Working Principle
AGV Automated Guided Cart collects environmental data in real time through LIDAR/vision/magnetic navigation sensors and realizes high-precision autonomous positioning by combining SLAM algorithm. Then the central control system generates the optimal route based on the path planning algorithm and integrates multi-sensor data for dynamic obstacle avoidance. The servo drive system accurately controls the wheel movement to arrive at the target position smoothly.
Parts
AGV Automated Guided Cart consists of navigation system, drive system, traverse/rotation, control system, power system, safety system, actuator and other components, the following are the functional characteristics of each component:
- Navigation system: including LIDAR/2D code/magnetic stripe/inertial navigation, which can realize precise positioning and path tracking, and adapt to different environments (SLAM technology supports trackless navigation).
- Drive system: consists of servo motor + reducer + drive wheel, provides smooth operation, supports forward/backward/traverse/rotation (omnidirectional AGV adopts McNamee wheel).
- Control system: composed of PLC/ICC + scheduling software, used to process sensor data and manage multi-vehicle cooperative operation (e.g. traffic control, task assignment).
- Power system: composed of Li-ion battery/supercapacitor, the endurance time is usually 4-12 hours, supporting fast charging or automatic charging.
- Safety system: Equipped with laser obstacle avoidance sensor/emergency stop button/anti-collision bar, conforms to ISO 3691-4 safety standard, automatically decelerates or stops when encountering obstacles.
- Actuator: composed of jacking platform/mechanical arm/roller conveyor, which can be adapted to different carriers (pallets, bins, containers) according to the demand to realize automatic loading and unloading.
