Stage Machinery Transport AGV System | Magnetic Guided AGV Project for Performances

Overview

To meet the needs of stage performances, two magnetic-guided AGVs are to be designed and manufactured for transporting the following two mechanical models.

The AGVs are required to transport the two mechanical models along a fixed route.

The project includes two magnetic-guided AGVs with a 3-ton payload capacity per unit, featuring a four-steering-wheel chassis.

The system is equipped with two 48V 150Ah spare batteries, two manual chargers, approximately 200 meters of navigation magnetic tape, as well as one set of implementation tools and one set of spare parts, ensuring reliable operation and convenient maintenance.

Safety Protection

AGVs are equipped with diagonally mounted laser obstacle avoidance sensors for non-contact detection of obstacles.
Different warning zones are set based on the distance to the obstacle:
- When an obstacle is at a farther distance, the AGV sounds an alarm and decelerates.
- When an obstacle is at a closer distance, the AGV performs an emergency stop and triggers an alarm.
After an emergency stop, if the obstacle (e.g., person or object) is removed, the AGV will resume operation following a delay of 3 seconds.
The detection distance and zones can be adjusted within a configurable range of 0.1 to 3 meters.
AGVs are also equipped with safety bumpers on all sides for contact-based obstacle detection.
Upon contact with an obstacle, the AGV immediately performs an emergency stop and sounds an alarm.
After the obstacle is removed, the AGV can continue its current task by pressing a reset button.
Additionally, the safety bumpers provide a cushioning effect, helping to reduce potential injury to personnel and damage to equipment.

Equipment Installation and Commissioning
