Rail transfer trolley as a popular product in the field of material transportation, and the choice of power supply method is crucial. Different power supply methods are suitable for different scenarios and needs. The following is a detailed analysis of several commonly used power supply methods:
Rail transfer carts have many features, including unlimited running time, suitability for long-distance transportation, safety, flexibility, and high use frequency.
This type of transporter trolley obtains power from an external power source through a towing cable to ensure continuous and stable operation. Cable drum powered transfer cart is suitable for fixed-route, and long-distance transportation scenarios, and can provide greater power and carry heavier cargo. However, the towing cable may rub against the ground or be caught by obstacles during operation, which can easily cause damage and affect the normal operation of self propelled trolley. In addition, the length of the towing cable will limit the driving range of rail transfer trolley, and the cable line may need to be rearranged when the site layout is adjusted.
Battery powered transfer trolleys are highly flexible and do not require fixed power supply rails or cables. They can travel freely in complex site environments. Battery operated transfer trolleys are suitable for places where the site layout changes frequently or there are many obstacles. They can be operated wirelessly and are convenient for multi-angle control. Battery driven transfer carts are easy to charge and do not affect normal production operations. However, the battery capacity is limited and the cruising range is limited. Regular charging is required to ensure normal operation. At the same time, the battery life is limited and needs to be replaced regularly, which increases the cost of use.
Busbar powered rail transporters obtain power by contacting the busbar, avoiding the problem of cables dragging on the ground and reducing the risk of cable damage. The busbar can be flexibly arranged according to the site layout to meet different production needs. At the same time, the busbar provides a stable power supply to ensure the normal operation of rail transfer cart. However, the busbar needs to be maintained and inspected regularly to ensure good contact. In special environments such as high temperature and high humidity, the reliability of the busbar may be reduced.
Low voltage rail transfer trolley use rails as conductors to provide power to industrial carts. They operate stably without problems such as insufficient battery power or damaged tow cables. Rail powered materials carts are suitable for frequent use and high-load transportation scenarios. They can achieve continuous operation and improve transportation efficiency. Due to rail power supply, custom industrial carts can travel at a relatively fast speed. However, the installation of low voltage rails requires a certain amount of cost and space and requires high rail installation accuracy. If the rail fails, maintenance is complicated and may affect the operation of the entire production line.
