CPS® for floor skid conveyors CPS® for electrical monorail systems

The advantages of contactless and maintenance-free power transmission, as already used for many purposes in the field of FTS vehicles, are now available for electrical monorail systems, which are widely used in the automotive industry. The system developed VAHLE especially for this application with outgoing and return conductors (two-conductor principle)  has proven its capability especially in terms of its outstanding EMF and EMC characteristics.

Position Recognition

To be able to detect the current position of the electrical monorail system vehicle, the use of th path-detection system WCS by Pepperl & Fuchs is recommended. With a U-shaped sensor head, a coded rail is scanned optoelectronically with a precise resolution also without contact. Via a serial RS485 interface, the position value can be transmitted directly to the controller without contact with the help of the VAHLE Powercom CPS® data transmission system.
