Mobile Robot Rack: Fits Your AGV Perfectly

Automated KLT Box Rack for Line-side Supply

In the high-stakes environment of automotive assembly, the “Tugger Train” era is fading. You are transitioning to flexible, decentralized logistics using Underride AGVs for SPS (Set Parts Supply). But here is the bottleneck: your legacy static racks aren’t designed for dynamic motion. They rattle, they loosen, and they threaten to decouple when lifted. We engineer Mobile Robot Racks that withstand the G-forces of modern automation, ensuring your powertrain components arrive at the line-side safely, every single cycle.

The Engineering Flaw in Traditional Racking

Most Logistics Managers discover the problem too late: standard warehouse racking is designed for static vertical gravity loads, not dynamic inertia. When you deploy a Underride AGV to lift a rack loaded with 1,500 lbs of stamped chassis parts, the lifting mechanism exerts a sudden upward force.

In traditional “hook-and-slot” systems, this upward force can pop the beam out of the upright column. The result? A catastrophic structural failure in the middle of a busy aisle, potentially halting your Von der stretchstraße. output.

Fully Bolted Structure Heavy Duty Mobile Dolly

At Spacedas, we reject the hook design for mobile applications. Our Mobile Flow Rack for SPS utilizes a Fully Bolted Structure with Grade 8.8 fasteners and serrated lock nuts. This creates a rigid frame (Q355 High-tensile Steel) that treats the AGV, the rack, and the load as a single cohesive unit. Whether your AGV accelerates at 0.5g or performs an emergency E-Stop, the energy is distributed through the frame, not concentrated on a fragile connector.

Gravity Flow: The Heart of Line-side Efficiency

Delivering parts to the General Assembly (GA) line is only half the battle. Presenting them to the operator is the other. Your assemblers shouldn’t be fighting with bins or reaching into deep shelves.

We integrate Gravity Flow roller tracks directly into the AGV chassis structure. This guarantees FIFO (First-In, First-Out)—a critical requirement for components with batch-tracking needs, such as airbag modules or ECU chips.

Gravity Flow Line-side Supply Racking

As the operator removes an empty KLT box from the front, the next full box of fasteners or clips gently slides into the ergonomic “strike zone.” This decouple’s the picking process from the replenishment process. The AGV can dock at the rear to swap full racks for empty ones without ever crossing the operator’s safety zone.

The “Shooter” Mechanism: Powerless Automation

For high-speed automotive lines, stopping the AGV for manual unloading kills your Takt time. The solution is the “Karakuri” or Shooter system.

We design racks with a mechanical interlock. When the Mobile Robot Rack docks precisely at the workstation, a side lever engages with the stationary dock. This physical contact releases the locking pin, and gravity instantly transfers the KLT boxes from the mobile rack to the assembly line conveyor.

Karakuri Shooter Rack with Transparent AGV

This is pure mechanical logic—no motors, no sensors, no batteries on the rack itself. It drastically reduces maintenance (MTBF) compared to motorized conveyors and ensures that your Hier ist das kl-t-gerüst transfer is completed in seconds, keeping pace with the most aggressive production schedules.

Heavy Loads & Stability Analysis

When transporting EV Battery Modules or heavy casting dies, center of gravity (CoG) becomes a safety obsession. A top-heavy rack on a moving AGV is a tipping hazard, especially when cornering.

We perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on every custom design. For heavy loads, we utilize Q355 High-tensile Steel to lower the rack’s center of mass while maintaining load capacity. Our designs comply with ISO 3691-4 safety standards for industrial driverless trucks, ensuring that even during an emergency stop, the Heavy Duty Mobile Dolly remains planted.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can your Mobile Robot Rack handle the weight of EV Battery Packs?

Yes. For EV applications, we use reinforced Q355 steel bases. Our heavy-duty models are rated for dynamic loads exceeding 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg), specifically designed to withstand the point-loading from the AGV’s lifting plate.

2. How does the rack prevent parts from falling during AGV cornering?

We integrate active locking bars or passive tilt angles into the design. For Line-side Supply Racking, we often use a “Shooter” mechanism that keeps boxes mechanically locked until the AGV physically docks at the station.

3. Is your rack compatible with our existing Hikrobot / Geek+ AGVs?

Absolutely. We are AGV-agnostic. During the design phase, we request the dimensional drawings of your specific Underride AGV model to ensure the clearance height, lifting stroke, and QR code placement are perfectly calibrated.

4. What is the difference between welded and your bolted structure for AGVs?

Welds are rigid but brittle; they can develop micro-cracks under the constant vibration of solid-tire AGVs running on concrete. Our Fully Bolted Structure allows for slight micro-flexibility without failure and makes repairing damaged uprights possible without scrapping the whole rack.

5. Can you integrate this into a clean assembly area (e.g., Electronics/Sensors)?

Yes. While our steel racks are for heavy auto parts, we can manufacture the exact same Mobile Flow Rack designs using industrial aluminum profiles with ESD capabilities for sensitive electronic component areas within your plant.
