5T Roller Conveyor AGV

Working Principle of 5T roller conveyor AGV

• Startup & Initialization: The autonomous navigation system uses vision sensors to scan the surrounding environment and define the working area.
• Path Planning: Upon receiving a command, the system plans the optimal travel route.
• Material Positioning: The equipment uses sensors to locate the position of the materials to be transported, reducing errors to near-zero millimeters.
• Height Adjustment: The roller platform is equipped with a hydraulic or electric lifting system to adjust its height to match the production line, ensuring accurate material placement.
• Docking Process: After completing the alignment between the material and the production line, the internal control system ensures all rollers distribute force evenly and maintain consistent speeds. This prevents the material from shifting or tilting during transfer. Once confirmed, the rollers push the material to the target position.
• Material in Place: Photoelectric sensors installed on the roller platform monitor whether the material has reached the designated position.
• Status Feedback: Once the material is confirmed to be in place, the roller transfer car restarts and proceeds to the next task.
• Obstacle Avoidance & Auto-Stop: The equipped laser anti-collision radar monitors obstacles along the path in real-time, allowing the vehicle to decelerate or stop immediately to re-plan its route.
• Interlock Protection: While the rollers are rotating, the AGV’s power system is locked to prevent any accidental movement of the vehicle.

Components of Roller Conveyor AGV

It is an intelligent handling equipment integrating material bearing, automatic conveying, and precise navigation functions. By utilizing the coordination of navigation, control, and execution systems, the roller agv can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, improving efficiency by more than 300% compared to manual handling while reducing labor costs and operational risks. It is a core equipment for logistics automation in smart factories. The 5T Roller Conveyor AGV mainly consists of the frame, battery, motor, reducer, wheels, electrical equipment, and roller conveyor belt.

• Frame: A heavy-duty chassis welded from high-strength steel, serving as the load-bearing skeleton of the entire vehicle to ensure structural stability and deformation control under a 5-ton load.
• Battery: The power source of the entire vehicle, typically using large-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery packs to provide continuous and stable electrical energy for the drive system and automated conveying tasks.
• Motor: The core drive unit, achieving smooth startup, precise cruising, and power output under load for the AGV through precision servo control.
• Reducer: Installed between the motor and the axle, it ensures high-precision positioning and stable operation of 5-ton heavy objects during movement by increasing torque and reducing speed.
• Rodas: High-pressure resistant and wear-resistant solid polyurethane wheels are selected to provide excellent load-bearing capacity while effectively protecting the factory floor from damage.
• Electrical Equipment: The “brain” and control center of the entire vehicle, integrating PLC controllers, navigation sensors, and safety radars to achieve path planning and intelligent obstacle avoidance.
• Roller Conveyor: An automated execution mechanism installed on the top of the vehicle body, responsible for docking with the production line to achieve automatic loading and unloading of heavy materials.
