Chassis Marriage Line with Rail Guided Vehicles (RGVs)
Fori China recently designed, built and integrated a Chassis Marriage system for a customer in Germany.
Fori China was responsible for supplying the Rail Guided Vehicles (RGVs), associated track, overhead loader and PLC control system that controls the loop.
The Chassis Marriage RGVs are based on Fori’s long standing mechanical design and controls architecture. Each RGV includes (2) Fori patented servo controlled chain lifts for the synchronized lift and locate of the front and rear pallet. Each Fori chain lift includes a floating table for alignment to the vehicle chassis that is transferred via overhead rail system.
The RGV is focused on maintainability and simplicity for the end user. The system utilizes a variety of off the shelf components and Fori standard product. The RGVs have been a robust solution for many years, pushing Fori to become a global leader in Chassis Marriage systems.
Fori also offers induction based rail guided vehicles and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for chassis marriage that utilize a combination of induction and battery power.
