RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle)

RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle)

| Overview

Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV) is a flexible transportation vehicle developed by SMC's own technology. It can link multiple destinations and be a good & economic alternative of conveyor by its characteristic that it can eliminate complex and fixed layout of conveyors, which enables simple and easily maintainable transportation system.

In a system multiple vehicles can be operated according to the transportation requirement. RGV system constitutes of transportation rail, vehicles and controller. RGV rail can be installed linear or circular.

RGV is controlled by distribution control system and can be expanded easily as the system parameter changes. This characteristic cannot be obtained in normal conveyor system.

| Features

• Independent operation of vehicle by individual controller on each vehicle
• Low noise & vibration
• Modular design of drive unit to enable less parts and easy maintenance
• Relatively accurate positioning by an encoder
• Distribution control system

| Application

- Super high speed-RGV application

• Driving speed 265m/min, C/V loading speed 30m/min
• Inactivity server motor & S-curve urgent acceleration/deceleration
• Installation of absolute encoder in external timing belt
