Electric monorail systems enable overhead transport with flexible routing. VAHLE supplies power and data transmission designed for high-speed, safe operation in logistics and automotive plants across North America.
Electric monorail systems (EMS) are overhead conveyors used to transport carriers, pallets or workpiece holders along defined routes. They are common in intralogistics — for example, in warehouses, distribution centers and supermarkets — as well as in automotive and industrial plants where bodies, subassemblies or components must be moved between process steps. By routing carriers above the floor, EMS solutions keep aisles and work areas clear for people, forklifts and other equipment.
Because EMS carriers are often driven and controlled individually or in small groups, they place high demands on electrification and control technology. At the same time, components must be compact, safe for personnel working underneath and reliable in multi-shift or 24/7 operation.
VAHLE’s conductor rail systems provide continuous power and data along curved tracks, inclines and multi-zone layouts. Our technology supports real-time vehicle tracking, contactless power options for clean zones, and precise control for start/stop positioning.
VAHLE Inc. offers complete system solutions for electric monorail systems, combining conductor rail technology, contactless power supply, data communication and positioning systems. Our components are designed for high speeds, frequent starts and stops and tight installation spaces, making them ideal for EMS applications in North American intralogistics facilities and automotive or industrial assembly plants.
Your Vision. Our Solution.
The safe and TÜV-tested VCS-SMG-SAFE and VCS-PCB-SAFE application control systems enable the simple implementation of safety functions using preconceived technology applications. Safe control and monitoring of the drive technology is fully implemented via the VCS-SMG-SAFE or VCS-PCB-SAFE.
The VAHLE VCSX control series is ideal for use in these applications thanks to its modular and configurable modular concept, consisting of various combinations of housing sizes, power class combinations, data transmission types, encoder support and I/O connection, and can be easily adapted to the respective requirements.
The VCS1 is a modular drive control solution that can use half-wave or rail bus via busbar for signal transmission between the control unit and mobile applications.
APOS Optic can position automatically controlled systems with millimeter precision at any time. The simultaneous detection of several code fields means that gaps of 40 mm can be reliably covered. The system ensures reliable detection even in challenging environments.
The world's first intelligent current collector for overhead monorail systems and storage and retrieval machines.
The SMGM enables the integration of interference-free data transmission. The communication takes place in a shielded aluminum profile, the so-called slotted waveguide, so that no interference or any influence on other communication systems in the environment must be taken into account. Due to its ultra compact design, it can be easily integrated into almost all common EMS profiles and systems.
VAHLE has developed a reliable overall solution, specifically for EMS applications. This consists of the insulated conductor rail U10, the SMGM for data communication, the APOS Optic positioning system and the VCS1 drive control system.
The CPS140 is a small and powerful inductive solution for reliably supplying mobile applications with energy. CPS impresses with its high power density and low installation effort.
APOS Magnetic is a very robust system. It guarantees absolute positioning and is immediately ready for use. The magnetic process is absolutely error-resistant, even in damp, dusty or dim lighting conditions.
With the CPS 20, VAHLE has a sophisticated and field-proven solution for inductive power supply in its range. Crane systems, heavy automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and applications with high power ranges are reliably supplied with energy.
The low-maintenance U10 and FABA100 are proven means of power and data transmission for a wide range of transportation applications and can be flexibly adapted to almost any track layout.
