10-Ton Mecanum Wheel AGV: Automated Logistics Solution for Bogie Workshop

Overview

The 10-ton Mecanum wheel omni-directional AGV is designed for bogie cleaning workshops.

Utilizing magnetic navigation technology and full-directional movement capability, it enables precise and efficient automated transfer of heavy components in confined spaces, optimizing workshop logistics layout and increasing cleaning throughput.

How It Works

The AGV follows magnetic tape paths via magnetic sensors.

Its control system (employing a fuzzy PID algorithm) drives eight Mecanum wheels, synthesizing motion vectors in any direction to achieve flexible, precise omni-directional movement and accurate docking at workstations.

The Challenges

Conflict between high load capacity and maneuverability in narrow spaces.
Achieving precise positioning and motion stability under heavy loads.
Ensuring reliability in workshop conditions (e.g., water, oil stains).
Efficient coordinated scheduling of multiple AGVs.

Solutions

Implemented an 8-wheel independent Mecanum wheel system to distribute load and reduce vehicle size.
Applied a fuzzy PID control algorithm for adaptive adjustment, enhancing positioning accuracy and stability.
Used IP54-rated key components and wear-resistant wheel materials to suit harsh environments.
Deployed a central dispatch system for multi-AGV path planning and task coordination.
