Working Principle of Electric Transfer Cart
Electric Transfer Cart can be divided into two major types, railed and trackless, according to different ways of guiding, and their working principles are as follows:
Rail Electric Transfer Cart
Rail electric transfer cart realizes physical guidance through preset rails (steel rails or I/U rails), and is driven by motor-driven gears or friction wheels that mesh with the rails for transmission, ensuring high precision positioning of ±2-5mm.
Its power supply includes low-voltage rail power supply (36V/48V DC), cable reel or battery, which is suitable for heavy loads (up to 300 tons) and long-distance transportation. The control system adopts PLC or frequency conversion technology, supports automated scheduling (e.g. RFID positioning), and is suitable for fixed-point, highly repetitive operations, commonly used in iron and steel metallurgy, heavy machinery and three-dimensional warehouse scenarios.
Trackless Electric Transfer Cart
Trackless Electric Transfer Cart relies on magnetic navigation (±10mm), laser navigation (±5mm), or inertial navigation to realize an autonomous trajectory, without the need for fixed tracks. Driven by omnidirectional wheels (e.g., McNamee wheels) and independent servo motors, they support 360° steering and dynamic path planning.
Powered by a Li-ion battery (4-8 hours range), combined with an intelligent control system (e.g., ROS algorithm), it can be docked to WMS/ERP and realize multi-vehicle cooperation (AGV cluster). With high flexibility (turning radius <1m) and a load capacity of 0.5-50 tons, they are suitable for flexible production lines, automotive assembly, and narrow space operations.
