Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV)

Description

This rail guided vehicle system MONOFLEX is powered by inductive energy. The smart track guided vehicles run on floor mounted twin rails. The MONOFLEX system sets new standards in terms of throughput, flexibility, and scalability. True to the motto “dynamic warehousing”, this rail guided vehicle system from DAMBACH Lagersysteme provides a high-performance conveying system for the apron in warehouse systems, or functions as an alternative to conveyor systems with continuous conveyors. For example, the MONOFLEX can form the ideal complement to the MULTIFLEX pallet shuttle system.

This rail guided vehicle system from DAMBACH consists of high-performance transport carts and a twin rail track. The track is made from anodized aluminum, which is not only robust, but easy to install. Simple switches ensure good availability, even in the case of complex plant layouts. With a 1:1 distribution of the material flow, the fast switching times of the switches enable throughput rates of up to 450 carts per hour. Fast cart changeovers and the inclusion of additional carts are therefore no problem, e.g. to reach peak performance in material flows.

Rail Guided Vehicle: High Throughput Rates and Maximum Scalability!

The PU-coated running wheels guided inside the rail profile mean that not only are the transport carts quiet, but also that each bogie is ideally protected against dust and dirt. All transport carts are designed for a rated load of max. 1500 kg. The two driven wheels achieve fast acceleration and a fast travelling speed, but at the same time, the separate drivetrains constitute a redundant system that ensures that your warehouse keeps working. The compact design of the carts results in space saving layouts, which is particularly important at transfer stations, where several carts can operate side by side. The low rail profiles and the compact dimensions of the rail guided vehicle system result in a transfer height of just 700 mm. The MONOFLEX from DAMBACH Lagersysteme has a low weight per unit area and therefore can be installed in existing warehouses to achieve high throughput rates in those situations as well.

Features

• High throughput rates of up to 450 carts per hour.
• Scalability: later upgrades to increase productivity and flexibility.
• High availability.
• Compact design to ensure optimum use of space.
• Less installation work.

Application

• Beverage industry
• Food industry

Optimized interfaces for Good Availability

This RGV system from DAMBACH Lagersysteme is a highly dynamic system for transporting a huge range of different unit loads while achieving excellent throughput rates. It is here in particular that the interfaces to the adjoining warehouse and materials handling installations play a crucial role.

DAMBACH warehousing technology and materials handling systems are designed for good efficiency and the safe transport of goods. The MONOFLEX rail guided vehicle system has already proved its worth in conjunction with DAMBACH storage and retrieval machines and the DAMBACH pallet shuttle system. This is the way to achieve a hitherto unknown synergy between optimum space utilization, throughput rates, and productivity.
