Inductive Power Transfer IPT®-Floor
Generally the basic function of IPT® Floor systems is the same as that of other IPT® systems. But there are some additional or specific aspects to consider.
The cable loop must be installed in a way that complete coverage of the supply of vehicles along the entire travelling path is given. This way installed the cable routing also defines the travelling path of vehicles. With iDAT it is possible to detect the magnetic field around the cabling and to supply a guidance signal to the vehicle control and to control so the movement of the vehicle. Unwanted and expensive guidance slots become obsolete this way. Various travelling paths can be defined. Switches, crossings, etc. are no problem. The pickup just needs to be placed so that it is exposed to the magnetic field in a sufficient way.
F-Pickups with integrated Regulator
Typical applications for F-Pickups are those, where obstacles on the floor are not allowed, i.e. at automated guided vehicle lines.
Pickup and Regulator do form an integrated unit. Already at the output of the Pickup the required output voltages are present. The vehicle integration of multiple boxes and the cable routing in between them is not necessary.
