Skillet conveyors support ergonomic, flexible assembly processes. VAHLE provides coordinated power and control for smooth movement for efficient automated workstation flow in warehouses, distribution centers and industrial or automotive plants across North America.
Skillet systems consist of mobile work platforms arranged in a row. Used heavily in automotive final assembly and reconfigurable warehouse workflows, these modular conveyor systems are designed for ergonomic assembly and material handling — often requiring seamless movement across multiple stations. Variable working heights and flexible line layouts make skillet conveyors ideal for mixed-model assembly, supermarkets, pre-assembly areas and reconfigurable production concepts.
To perform these tasks reliably, each skillet platform is equipped with lifting and drive functions that must be supplied with power and controlled with positional accuracy. The line must support smooth starts and stops, accumulation and bypass options, and integration with manual or automated workstations, whether in a warehouse, logistics area or assembly line. This requires continuous power supply, robust data communication and precise positioning along the entire skillet conveyor line.
VAHLE Inc. offers flexible system solutions for power and data transmission, positioning and control on skillet conveyor lines. Our compact, robust components are designed for small installation spaces, high vehicle or product variance and multi-shift or 24/7 operation. They help intralogistics systems and automotive or industrial assembly plants across North America achieve high availability, low maintenance and safe, efficient production and material flow.
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.
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 VKS was developed for small installation arms and can be assigned up to six poles. This means that the system can also transmit control currents and other signals in addition to the drive power.
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.
