximately 20% space advantage, meeting the stringent space requirements of shuttles.

Value Utilization

Cost Reduction: 5% reduction in cost per shuttle

Efficiency Improvement: 20% increase in picking efficiency

High Precision: Improved walking and positioning accuracy from ±5mm to ±2mm
