The WirelessCharger 3.0 is an industrial, wireless charging system, based on inductive coupling which provides automated contactless, fully intervention-free, and efficient battery charging for various kinds of vehicles, i.e. all kinds of Automated Guide Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs / Cobots) or industrial trucks and forklifts.
Optimized, Efficient Charging
Using Lithium batteries, the charging process is optimized by a constant interaction between the onboard battery management system (BMS) and the Inductive Power Supply (IPS). The track supply only provides the instantaneously required power.
In contrast to conventional charging systems – conductive charging contacts and “plugged” inductive systems – the WirelessCharger 3.0 does not use any plugs or paddles and is fully intervention free.
Positioning the vehicle roughly over the Inductive Stationary Pad (ISP), the stationary coil is the only requirement. Charging can be fully automated.
Providing in-process charging automation capability, Wireless Chargers are ideal to apply opportunity charging. Short and frequent contactless charging intervals do reduce the thermal load on batteries, do extend their lifetime and make reduced battery capacities possible. Wirelss charging becomes a process integrated doing, there are no extended dead times for charging or travelling times to designated charging locations or even swapping batteries.
