As the core logistics equipment in the production process of new energy, mobile robots are widely used in the new energy industry due to their advantages such as small space occupation, flexibility, high fault tolerance, and high efficiency intelligence.
AGV mobile robots with fork-lift capabilities can directly pick up and transport materials (pallets), automatically reduce speed when turning, and have functions such as automatic obstacle recognition and timely obstacle avoidance, making them safe and reliable when moving. They are mainly used for raw material distribution on production lines, transportation of semi-finished and finished products, and material stacking in factory warehouses. They can replace humans to complete some monotonous, frequent, high-intensity, and long-term repetitive operations, or operations under dangerous and harsh environments.
CASUN's representative products: C5-B1, C5-B2, C5-B3, C5-D1, C5-D3, C5-D5, C5-D6.
