ACT industrial’s Precision Drive Solutions for AMR Robots in Intelligent Warehousing Logistics

In the rapidly evolving landscape of intelligent warehousing logistics, ACT industrial emerges as a pioneer in delivering advanced mechanical transmission solutions tailored for AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) systems. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with deep customization capabilities, ACT industrial empowers AMR platforms to achieve unparalleled performance in agility, payload capacity, and operational reliability.

1. Innovative Drive Systems: The KGV Wheel Technology

At the core of ACT industrial’s AMR drive solutions lies the KGV Wheel, a groundbreaking design optimized for space-constrained environments. This compact planetary gear system incorporates a helical gearing and a patented Master Caged Spindle Carrier®, which enhances structural rigidity and torque density by 30% compared to conventional designs. The integrated ring gear further minimizes backlash, ensuring precise motion control even under dynamic loads—a critical requirement for high-speed AMRs navigating narrow warehouse aisles. For heavy-duty applications, ACT industrial offers customized steering solutions such as Walking and Steering Systems and Differential Speed Wheel Systems, enabling seamless adaptation to payloads exceeding 3,000kg while maintaining energy efficiency.

2. Elevation Systems: Multi-Tech Flexibility

ACT industrial’s elevation solutions address the three dominant technical pathways in AMR lifting mechanisms:

Strain wave gear-Based Actuators: Leveraging strain wave gearing, these systems deliver micron-level positioning accuracy, ideal for precision tasks like semiconductor component handling.

Ball Screw-Driven Actuators: Designed for high thrust-to-weight ratios, this configuration supports vertical lifts up to 11m, optimizing vertical storage utilization in multi-level warehouses.

Right-Angle Planetary Gearboxes: Combining compactness (axial length <150mm) with torque outputs up to 500Nm, these units enable rapid lifting cycles (<3s) for time-critical operations.

Each pathway is adaptable to client-specific requirements, such as hybrid hydraulic-electric configurations for ultra-heavy payloads.

3. Rack-Climbing and Shuttle Robot Solutions

For automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS), ACT industrial provides modular drive systems that enable robots to traverse vertical rack structures with sub-millimeter repeatability. By integrating servo-driven traction wheels and fail-safe braking mechanisms, these systems achieve climbing speeds of 1.5m/s while supporting dynamic loads up to 1,200kg. Real-world deployments in 30m-high warehouses have demonstrated 40% improvements in retrieval cycle times compared to traditional stacker cranes.

4. Engineering Philosophy: Customization and Integration

ACT industrial’s solutions prioritize cross-platform compatibility, with CANopen/EtherCAT interfaces ensuring seamless integration with third-party navigation and fleet management systems.

By redefining the boundaries of mechanical transmission design, ACT industrial positions itself as a strategic partner for AMR manufacturers aiming to conquer the challenges of modern smart warehouses—from ultra-dense storage layouts to 24/7 high-throughput operations.
