Please mold RGV/AGV track aluminum profiles

RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) are the core handling equipment for intelligent warehousing and automated logistics systems. RGV trolleys run around three-dimensional warehouses, docking with conveyor lines and stackers to transport goods; AGVs use magnetic strips, two-dimensional codes or laser navigation to achieve flexible paths. The track is the "road" of these equipment - the accuracy of the track directly determines that the trolley runs unstably, the positioning is not accurate, and the equipment life is not long.

Aluminum alloy rails have obvious advantages over traditional steel rails: they are 40% -60% lighter in weight, save more than 30% in energy consumption, shorten the installation cycle by 30% -50%, and do not require rust removal and maintenance. In intelligent warehousing projects such as Jingdong Asia No. 1, SF Smart Warehouse, and Jitu Transfer Center, aluminum profile rails have become the standard for RGV shuttles and EMS suspension conveyor lines.

For intelligent warehousing, automated logistics, intelligent handling and other fields, Shanghai Luce Aluminum provides a one-stop service for the entire process from sectional structure design, mold development, profile extrusion (cooperative production line) to CNC finishing and hard oxidation.

01 Quality starts with raw materials

Produced with A00 native aluminum ingot, it does not contain scrap aluminum, the material is uniform, and the mechanical properties are stable. 6063-T5 (light ≤ 300kg), 6061-T6 (medium 500kg class), 6005A-T6 (heavy load 1000kg class), 7075-T6 (over-heavy load) and other materials can be selected according to the rail loading working conditions.

02 Large tonnage extrusion with exclusive die design

For the wide, thick-walled and complex internal reinforcing rib sections required for RGV rails, a large-tonnage extruder is used to extrude them once to ensure the lattice compactness and overall structural stability of the profiles. Each track section is independently designed with a dedicated mold, which can integrate functional structures such as guide grooves, mounting and fixing positions, and inductive clamp grooves. Extra-large profiles up to 600-700mm in diameter can be produced.

03 High-precision CNC machining

Equipped with precision equipment such as a five-axis CNC machining center, the track is CNC-integrated to ensure uniform overall accuracy, and the splicing gap of a single profile is small. The machining accuracy is ± 0.01-0.005mm, and the dimensional tolerance is stable from ± 0.02 mm to ± 0.04 mm. Light rail straightness ≤ 1.0mm/10m, medium ≤ 1.2mm/10m, heavy ≤ 1.5mm/10m. Ring orbit radian accuracy ≤ 0.5°. Repeat positioning accuracy up to ± 3mm.

04 Rigid oxidation and wear resistant treatment

The rail face can be hard oxidized, with a surface hardness of HV ≥ 90 and a friction coefficient as low as 0.12, effectively reducing operating noise and energy consumption. Suitable for high-speed operation and high-frequency reciprocating transportation of 2.5m/s, low long-term operation loss and low maintenance cost.

05 One-stop delivery for the whole process

From die opening and extrusion to CNC finishing and hard oxidation in one place, customers only need to connect with one supplier. Support to customize the cross-sectional dimensions, track length, and bending rail radians to reduce the on-site machining process. Provide a dimensional inspection report and a material inspection report for each batch.
