The world's first AGV was born in 1953 and transformed from a tractor. It has been more than 60 years since the birth of the first AGV. At present, AGV handling robots have made great progress in the world. The main changes are the guiding mode of AGV, the number of AGV users and the number of AGV manufacturers.
China's AGV has a short history of development, but has been constantly increasing investment in this field. The AGV market has not been dominated by several foreign brands like articulated industrial robots, which is a great blessing for domestic mobile robots. Although the development of AGV in China began in the 1960s, it has been slow for a long time. In recent years, the sales volume of AGV robots in China has continued to grow under the protection of the surge in domestic demand for industrial robots and various policies such as "Made in China 2025" and smart logistics. Storage and logistics robot AGV - small shape, light load This kind of robot is mainly used in 3C, e-commerce, express delivery and other fields. Its main feature is that it thinks that the load type is relatively small, the load is relatively light, the load is one ton, two tons, and Z is several hundred kilograms smaller. In terms of logistics, it is mainly divided into the following three categories, including intelligent picking, intelligent transportation, and intelligent picking.
Industrial logistics robot AGV - various types and heavy load Such robots are mainly used in engineering machinery, national defense and military industry, banknote printing and coinage, printing, food, medicine, tires, glass fiber, aerospace and other fields.
This type of AGV can be divided into fork AGV according to its form. The AGV used is mainly the AGV converted from the forklift used in the market. If there is no forklift used in the operation, it can be converted into AGV, which can save some costs. Fork type AGV is characterized by large load, and the load of Z type AGV can reach 5 tons. In addition, the main feature is that the lifting height is relatively low, generally about 250 mm, so it is suitable for carrying goods from quantitative to low volume in the factory. Fork type AGV has high stability. The camel type AGV can be used for electronic transmission in the fiberglass industry, transportation of military material reserves, printing industry, and composite flexible packaging printing and dyeing according to the production needs and product handling product categories. Heavy load AGV is mainly used for heavy load of construction machinery, and the bearing capacity can reach 10-20T. There are other types of AGV, which are applicable to rail transit (urban rail bogie, axle suspension gear ring) and aviation manufacturing (aircraft skin drilling and riveting).
