Macnum Wheel: An Emerging Trend for Material Handling Equipment in Industries

Abstract: The present automobile industries need execution of industrial robots due to standard in mass and batch size production of the vehicles. Design of omnidirectional vehicles is now a traditional way in automobiles sectors. The operating advantage of this kind of vehicle is on any kind of surface such as a rough, smooth, flat, and curved surface. A vehicle has the potential to get omnidirectional, if it operated on mecum wheel. By providing the omnidirectional ability vehicle has moving flexibility that such type of vehicle can work in any internal and external application. In present paper design and different applications of mecnum wheel for omnidirectional vehicle has been presented. Different design and fabrication and manufacturing steps are discussed.
