Single-Rail RGV

The Single-Rail RGV Cart is a track-based automatic transfer device for automation lines, warehouses, and CNC cluster lines. It uses a single-rail straight travel structure. It moves back and forth on a fixed track for precise transfer. It is used for station material transfer, CNC cluster loading and unloading, finished and semi-finished part transfer, frame moving, and warehouse entry/exit.

This cart connects to gantry robots, six-joint arms, conveyor lines, and magazines. It achieves unmanned material flow in the workshop. It is widely used in CNC automation, assembly lines, packaging, and warehouse logistics.

Zhejiang Luban has strong experience with RGV carts. We have a 2,450-m² assembly plant. Every RGV cart is assembled and strictly tested at our factory. Our RGV products are used in dozens of automation projects and run stably.

On automated lines, moving material from one machine to another is often the bottleneck. Manual carts are too slow. Forklifts are not flexible enough. Conveyors cannot stop precisely. All these traditional methods have their own limits.

The Single-Rail RGV Cart solves these problems with precise track-based transfer. It runs back and forth on a fixed track. Stop positions are precise and docking accuracy is high. It delivers material to the same position every time, so the robot picks without deviation. It runs 24 hours a day. It does not get tired, take leave, or make mistakes. One CNC cluster customer told us that after using this cart, their material transfer efficiency more than doubled. The work of three people running around with material was replaced by one RGV cart.

The cart travels on a single rail. It uses a servo drive and encoder closed-loop positioning control. It picks up material from the pick position automatically. It travels along the track to the target station and stops precisely. After material handover, it returns automatically or starts the next cycle.

The control uses a dedicated PLC system. It supports automatic station cycling, fixed-point stops, station calling, automatic return, and empty standby. Travel speed and start/stop buffering can be adjusted freely. It can match low-speed precise positioning or high-speed empty return based on line cycle and material weight. The cart body uses thick steel plates. It has high load capacity. It fits frames, fixture plates, metal parts, and whole pallets.

The single-rail structure is simple and compact. Installation is easy and floor modification is minimal. The rail is mounted on the floor surface. No large civil construction is needed. It does not take up effective workshop space. The working temperature range is -10°C to 45°C. The electrical system resists dust, chips, and workshop electromagnetic interference. Long-term running has no parameter drift. Safety features include front and rear collision sensors, infrared obstacle detection, limit stops, emergency stop, sound and light alarms, and overload protection. If it meets an obstacle during travel, it slows down and stops automatically.
