Customizing AGV hardware is a critical phase in ensuring successful project implementation. Leveraging China's robust supply chain, manufacturers typically offer a high degree of non-standard customization.
Here are the detailed answers to your hardware customization requirements:
Yes.
Brand Consistency: Most leading Chinese brands (such as Heli, Hangcha, and emerging robotics firms) support painting according to a customer-specified RAL color code to align with your corporate identity (VI).
Safety Requirements: If your environment has specific safety standards, you can request high-visibility "Fluorescent Yellow" or "Warning Orange."
Note: Custom painting for a single unit may incur an extra fee, but it is often provided free of charge for bulk orders (typically 5–10 units or more).
Yes, this is a core advantage of AGV flexibility.
Beyond standard forks, common custom attachments include:
Multi-pallet Handling: Double or triple fork designs to double or triple throughput per trip.
Cylindrical Goods: Clamps (paper roll clamps) or rams (carpet poles) for the paper and cable industries.
Size Adjustment: Positioners that automatically adjust fork spacing via software to accommodate various pallet sizes.
Specialized Loads: Rotators, side-shifters, or integrated turntables for precise production line interfacing.
Yes, this is handled through "Physical Customization" or "Automated Adjustment":
Physical Customization (Fixed Length): During the ordering stage, you can specify fork lengths such as $1070\text{mm}$, $1220\text{mm}$, or even extra-long forks exceeding $2000\text{mm}$ based on your pallet depth.
Automated Adjustment: * Hydraulic/Electric Positioners: Forks move left and right to fit different pallet widths.
Telescopic Forks: Forks extend horizontally forward, ideal for Double-deep Racking operations, which significantly increases warehouse storage capacity.
Yes, though it depends on the specific operating environment.
Standard AGVs are usually IP20 (indoor only). For specialized conditions, you can request:
IP54/IP55 (Dust & Water Resistant): Suitable for food processing or chemical environments that require light washdowns or have high dust levels.
Cold Storage Customization (-25°C): This involves more than just an IP rating; it requires specialized anti-freeze, heating systems for sensors (to prevent frosting), and low-temperature lubricants.
Explosion-proof (Ex): For pharmaceutical or chemical warehouses, manufacturers can provide full-vehicle explosion-proof treatment compliant with Ex Certification standards.
While hardware customization is powerful, it usually affects lead times.
Standardize Components: Whenever possible, choose existing attachment solutions from major brands (like Cascade). This ensures easier access to spare parts in the future.
Software Calibration: Any hardware change (like extending fork length) alters the vehicle's turning radius and load center. Ensure the supplier's scheduling software is updated to reflect these new physical parameters.
