ELECTRIFIED MONORAIL SYSTEM (EMS)

Assembly lines and guided rail applications require more power and intelligent automation than ever before. The DDC’s in-house demo is a fully functional scale mock-up of a standard EMS line, complete with an EMS isolation section and showcasing VAHLE’s vDrive controls, vPOS positioning systems, vCOM communication systems and U10 conductor bar. Trusted manufacturers rely on VAHLE solutions to provide electrified monorail systems capable of navigating complex layouts, track switches and curves with ease.

This demo consists of:

• vDRIVE controls including a Siemens PLC with changeable function blocks
• 180mm Aluminum EMS Profile
• 4 poles for U10 conductor bar
• 2 poles used for vCOM communications systems
• 2 Poles used for vPOS positioning systems

vPower 140kHz & 20Khz Contactless Power Supply System and Test Tracks

vPOWER is the next generation of contactless power supply developed by VAHLE. With frequency transmission capabilities ranging from 20 kHz to 140kHz and silicon carbide semiconductors - vPOWER offers a smaller size, lower cost and increased power density compared to standard contactless power solutions. With no limit to travel speed or acceleration, no maintenance from wear components and unaffected by environmental conditions, VAHLE's vPOWER is an innovative solution to demanding applications.

This demo consists of:
