VAHLE – Your system supplier for intelligent energy and data transmission
Products
Energy transmission: reliable, efficient and flexible
Without energy, there is no movement. To perform their tasks reliably, mobile industrial applications need electrical power. Our vPOWER solutions offer the right transmission system for every requirement.
Advancing digitization requires the transmission of ever greater volumes of data. Our vCOM solutions ensure reliable data communication for the control of automated conveyor systems at all times.
Modern manufacturing requires automated conveyor systems that can be positioned with extreme precision. The prerequisites for this are created by our robust vPOS solutions, which are available with both magnetic and optical processes.
Automation is shaping modern production processes more than ever. Numerous mobile conveyor units must be reliably controlled. With our versatile vDRIVE solutions, this can be achieved flexibly and with optimized performance.
With our holistic system solutions, we offer a perfectly coordinated product combination of power transmission, data communication, positioning and control for a wide range of applications.
To ensure that our products always function flawlessly, we offer a range of services. These include installation and commissioning, maintenance and repair, spare parts management, and training. If required, we can also assume overall responsibility for your project as a general contractor.

Slotted Microwave Guide Xtreme (SMGX) |
Slotted Microwave Guide Xtreme (SMGX)
In ports, on open industrial sites or in amusement parks, technical applications are exposed to various weather influences. To ensure reliable and safe operation of crane systems or amusement rides, power and data transmission systems have to withstand all the rigors of the weather.
With the SMGX (Slotted Microwave Guide Xtreme) data communication system, VAHLE has adapted the proven SMGM system for outdoor use.
It is based on the functional principle of the SMGM system, but has particularly robust mechanical components and also ensures significantly higher tolerances. The shielded slotted microwave guide enables high transmission rates and avoids unwanted interference signals from or to the outside. The system can also be used in indoor installations and its optional heating system ensures outdoor wall applications under extreme conditions.
Like its sister product, the SMGX system can be combined with the proven VAHLE conductor system without extensive configuration.
By combining it with the modules for energy supply (vPOWER), positioning (vPOS) and drive control (vDRIVE), it is available as a system solution. The comprehensive SMG service tool can also be used here, allowing users to analyze the system and adapt it if necessary.
