Gradin Heavy Coil AGV Application Solutions

Steel and Aluminum Mill Cold/Hot Rolling Lines
The Gradin Heavy Coil AGV is the premier choice for transporting massive steel coils between the rolling mill and the storage warehouse. By automating this transit, mills eliminate the safety risks associated with traditional overhead cranes and heavy forklifts. Our AGVs are engineered with heat-resistant components and specialized shielding, allowing them to operate in environments where ambient temperatures are high. The bespoke steering logic allows the AGV to maneuver through tight corridors that would be impossible for conventional material handling equipment to navigate.

Automotive Stamping and Press Shop Logistics
In automotive press shops, maintaining a constant supply of steel coils is essential for production uptime. The Gradin Heavy Coil AGV streamlines the Quick Die and Coil Change process by delivering coils directly to the uncoiler station. By utilizing synchronized docking sensors, the AGV aligns the coil perfectly with the mandrel, allowing for a seamless transfer. This level of automated precision reduces manual intervention, minimizes the risk of damage to expensive automotive-grade steel, and significantly improves the overall ergonomics of the press line environment.

Heavy-Duty Paper and Foil Processing Facilities
For the paper and packaging industry, handling massive paper rolls requires a delicate touch despite the high tonnage. We engineer the Gradin Heavy Coil AGV with soft-start/stop drive logic to ensure that sensitive paper or foil layers are not damaged by sudden inertia. The bespoke clamping and cradling systems are designed to maintain a consistent pressure that secures the roll without crushing the core. This specialized engineering makes the Gradin AGV an essential asset for facilities looking to automate their roll-handling logistics while maintaining the highest product quality standards.

Safety Standards of the Gradin Heavy Coil AGV

Redundant Safety Architecture and Dynamic Obstacle Detection
When moving loads up to 60 tons autonomously, safety redundancy is non-negotiable. The Gradin Heavy Coil AGV is equipped with a multi-layered safety perimeter that includes dual-laser scanners providing 360-degree field-of-view protection. The system features intelligent field switching, which automatically adjusts the warning and stop zones based on the vehicle’s current speed and load status. Furthermore, we integrate on-board load cells that monitor the weight and stability of the coil in real-time. If the system detects any load shift or unexpected obstruction, it executes a controlled emergency halt, ensuring the safety of personnel, infrastructure, and the high-value cargo.
