A well-known AI intelligent device research and manufacturing company has designed an intelligent cleaning robot for some large office spaces, large shopping malls, large warehousing parks and other places. Although this robot is very popular among customers, the tires used by the robot also pose several challenges:

challenges faced

1. Some cleaning sites are quite slippery, causing robots to be unable to move smoothly and even deviate from the originally set route and track.

2. Due to the frequent passing of robots on wet and slippery roads, some wheels experience hydrolysis, greatly shortening the lifespan of the wheels.

3. Walking on partially blocked roads is likely to leave marks on the ground.

Solution:

The company engineer recommended our TRACTOTHAN to the customer in response to this situation ® Polyurethane wheels made of material. It is based on VULKOLLAN ® The patented composite material developed through material research and development integrates a special TPU particle production process into its adhesive layer, which can improve grip and reduce sliding risks. This material has the advantages of high braking performance, low sliding risk, high load capacity, and high speed, making it particularly suitable for transportation in factories and use in wet and polluted ground scenarios.

After upgrading our tires made of this material, all issues were resolved. But the customer is not satisfied with this tire, and we have developed a low hardness material based on the customer’s situation, so I won’t say much about it.

Summary:

Many equipment tires are made of polyurethane material, but there are also many types of polyurethane. Different types of polyurethane materials are used in different application scenarios. There is no one polyurethane material that is necessarily good, and the polyurethane wheels you are currently using are not very good. This is all determined by her usage scenario.
