    The document discusses a rail guided vehicle (RGV) transportation system. The RGV system uses self-driven wheeled trolleys that are guided along a slotted track and can be independently controlled. Each trolley has its own battery-powered motor and controller. The RGV system offers flexible transportation of parts between stations with easy configuration and maintenance of the modular design. Safety features ensure obstacle detection and emergency stopping.

    Rail guided Vehicle

    Modular and reconfigurable, FlexTrolley ARGV System(TM)


    combines precision of chain conveyor with independent
    control of AGV. Each part is fixtured and mounted on self-
    driven wheeled trolley, guided along slotted track on floor,
    which runs between stations on line. Full 360° access along
    horizontal plane allows operators to move freely around
    trolleys. Each trolley is driven by high-speed electric motor,
    powered by onboard battery. Speeds up to 24 m/min can be
    attained.
    Specifications
    • Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV) is a flexible transportation vehicle
    developed by SMC's own technology. It can link multiple
    destinations, and be a good and 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.
    Characteristics of RGV
    • Independent operation of vehicle by individual
    controller on each vehicle
    • Low noise and vibration
    • Modular design of drive unit to enable less
    parts and easy maintenance
    • Relatively accurate positioning by encoder
    • Distribution control system
    Safety Features of RGV
    • In case an obstacle is detected at the front, the vehicle reduces
    its speed and if the distance is less than 60 mm, it stops.
    • Soft bumper is installed at the front end. The vehicle stops at
    touch of this bumper and it can be used as an emergency
    switch.
    • If the load is not at its correct position, the vehicle does not
    move and generates abnormal sign.
    • If the stop position is not correct, the vehicle re-tries the
    positioning.
    • In case of motor overload, thermal relay is actuated and the
    vehicle does not move and produce abnormal sign.
    Features of RGV Controller
    • Communication with upper level controller: receiving commands and
    sending reports
    • Operation management
    • Real-time check of the vehicles status
    • Error report on the controller display; error position, cause
    • Data storage for the maintenance
    • RGV work scheduling
    • Emergency stop
    • Operator interface using touch screen and GUI (Graphic User Interface)
    • Independent operation control in case of upper controller failure
    • Teaching operation
    • Easy extension
    RGV Control System
    • Trolleymation is the route for communication between
    stationary controller and on-vehicle controller of RGV. It uses
    trolley duct.
    The characteristics of Trolleymation are as follows:
    • One trolley line used as power and information transmission
    simultaneously
    • Fast and long distance transmission
    • Reliable data transmission using high noise margin
    • RS-232C interface with system device
    • Up to 16 terminal units linked to one line
    • Used as derailment detector
