Design considering strength! A case where modifications to existing ground conveyors were minimized.
We would like to introduce a case study of a certain automotive parts manufacturer that implemented an "Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) System." The company planned to introduce automated guided vehicles due to changes in the factory layout, but a challenge arose with the low transfer height of the conveyor in relation to the weight of the workpiece-loaded pallets. With a transfer height of only 250mm, there was a risk of operators needing to push the workpieces onto the AGV, which posed a danger of people riding on the AGV. To address this, a checker plate was laid on the AGV conveyor roller section, and the design was considered with strength in mind for any unforeseen circumstances. By achieving a transfer height of 250mm with the AGV, the need for modifications to the existing ground conveyor was minimized. 【Case Overview】 ■Industry: Manufacturing ■System Implemented: Automated Guided Vehicle System ■Implementation Site: A certain automotive parts manufacturer *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
