Intralogistics Shuttle Selection
Moving 2-ton panel stacks between sizing saws, edge banders, and buffer storage requires robust internal transport.
Why RGV Shuttles Outperform AGVs in Woodworking
- Dust Immunity: Optical laser/magnetic tape sensors on AGVs frequently fail due to floor sawdust accumulation. Steel rails on RGVs guarantee positive physical guidance.
- Payload Capacity: Standard Shunxin RGV shuttles easily carry 3,000kg loads at 60 m/min speed.
- Cost & Reliability: RGV track systems cost 40% less to install and maintain than complex SLAM navigation fleets.
