Description
VAHLE CPS 20kHz Contactless Power Systems
Contactless Inductive Power Transmission System — many industrial plants working to raise productivity are shortening production cycles and increasing process speeds. Achieving this requires production technology and handling systems that never stand still, and the power transmission system plays a key role. Contactless power transfer is used more and more in mobile applications. Inductive systems such as the VAHLE CPS 20kHz stand out with their wear-free, low-maintenance design — advantages that significantly reduce plant downtime and operating costs. With the CPS 20kHz, proven in the field for many years, VAHLE offers an established solution for inductive power transfer. The system supplies reliable power to high-power applications such as electrified monorail lines, crane systems and heavy-duty automated guided vehicles (AGV), covering a wider power range than the CPS 140 kHz technology. The voltage-limited CPS system is commissioned easily with minimal installation work, and the primary unit combines flexibly with different pickups and control units, making the system modular and scalable. Especially in plants running many mobile applications, the CPS system offers significant cost advantages.
