Your Guide to Casters and Wheels for Automated Guided Vehicles.
Power Savings, Precise Movements, and Proven Performance for Your Automated Guided Vehicle.
As the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) movement experts, Conceptual Innovations makes casters and caster wheels that help AGVs maneuver and move more efficiently. And more effortless movement means less friction and increased battery life. Another benefit is that your AGVs will experience limited vehicle sway, enabling them to move heavier loads without the added expense of adding a more extensive drive system.
Experience Better Maneuverability with TWERGO® Twin- and Triple-Wheel Designs.
Our TWERGO® Twin—and Triple-wheel designs have independently spinning wheels that rotate in either direction. This helps minimize friction and reduce the effort of turning and maneuvering. It also makes them ideal for AGVs and long Tugger trains. Their superior maneuverability also means shorter paths and less installation work.
Minimize the Effects of Poor Flooring/Uneven Loading with our CasterShox® Shock Absorbing Caster
CasterShoX®‘s patented technology combines the best attributes of spring and polymer dampening technology. This technology duo dampens noise on busy plant floors and absorbs shock at the axle level. These benefits significantly reduce the impact on the cart and its contents.
Case Study: AGV Cart with High Maneuverability and Payload.
Case Study: AGV Cart with High Maneuverability and Payload.
The Situation: BAE approached Conceptual Innovations to develop an Omni Directional Cart. The cart needed 40K lbs. of payload in and out of weld cells.
The Solution: A complete turnkey cart (100″ wide by 250″ long) that consisted of 4 Omni Directional drive pods and 4 load-bearing swivel-on-swivel 97 Series casters from Caster Concepts. LEARN MORE.
Our heavy-duty casters are featured on Conceptual Innovation’s multi-pod Omni Direction Drive Systems (see case study). They are available in many configurations to solve a variety of challenging applications.
In-house polyurethane Manufacturing for any Situation.
Polyurethane Wheels are often used on automated guided vehicles due to the various hardness (durometer) available to achieve specific benefits. Our Urethanes range from high performance for drive wheels to non-marking, debris-rejecting, and energy-efficient for improved power usage. We manufacture all our wheels in-house, enabling us to customize and engineer polyurethane solutions for any application.
Caster Concepts has a full line of AGV cart casters and wheels designed for use with AGVs and tuggers, offering an efficient and economical choice for many continuous-duty applications.
