The four-way shuttle is an advanced automatic material handling equipment, which can not only make the goods automatically stored and stored in the warehouse according to needs, but also organically connect with the production links outside the warehouse. It is convenient to form an advanced logistics system and improve the management level of enterprises.
The four-way shuttle car is a storage robot that can shuttle in four directions (front, back, left, right) in the plane. It is an intelligent handling device that can not only walk longitudinally but also laterally on the rack track, and is used to realize the inbound and outbound operations of bins or cartons; The material box is taken out by the rail and transported to the designated exit position. It is an intelligent handling device that integrates automatic handling, unmanned guidance, intelligent control and other functions.
Four way shuttle is different from traditional shuttle
The four-way shuttle is mainly different from the traditional two-way shuttle (forward and backward). Compared with AGV, the shuttle robot needs to run on the track, which is its disadvantage as well as its advantage. That is, when running on a fixed track, the trolley will be faster, the positioning will be more accurate, and the control will be relatively simple, which is beyond the AGV system. At the same time, the four-way shuttle can work in different directions, with stronger applicability, thus improving the warehousing and transportation efficiency, improving the work efficiency, effectively transporting goods, ensuring the reliability of goods, and meeting the warehousing needs of enterprises:
Increase in handling capacity: the handling capacity of inbound and outbound has been significantly improved. The system can independently dispatch idle shuttle cars for cross operation, reach each cargo location in the warehouse, and achieve efficient warehouse planning and operation.
Small floor area: less tunnels are required under the same processing capacity, reducing the use space and floor area.
Flexible, modular and expandable: more shuttle buses can be flexibly added at any stage according to business needs to improve the system processing capacity.
There are many warehouse layout options: the fast shuttle system can be arranged anywhere in the upper and lower floors of the plant, and the height of the plant floor is not required.
Adhering to the one-stop intelligent logistics solution, the four-way shuttle has the original intention and purpose of making customers more worry free. In design, it is adjusted according to customer needs to solve the problem of low efficiency of warehousing. Combining with the industry characteristics, it efficiently completes the relevant requirements of warehousing, saving operating costs to a certain extent, while optimizing the enterprise supply chain. With the reduction of costs, the overall efficiency of warehousing management has risen to a new height. However, in terms of design, production, manufacturing, etc., the four-way shuttle needs to take into account the battery power supply used by the four-way shuttle, the positioning, power supply and communication problems in the roadway, and also needs to solve the roadway replacement, vehicle avoidance, vehicle scheduling, layer change and other problems, especially the scheduling technical problems. It can be seen that the technology of four-way shuttle is more complex than that of multi-layer shuttle. Due to the technical accuracy requirements and scheduling problems of the four-way shuttle, the installation period, technical threshold and cost have been increased; Moreover, in terms of shelves, the four-way shuttle car shelves may be more expensive; The software aspect of the four-way shuttle is more complicated.
Hebei Walker Metal Products Co., Ltd., since its establishment, has always been committed to following customer needs and tailoring automated production solutions for customers. Similarly, with the increasing market demand for intelligent logistics warehousing systems and the above problems encountered by four-way shuttle cars, our company has further developed, processed and assembled the HEGERLS four-way shuttle car from equipment parts production to WMS system integration, which has obtained national patents and passed the certification of SGS, BV and TUV international product quality inspection agencies “Quality, environment and health” ISO certification. Not only that, Hebei Walker Metal Products Co., Ltd.’s main brand is HEGERLS, and its products also have two-way straight, four-way track change intelligent multi-layer shuttle car system, intelligent self navigation AGV system, stacker system, and WMS (warehouse management system) system, WCS (warehouse control system) system supporting the above equipment, which can provide customers with integrated storage solutions in a variety of demand environments. Now let’s take a look at the HEGERLS four-way shuttle.
Characteristics of HEGERLS four-way shuttle
1) Mechanical structure of the whole machine;
2) Mechanical jacking design: no aging risk of hydraulic structure seal ring; The jacking speed is as fast as 2.5s, and the failure rate of jacking structure is less than 0.01%;
3) Pepperl+Fuchs vision system: automatic dust removal, can adapt to complex environment.
4) It is compatible with two shuttle board shelves: the shuttle board silo can be upgraded to the four-way car automatic silo, and the original shelf and track system can be directly used. Only the main channel needs to be added, which greatly reduces the cost of upgrading the intelligent silo;
5) Energy saving and high efficiency: special design has higher transmission efficiency;
6) Accurate location: accurate location, self repair and calibration without manual intervention;
7) Long life cycle: life cycle>10 years, pure mechanical structure is stable and durable; Environment friendly and pollution-free: the equipment itself has no solid grease;
8) Low maintenance cost: no frequent replacement of hydraulic oil and other maintenance operations;
9) Scope of application: The four-way shuttle can automatically switch 90 degrees in the longitudinal storage roadway and horizontal transfer channel. In addition to the characteristics of the general shuttle bus, it is more suitable for the warehouse storage mode in complex terrain environment. It is generally suitable for food, beverage, dairy, medical, fine chemical and other products, and is suitable for low-temperature cold chain logistics.
Check the six functions of HEGERLS four-way shuttle
1) Load function: The four-way shuttle designed, produced and manufactured by HGRIS can select the dynamic load function according to the higher pallet weight of the enterprise’s cargo, and has the function of emergency starting signal in case of overload.
2) Inventory function: The Higelis four-way shuttle also has the function of automatic inventory.
3) Driving speed: The Hygris four-way shuttle has qualified no-load and full load speeds, and can automatically cut off the power when affected by other resistance during driving.
4) Energy storage: the battery capacity shall not be less than 80AH, and it does not need to be charged after 8 hours of continuous operation, and the total number of charges shall not be less than 1000; At the same time, the Haigris four-way shuttle also has the power display and emergency signal startup function in case of power failure.
