What Are The Drive Types of IGV Cars?

The IGV car has safety protection and various transfer functions. It can travel according to preset guidance routes, so it is the most widely used in industrial applications without a driver.Generally, it controls its travel route through a computer, and also uses electromagnetic rails to travel. There are four types of IGV trolleys that run stably: traction type, dump type, latent type, and lift type. There are also multiple drive types, each with its own drive type. Each has its own characteristics, so you can choose the appropriate driver type after careful consideration.

1. Single driver (the most widely used driver)
This type of drive is used for three-wheel vehicles, with one driving and steering wheel and two fixed driven wheels, distributed on both sides of the vehicle body axis.This type of vehicle can move forward, backward, and turn left and right, with a turning angle of less than 90 degrees. Because the three-wheel structure has good grip and has average ground surface requirements, this type of IGV car is suitable for a wide range of environments and occasions.
2. Differential drive (required conditions are very harsh)
There are two common types of vehicles: three-wheeled and four-wheeled. Two fixed driving wheels are distributed on both sides of the vehicle body axis. One three-wheeled vehicle or two four-wheeled vehicles are driven free wheels. Turning is achieved by the speed difference between the two driving wheels. .This IGV car model can move forward, backward, turn left and right, and spin on the spot. Its turning adaptability is stronger than that of a single drive.If it is a three-wheeled IGV car model, its applicability to the ground surface is similar to that of a single drive.If it is a four-wheeled vehicle, it is easy to cause one of the wheels to hang in the air and affect navigation. Therefore, the ground surface flatness is strictly required and the scope of application is limited.

3. Dual drive (cost issue is prominent)
It is used for four-wheel IGV car models, with two driving and steering wheels and two driven free wheels.This type of vehicle can travel forward, backward, and in all directions.The outstanding feature is that it can control any changes in the body posture during driving, and is suitable for narrow passages or environments and occasions that have special requirements for the working direction.The disadvantages are similar to those of differential-drive four-wheel models. They have strict requirements for ground surface flatness and are subject to certain limitations. In addition, this type of IGV car has a complex structure and high cost, but it still cannot prevent market acceptance.
4. Multi-wheel drive (rich in functions but the highest cost)
For eight-wheel vehicles, four driving and steering wheels and four driven free wheels.This kind of IGV car with good brand and good reputation can travel forward, backward and in all directions.It is used for transportation in heavy-duty industries, with complex structure and high cost.
IGV cars have many advantages. For example, this type of product has a very high degree of automation and is controlled by electronic control equipment. It only needs to issue instructions to achieve the preset effect, and its appearance is more beautiful, which can also indirectly improve the corporate image. At the same time, It is more convenient to use, can reduce the area occupied, and its charging is also simpler. When the battery is exhausted, it will send a request command to the system to charge, so it is very cost-effective.
