Rail-Guided Vehicles with Flexible Power Supply Options


Power supply selection plays a critical role in the performance, maintenance, and lifecycle cost of Rail-Guided Vehicles (RGVs). To accommodate different factory layouts and operational requirements, RGV systems are available with busbar power, trailing cable power, or battery power, each offering distinct advantages.
By selecting the appropriate power solution, manufacturers can optimize system reliability, reduce downtime, and achieve the best balance between automation level and operating cost.
Different power options are suited for different industrial environments:
Busbar Powered RGVs – Ideal for long-distance, high-frequency, 24/7 operation
Cable Powered RGVs – Suitable for heavy loads with limited travel range
Battery Powered RGVs – Best for clean layouts, complex tracks, or intermittent operation
Flexible power configurations allow RGVs to adapt to both new and existing factory infrastructures.
