自动导引运输车 (AGV)
& Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)

RLS is a leading manufacturer and supplier of magnetic encoders for the AGV & AMR industry. With a wide range of design variants, industry standard output options, RLS encoders offer easy installation and reliable operation for years.

In logistic AGV/AMR sector, magnetic encoders provide excellent position feedback. Due to their non-contact operation they are extremely reliable and thanks to IP68 protection they can also be used in dusty environments.

AGV- automated guided vehicle is a portable robot that follows along marked long lines or wires on the floor, or uses radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation.

AMR - Autonomous Mobile Robot is a robot (vehicle) that uses on-board sensors and processors to autonomously move materials without the need for physical guides or markers.

AGVs & AMRs are used for moving large quantities of material repeatedly in a variety of applications in the automotive industry, logistics, smart warehouses, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and printing industries. They are designed to work in narrow aisles, reach high shelves and increase warehouse storage capacity. AGV/AMR bring considerable added value and enable flexible logistics for companies in all sectors, especially in these times when logistical bottlenecks are increasing.

AGV面临的挑战

精度为0.5°

In order for the AGV/AMR to be able to determine the exact position of the wheel an encoder has to give accurate position. To control speed and direction, encoders are critical to ensure precise and safe operation.

结构紧凑,安装简单

The encoders need to be compact. Many AGV / AMRs are compactly designed to meet the requirements of smart warehousing. Easy installation in the drive system is also an advantage.

防冲击、抗振动

When AGV or AMR operate in the plant or warehouse, they inevitably cause certain shocks and impacts due to uneven floors and messy objects. Therefore, the selected encoder must be highly resistant to shock and vibration to maintain its accuracy in the complicated environment.

工作原理是什么?

AGV & AMR drive units typically consist of a servo motor, a speed reducer, brake and tires and require an encoder to control the movement, steering and stopping of the vehicle. In speed monitoring, especially in combination with safety laser scanners for safeguarding danger points, the encoders are an essential component of a vehicle with a safety function.

通过两个电机之间的扭矩差,AGV的每个车轴/车轮可以沿轴向实现转向。每个车轴驱动器提供的角度位置反馈可以实现闭环控制。
