EMS system

System solution for electrified monorail systems

Overhead conveyor systems such as electrified monorail systems are a tried-and-tested means of covering long distances in the production process. The vehicles can be driven individually on their mounting rails and controlled with pinpoint accuracy. If one fails, it can be easily removed from the system without affecting the other vehicles.

Since rail systems and hangers can be individually designed, EMS are particularly flexible and are therefore also used in numerous industries. Regardless of the specific area of application, all systems have one thing in common: to ensure reliable operation and maximum availability, they depend on a high-performance energy and data supply system.

VAHLE has developed a process-safe overall solution especially for these requirements. The U10 insulated conductor rail, which can be adapted to almost any track layout, serves as the basis. By combining it with the SMGM (Slotted Microwave Guide Mini) data communication system, the APOS Optic positioning system and the VCS1 drive control, you receive all components from a single source.
