VAHLE Compact Conductor Systems VKS

Reliable Power and Signal Transfer for Industrial Automation — industrial automation keeps accelerating. In nearly every industry, storage and handling systems now rely on fully automatic or robot-assisted technology, achieving higher productivity in smaller footprints. In intralogistics, shuttle systems and stacker cranes store and move goods rapidly; in production — especially automotive — automated skillet lines carry heavy vehicle bodies along the production line.

Uninterrupted Power and Data in a Compact Design — reliable control of these mobile, automated systems depends on uninterrupted power and signal transmission, yet installation space keeps shrinking. VAHLE developed the VKS Compact Conductor System for exactly this requirement: despite its ultra-slim form, VKS can be configured with up to 6 poles, transmitting drive power as well as control currents and other signals over the same line.

Robust Housing, High Power Capacity, Flexible Mounting — with its solid extruded housing and wide power range, VKS adapts easily to different installation types. The touch-protected design allows safe use in horizontal, suspended or vertical arrangements — including curved tracks. Combined with the VAHLE Multi Carrier (VMT), positioning systems can also be integrated.

Long-Life, Low-Maintenance Solution — notable for its low maintenance needs, the VKS system guarantees trouble-free operation even under heavy contamination or in cold-store environments, which is why automation technology manufacturers have made it their standard solution for many years.
