AGV wheel block systems are versatile components used in various applications, typically in material handling or transportation systems. They can be configured in different ways to support loads, facilitate movement, or provide stability. These wheel block systems feature a modular design that allows for easy assembly, disassembly, and customization based on specific operational needs. They can be used in setups like conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles, or even in heavy machinery to enhance mobility and efficiency.

One of the most reliable application for DRS wheel block system is to installed on the AGVs. AGVs, or Automated Guided Vehicles, are autonomous vehicles used for material handling tasks in various industries such as manufacturing, warehousing and logistics.

Advantages of AGV Wheel Block System

Reduced Noise: PU-coated wheel blocks provide quieter operation compared to steel wheels, making them more suitable for environments where noise reduction is important, such as warehouses and manufacturing process.

Better Floor Protection: Polyurethane wheel blocks are softer than steel wheels, which helps prevent damage to floors. Steel AGV wheels can cause scuffing or scratching, whereas PU-coated wheels minimize wear and tear on the floor surface.

Shock Absorption: PU has inherent shock-absorbing properties, which helps protect both the AGV and its cargo from bumps and vibrations, ensuring a smoother transport experience.

Durability and Wear Resistance: While PU is softer than steel, it is also highly durable and resistant to wear from continuous use, providing a longer lifespan under normal operating conditions.

Corrosion Resistance: AGV wheel blocks does not rust, which can be an advantage in environments where moisture or chemicals are present. Steel wheels may require additional coatings to prevent corrosion.

Flexibility for Customization: wheel blocks coated with PU can be easily molded and customized for different applications, including varying hardness levels and tread patterns to suit specific operational needs.

AGVs are widely used in various industries for efficient material handling and logistics. In warehouses and distribution centers, they transport goods, optimizing workflows and reducing labor costs. In manufacturing, AGVs move raw materials to production lines and deliver finished products. The automotive industry relies on them to transport components between assembly stations, while they are also essential in cold chain logistics for moving temperature-sensitive products.
