Description
VAHLE Compact Conductor Systems VCL
High Speed, Flexibility and Reliable Power Transfer — demands in intralogistics keep rising. E-commerce in particular, with small order quantities and huge product variety, challenges automated storage systems. Manufacturers aiming to raise warehouse efficiency and speed up product flow are turning to scalable systems and dynamic high-speed applications. The VAHLE Compact Line (VCL) is a versatile power transmission solution for this field: thanks to its modular structure it works with all rail-guided vehicle types used in storage systems, and its high insulation and creepage distances keep power and signal transmission reliable even in dirty or harsh industrial environments.
Compact Design — Maximum Efficiency: in every type of shuttle application, the VCL system can be used in two- or three-pole versions. Its ultra-compact design lets the system hide inside the travel profile; long-life current collectors and brushes reduce maintenance frequency and minimize operating costs.
Optimized for High-Capacity Automation — in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) for mini-load warehouses or stacker crane applications in pallet warehouses, VCL offers four- to six-pole solutions. Combined with the VAHLE Multi Carrier (VMT), it provides wide suspension spacing and mechanical protection, and optical positioning systems integrate easily.
Certified Safety and Quality — this product group carries the UL certificate meeting the highest safety and quality standards, making it an ideal solution for intralogistics and automation applications requiring high performance and reliability. Technical details of UL-certified components are available in the Product Documents section.
Compact Conductor Systems VCL — VMT, the carrier optimized for VCL. The VAHLE Multi Carrier (VMT) is an optimized carrier system for fast, economical, modular installation of conductor systems. It adapts to different conductor systems and allows the integration of positioning systems. Suspension spacing up to 3.5 metres; fast installation with plug-in and clamping technology; a universal suspension compatible with all standard vertical profiles; a robust structure protecting the conductor system from mechanical impact; full integration with optical positioning systems.
