AGV Wheels for Coil Transport

Heavy-duty wheels for steel coil transport AGVs are used in automotive manufacturing. Featuring a cast iron core and highly wear-resistant PU coating. They are suitable for intelligent logistics systems such as stamping shops and uncoiling lines.

The ultimate challenge of coil transport: Why dedicated AGV wheels?

Ultra-high load capacity: Single coils often weigh 5 to 30 tons, requiring wheels to withstand loads exceeding traditional limits.

Zero surface damage: The surface finish of steel coils directly impacts the quality of stamped parts, necessitating wheels that eliminate scratches and reduce vibration transmission.

High-frequency operation: AGVs travel over 50 kilometers daily, and wear and fatigue resistance determine their overall performance.

Traditional pain points: Ordinary rubber wheels are prone to crushing and deformation. In contrast, metal wheels are noisy and prone to slipping, neither of which meets the continuous operation requirements of automotive production lines.

Product core advantages

• Ultra-high load capacity, stable, and reliable

The cast iron wheel core is reinforced through a heat treatment process, resulting in strong structural rigidity and excellent deformation resistance. A single wheel can carry over 5 tons, ensuring long-term, stable operation of the AGV under fully loaded steel coil conditions without the risk of breakage or plastic deformation. 

• Polyurethane overmolding for floor protection and silent operation

Using high-hardness (90A-95A) and highly wear-resistant polyurethane material, it effectively distributes pressure, preventing indentations and scratches on epoxy or PVC floors. Operating noise is below 70db(A), significantly improving the workshop acoustic environment and meeting automotive factory EHS standards.

• Oil and chemical resistance, suitable for stamping workshop environments

The outer polyurethane layer offers excellent resistance to lubricants, rust inhibitors, cleaning fluids, and other chemical media. It is suitable for the complex working conditions common in automotive factories, such as oil contamination, dust, and temperature fluctuations, and is resistant to aging and peeling.

• Precision manufacturing for smooth operation

The entire wheel is CNC-machined and dynamically balanced to G6.3. This ensures smooth AGV operation, including high-speed travel (≤60m/min) and frequent starts and stops, without vibration or uneven wear, thereby improving positioning accuracy and system life.

• Modular design, compatible with mainstream AGV platforms

Supports various connection methods, including keyway shafts, spline shafts, and flange mounting. Wheel diameters (ø180mm-ø300mm), wheel widths (80mm-150mm), and mounting dimensions can be customized to suit the customer's AGV structure.

Typical application scenarios

Automotive stamping workshops: Automated delivery of steel coils from the high-bay warehouse to the unwinding line

• Unwinding and blanking lines: AGV transfer of coils

• Automotive body panel intelligent storage system: Unmanned loading and unloading handling

• Final assembly pre-feeding area: AGV for sheet material buffering and delivery

• New energy vehicle battery tray production: Automated feeding of high-strength steel coils
