INTRODUCTION
AGV is a material handling system that are independently operated, self-propelled vehicles guided along defined pathways.
Driverless Vehicle
Electric motors, battery powered
Programming capabilities
Destination
Path selection
Positioning
Collision avoidance
HISTORY OF AGV’s
The first AGV was brought to market in the 1950s, by Barrett Electronics of Northbrook. At the time it was simply a tow truck that followed a wire in the floor instead of a rail.
In 1973, Volvo developed automated guided vehicles to serve assembly platforms for moving car bodies through its final assembly plants.
Over the years, the technology has become more sophisticated and today automated vehicles are mainly Laser navigated ex: LGV.
TYPES OF AGV’s
AGV’s Towing vehicle
AGV’s Unit load carriers
AGV’s Forklift trucks
AGV’s towing vehicle
Most productive type AGV.
They are also known as Tuggers.
They operate in loops.
Equipped with several different hitch types.
2 hitch types: Ball pin hitch
Automatic hitch
AGV’s Unit load carriers
It is also known as Top carrier.
Complex drive/steer wheel.
This type of device typically include roller and chain conveyors.
Lowering or lift of the vehicle bed.
Smooth transfer of load onto or off the deck.
Dimensions of the conveyor deck vary.
Combination of Conveyer and Lift Deck AGV.
AGV’s Fork lift trucks
Handling of pallets, racks, trays, rolls and carts.
Hydraulic or Electric Actuators
Proper Handling of Damaged Products
