Bonfiglioli - Drive technology for robotics
With BlueRoll, Bonfiglioli is launching a drive platform for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). This drive platform is based on the new TQW wheel gearbox series; the gearbox is almost completely enclosed by the wheel. Thanks to the mounting flange with threaded and through holes, the gearbox can be integrated into the chassis on the vehicle side. The wheel is supported directly by the reinforced gearbox bearings. The system consists of a gearbox and a drive wheel and is available in three versions: the so-called 'Basic' version (image) and the 'Advanced' and 'Compact' versions with servomotors. Depending on which of the three gearbox sizes is involved, loads of up to 360 kg, 720 kg and 1020 kg can be transported per unit at speeds of up to 2 m/s.
