Description

VAHLE Charging Contacts

Reliable Charging Solutions for the Age of Automation — digitalization is transforming industry beyond question. In many fields — above all intralogistics and material handling — systems have shifted to automated guided vehicles (AGV); there is hardly a sector left that does not use them, and they even serve as mobile vehicles in amusement parks and onboard transport systems. To sustain this high productivity, battery-powered vehicles must be recharged as quickly as possible. As a pioneer in this field, VAHLE offers a broad portfolio of charging contact systems for different power requirements. Backed by the world’s most comprehensive standard product range, VAHLE solutions are extremely durable and wear-resistant thanks to current collectors with long-life pressure contacts and high-quality sliding plastics. With more than 30 years of market experience and in-house production technology, VAHLE also delivers application-specific solutions: design, dimensions and performance can be tailored to the customer, and on request products can even be branded in the customer’s corporate identity. BM Makina’s service and engineering team manages every project professionally, from first contact through prototyping to series production. This product group is UL certified and meets the highest safety and quality standards — an ideal solution for demanding, sensitive industrial applications. Details of the UL-certified components are available in the Product Documents section.
